So I will obey the boss I mentioned earlier and take a break from the game to list some of its qualities. « Rhaaaaaa, please don’t moove! » yells a boss in rock music background, and also many other invectives - our hunter does not deprive himself either, even making ironic jokes in accordance with the weapon he uses. I really enjoyed this game and I highly recommend it - we are talking about a high-quality indie game (and they hardly get better than this). There's not much in the plot department, but that's hardly a fault, considering the type of game the devs were aiming for. I would have loved to see more fun and unique "gimmicks" in the levels themselves, but this is more of a personal preference rather than direct criticism. The learning curve is reasonable and you really feel like a retro badass after taking down the big hitters.

Plus, each level culminates in a unique boss battle designed to test your skills even further. These gangs feel distinct from each other, both in terms of appearance and overall weaponry. You play as 1 of 3 possible mercenaries that must hunt down (pun intended) different gangs across several districts. The gameplay is smooth, focusing more on the action department.

Huntdown is a "run n' gun" platformer inspired by the 80s (cheesy one-liners, art style and soundtrack included). But perhaps you'd prefer a second or third opinion, so we handed the game over to our App Army to see if they agreed. Now it has made its way over to mobile devices, and I think it's a pretty fun time. Huntdown is an 80s inspired side-scrolling shooter that has received critical acclaim since its initial launch last year.
