    Nice run and gun. Not too hard, bosses may even be too easy. Nice, but nothing special either.

    Un juego de tiros en 2D con una dificultad desafiante pero sin que te haga desesperar, tiene unos gráficos bonitos aunque podría mejorar en este aspecto no me quejo, sin embargo algunos niveles se hacen repetitivos y dando quizás demasiada importancia a los jefes finales de la que debería.

    A very fun modern run and gun game. the levels are short but compact and dense but i wish was more distinct from one another. The enemies and bosses are pretty fun. My main problem is that i wish the challenges were more based on their levels and the reward being a shallow cheat mode is dissapointing, i wished their was a fifth area even if it was shorter and maybe a sandbox mode.

    Huntdown may not appeal to everyone, but if you have a soft spot for 16-bit retro shooters and '80s action movies (or if you happen to be a nostalgic gamer of a certain age), it's pretty much guaranteed to please. It's just as punishing and satisfying as you'd expect, and that's a very good thing.

    Of course, in the world of Huntdown, you can find flaws, such as primitive AI, lack of upgrades or too similar characters, but this does not prevent you from enjoying a very bright and well-staged action.

    Little touches like kicking enemies when they’re close into the air and then blasting them before they hit the ground is the sort of style needed to match Huntdown’s, well, style. Again, if the aesthetic grabs you it won’t let go until the final scumbag meets the end of your firearm. Just don’t expect your moves to match that of the funky synth-lines simmering below the neon, vibrant, and pleasantly grimy surface.
