Huntdown Review | Gamemag

Fashion for the 80s with cranberry action movies, neon cyberpunk and a funny idea of ​​post-apocalypse continues the victorious march through the music industry and game screens.

And if the pop princess of modern music Dua lipa uses nostalgia for commercial success, then a small Swedish company Easy Trigger Games there will be a piece of fame.

Peace Huntdown in the best traditions of films, Paul Verhoeven talks about the dark future of mankind, where after the Third World War global corporations gained power.

Unable to cope with the level of crime and violence, they hire bounty hunters who can solve problems inaccessible to the police.

Shimata Corporation decides to deal with the leaders of the four strongest groups in its controlled city and hires one of the free hunters to clean.

You can choose between the stereotypical black woman Anna Conda, former policeman John Sawyer and the crazy cyborg Mow Man.

Excluding appearance, all three have a single set of weapons and techniques. The differences between the main pistols of the main characters, knives, an ax or a boomerang are minimal.

The protagonist can move from left to right, pick up abandoned equipment, jump onto platforms and use a special attack that takes time to reload.

Speaking against the heavy fire of the enemy, the character is able to hide behind boxes, move between platforms or hide in niches.

Naturally, the enemies do not miss the opportunity to take advantage of all the advantages of the level for their own benefit.

Mechanical resemblance to Contra ends with detailing the environment. As soon as you break into the bar with criminals, as ordinary visitors will rush in all directions, and an explosion from a grenade will break the glass and destroy the neon sign.
