Once you get used to the gameplay, you'll have a lot of fun with this one.
If you're a fan of the 80's, get this. -

Mar 11, 2021What a gem. I dont really know what else to say. I love games like this. Very cool "story", great pixel graphics, wonderful dystopian atmosphere, awesome humor, lots of action. Feels great on the Switch. The only downside: its quite short. Other than that, really good.

Apr 6, 2022Look, this game isn’t deep. Retro run-and-gun with moderate difficulty and gorgeous pixel art. If you’re into 80s sci-if action flicks, there’s plenty here for you. Great voice acting. Nice cameo by Gizmo!

Jan 13, 2022Without exaggeration, this is one of the best games in recent years. The gameplay, controls and styling are excellent. John Sawyer's lines stay in the memory for a long time, it's a perfect balance of wittiness and coolness. It would be great if the developers add more secrets, characters, weapons and cool finishing moves in the sequel.

May 15, 2022A very entertaining tribute to the action games from the 90s. Would totally recommend.

Mar 1, 2021This game is freakin fun! I don't usually go for these but it was really enjoyable! Gives me Escape from NY vibes. Great soundtrack, cheesy 80s one liners. And for 10 to 15 bucks?! WORTH IT! Get it!

Jun 4, 2020Una joya 2d que te cautivará visualmente. Una obra que seguramente será memorable para quién lo juegue, tiene un game play divertido y exquisito como pocos, literalmente una fusión de contra y metal Slug con tintes de otra joya indie: Katana Zero!

Oct 28, 2020Buen juego, tiene todo lo que se le podría pedir a un juego del genero, deja poco que desear, se puede decir que flaquea un poco en música y diferencias notorias en niveles (en cuanto diseño del plataformeo). Cuesta encontrar juegos tan buenos de el genero en la época, un gusto.

Dec 20, 2022Fun game!
Simplistic but fun, old school side scrolling shooter.
I’ve been working my way through lots of games of this style. This is definitely one of the better ones. -
Dec 24, 2022This is an average game. But I still think it’s worth around $3. If you pay more you might regret it.

Oct 4, 2020Huntdown is a very good game. Its frenetic and modernized action, its beautifully created setting and its design full of details, makes it one of the best run & gun games on Nintendo Switch and will delight veteran and new players.
-
Jun 25, 2020Huntdown is a cool, crass and challenging game that manages to do just enough to stand out above the static of analogue signals. Its strength is in how it never takes itself seriously, while the tried-and-tested gameplay and the clear attention to detail is a prime example of how to carve in quality presentation with a First Blood Survival Knife.

Jun 16, 2020It doesn't quite stand out for its originality, but the gameplay experience is more than satisfying, with frantic action, a good visual world, enjoyable soundtrack and plenty of cheesy dialogue lines. With an additional layer of fun if played with two players, Huntdown on the Nintendo Switch is a recommended game for anyone looking for a fun and action-packed arcade experience.
