Very nostalgic and powerful game. I was a kid when I played so much with 2D and sidescroll games. Huntdown is an excellent in this category, because complex, with a cozy background music in a not too distant cyberpunk future. Absolutely amazing boss fights, fantastic throwback to old-school run n' gun arcade shooters. That 80's neon era is intense on this level of frenetic warzone.

The tone here is very much The Warriors, the gameplay a direct call-back to classics such as Contra, Metal Slug, Robocop, Escape From New York and Renegade. Platforming, for the most part, takes a firm backseat to straight-up shooting as you mow your way through short, fast-paced levels stuffed full of roller-skating hockey thugs, leather-clad punks and bike-riding greasers wielding everything from iron bars to the very latest in futuristic automatic weaponry.

Huntdown does a great job of resurrecting this old-school style of run n' gun gameplay whilst leaving the often soul-destroying difficulty of coin-up classics at the door – well, at least it does on normal mode.
