Oh, and there’s a great variety of those, spread between the four gangs in the game. The levels themselves offer some environmental hazards and the slightest hint of platforming, but most of the danger comes from gangers.

Mow Man’s eyes shine menacingly as he stalks rockabillies. While taking cover is an important part of survival, it’s not always feasible and getting the hell outta dodge will be vital. Murdering your way through Huntdown‘s many sidescrolling levels, you’ll be shooting, kicking, sliding, throwing, and ducking your way though besieged suburbs, gang-controlled metro stations, highways, and cyberpunk casinos. Meanwhile, cyborg Sawyer’s boomerang is much weaker, but it can cut the enemies on the way back as well. You see, while Ana Conda’s axe kills most mooks dead, it has a ballistic arc and limited range. However, Mow Man can also throw kunai – flying in a straight line, it’s the easiest to use thrown weapon. So Anna Conda totes a machine pistol that fires in burst, Sawyer has the slow yet powerful magnum, and the robot is just equipped with the most middle-of-the-road pistol that can shoot almost as fast as you pull the trigger. Visit the local bar, shoot some of the local crazy bikers.Įach hunter in Huntdown has a unique pistol with endless ammo reserves and a cooldown-enabled thrown weapon. So what sets them apart aside from the visuals and endless quips are their armaments. The characters are not laden down with stats – each has five health points (at normal difficulty, at least), no particular damage resistances, and identical movement. You’ll be controlling one of them, and another can join if you have a friend to play with you. The three mercs are Anna Conda, John Sawyer (a cyborg), and Mow Man (an actual robot). You can become one of them and take on the massive gangs causing unrest in local corporate holdings. Those people are bounty hunters, only in it for the money, maybe the thrill of the kill as well. Yet one group rejects both of those paths. Everyone is either a corporate citizen or a member of a criminal gang.
#Huntdown art movie
Like every good movie of the era, Huntdown starts with a text crawl. Do you want to be a gritty ’80s action movie hero, mowing down mooks and reveling in it? Do you long for cyberpunk and sci-fi movies that featured more abandoned factories than CGI? Then Huntdown from Easy Trigger Games is the game for you.
