It really did make you feel like a bad-ass bounty hunter clearing the streets and mowing down crazy gang leaders. This does add a bit weight to all your killing and her hazy figure speaking to you through a crackly monitor before each stage adds a bit of depth to the story. The bosses were great fun and very well designed.Įach of the stages is proceeded by a short animated cutscene where you are given the details of your bounty by a mysterious lady called Rose. Each game section is quite short too so it was never too long between these interesting boss fights, which kept the game fresh and enjoyable. Whether it is a laser security system you have to keep an eye on or a massive mech you have to destroy first, each boss was fun to fight and very different from each other. “Is that your face?” Sweet, sweet, gruesome justice.Įach bounty you have to kill is very well designed, each boss has a certain puzzle-like quality to them and they all have unique traits and hazards that you have to overcome. There was nothing better than running, sliding behind a crate and shotgunning two enemies faces off on the other side while avoiding their gunfire. This has been done in a few of these games before and it does give the shootouts a slight tactical feel which I really enjoyed.
Huntdown uses a cover system where you can slide behind boxes or duck into doorways to avoid gunfire and it works extremely well.
GAMES LIKE HUNTDOWN FULL
The game is full of references and lines from other films, it was fun listening to the characters spouting nonsense as I was decimating enemies left right and centre. I remember one of the characters saying “I don’t want to be crass but I’m kicking ass!” in a very low, deep action hero style voice and it made me titter to myself more than it should, then again, I am easily amused. It’s brash, it’s loud, it’s full of quips and one-liners that made me smile on more than one occasion. This game feels very much like a game from the ’90s. You can even bring a friend along in local co-op if you see fit. You control one of three deranged characters who must take out each gang in turn, kill bounty targets and try your hardest not to get filled full of lead. There are hockey gangs and biker gangs and there is only one fearless set of rogues that can wrestle back control from these hoodlums – the Bounty Hunters.
Huntdown is a game about a city where the cops have been overrun by gangs and criminals, think of the film The Warriors mixed with a bit of Mad Max.
GAMES LIKE HUNTDOWN PS4
Huntdown PS4 Review Become A Bounty Hunter It has to have some unique features and it needs to be well made, otherwise, it just ends up falling into a forgotten hole of nearly successful indie games like so many have before it. I remember playing classics like Contra and Metal Slug in my youth and in order for a game of this ilk to be successful in the modern era it needs to be memorable. Everything from Broforce to Not A Hero has tried to rekindle our love for classic-looking arcade action games. Pixel art indie side-scrolling games are a dime a dozen in recent years.
