If you're looking for a new indie game that's got plenty of action, kick ass moves and retro-aesthetics throughout, then have we got just the game for you! Welcome to 'Huntdown'; a retro style shoot em up that not only takes place in a post-apocalyptic Cyberpunk setting, but it also draws its inspiration from old arcade shooters like Contra and Metal Slug, while adding tactical elements like taking cover behind walls and alleys and jumping up and down from platforms just like in the Rolling Thunder games.
You work as bounty hunters trying to find and kill different leaders. Just like in the movie The Warriors every level has a different style of gangs that are spread out through the levels and at the end you encounter the leader that you have to kill to collect the bounty. The level of detail in the pixel graphics is just amazing, the game doesn't use any recurring tiles anywhere, every level is carefully drawn making every stage unique. And the animations and the details of the Cyberpunk setting with neon light skyscrapers in the background to all the small props on the levels are all beautifully crafted!
So yes if Huntdown is a game that appeals to you with all its kick ass weaponry included then head on over to the GOG or Steam page below and check it out!
