AbsolutSurgen Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Wow. That looks like late 80s/early 90s greatness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 That looks amusing. Would normally be something I wish I could play a demo of first, see if I would like it enough to play more than the first level. But at $20, fuck it, why not. Two player online coop too.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Game Information Game Title: Huntdown Platforms: PlayStation 4 (May 12, 2020) Xbox One (May 12, 2020) PC (May 12, 2020) Nintendo Switch (May 12, 2020) Developer: Easy Trigger Publisher: Coffee Stain Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 83 average - 89% recommended Critic Reviews Noisy Pixel - 9.5 / 10 Quote Huntdown takes you back to the days of classic arcade 2D action games but utilizes modern tools to perfect the genre. From the beginning to the end, this game is an absolute thrill. The attention to detail in the environments and the ever-changing rollout of enemies play a huge part in keeping each moment of gameplay fresh with a high level of intensity. FingerGuns - 9 / 10 Quote It may not break ground on the neo-nostalgic front, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a wonderful homage to an era of games and movies that paved the way for this to happen. Nintendo Life - 9 / 10 Quote Quote not yet available TheSixthAxis - 9 / 10 Quote Huntdown is, quite simply, one of the best side-scrolling shooters I've ever played. Incredible retro pixel art, generous local co-op, a stonking frame rate and an addictive game play loop that had me coming back for more; Huntdown is the total package. Boomstick Gaming - 8 / 10 Quote Video Review - Quote not available Destructoid - 8 / 10 Quote Huntdown is a nihilistic, loud, explosive, even obnoxious arcade shooter. But behind its acid comic style and vulgar tone lies a superb, meticulously created action experience, packing in addictive and creative carnage, at breakneck pace, for an agreeable price. Heed the warning: Do Not Sleep on Huntdown. It's an absolute blast. GameSpew - 8 / 10 Quote Quote not yet available Hobby Consolas - Spanish - 80 / 100 Quote Huntdowns is a brilliant retro shooter, fast and defying, full of 80´s references and easter eggs. Local coop makes the game even better. Push Square - 8 / 10 Quote Huntdown is an ode to the gloriously violent and ridiculous action movies of the 80s, revelling in cheesy one-liners, larger than life characters, and wanton bloodshed. It's challenging but largely fair, with some thrilling boss encounters that require a variety of tactics to bring to justice. The thumping soundtrack and beautiful 16-bit aesthetic are just the icing on the cake, like a perfectly delivered "Stick around!" after Arnie pins an enemy to the wall with an expertly thrown blade.
