Huntdown

Huntdown is an arcade shooter set in a crime-ridden future where gangs rule the streets and bounty hunters take on the criminal underworld. You run, jump and take cover as you fight gangs and their bosses, collect bounties and try to free the city from crime.

Bounty hunters

You can play as one of three bounty hunters:

• Anna Conda: an ex-commando and firearms expert who kills without question or mercy, with collateral damage a possibility.
• John Sawyer: a scarred veteran and former Special Forces cop who left the law behind. He has lost so many limbs in combat that he is practically half robot.
• Mow Man: a modified recon droid, stolen and equipped with banned software, who trades bodies for cash and does not expect to be taken alive.

Gangs and city

Huntdown has 20 levels set in gritty, neon-lit, graffiti-covered 1980s cityscapes. Each level has a gang boss to defeat and a bounty to collect. The four gangs you face are:

• Hoodlum Dolls: violent, feral punks winning a gang war against toothless authorities.
• Misconducts: organised hockey hooligans skilled in robbery and extortion, with a penchant for explosives.
• The Heatseekers: a murderous motorcycle club whose rockabilly villains model themselves on the centurions of Ancient Rome.
• NO.1 Suspects: disciplined organised criminals and martial arts experts who control the night through casinos and nightclubs.

Weapons and combat

You confiscate machine guns, laser weapons, katanas, grenades and other weapons, then use them against their owners. You can stab, shoot and blow up gangs and bosses as you pursue bounties.

Co-op and arcade mode

You can hunt solo or team up in couch co-op or Steam Remote Play, whether your partner is in the same room or far away. In Arcade Mode, players around the world compete for leaderboard positions in a timed bounty hunt. Build your score with combo kills, quickdraw weapon-swap bonuses or by throwing criminals from rooftops, and collect as many bounties as possible before time runs out.

Art and sound

The game combines hand-painted 16-bit pixel art and hand-drawn animation with 60-FPS gameplay and a synthesized soundtrack.
