#HUNTDOWN ART PC#
Huntdown was not designed specifically for mobile, as it first appeared on PC and consoles. To further add to this variety, Huntdown has multiple bounty hunters with unique weapons to play as, an arcade take on its core story mode, level secrets to uncover, and additional difficulty options upon a first clear of the game. Huntdown's style also gives the game some room for variety when it comes to enemy and weapon design, which makes for encounters that range from shooting lasers at giant robots to beating up a group of henchmen with a wrench. In this way, Huntdown effectively passes itself off as a forgotten title from a bygone era. It's just cool and dumb in the way that stuff was cool and dumb, and it does so without ever feeling too campy or self-referential. This game is a playground of homage to hyperviolent, edgy, and dark futuristic action that never feels too derivative of any one touchstone. If you're at all a fan of cyberpunk or 80s-era visions of sci-fi dystopia, it's likely that Huntdown has already caught your eye. Using these tools-as well as the ability to run, jump, dash, slide, and take cover all over your environment-can lead to a lot of interesting and varied approaches to gunfights. Your bounty hunter has a side-arm, some kind of thrown weapon, and the ability to pick up weapons dropped by enemies. The action in Huntdown is akin to something like the classic Metal Slug games, though with some added traversal abilities. This structure basically creates a way to have multiple boss fights for each gang type and allow for some experimentation and variety in level and enemy design for each gang archetype. In order to do this, you need to lay waste to hundreds of henchmen while picking off key leaders to work your way to the head honcho. In Huntdown, you take control of a bounty hunter who has been hired to take out three high-profile gangs. when dealing with some hinky mobile controls. It feels better, even though it isn't quite as well suited for mobile play as it should be. Huntdown may look like old arcade games you've played before, but it doesn't quite feel like them. This shooting platformer captures the look and feel of yesterday's edgy action games by filling it to the brim with classic cyberpunk imagery, rendered in a loving sprite-based style. Huntdown really wants you to believe it's a long-lost 90s arcade game that has resurfaced on mobile.
