Critic Reviews
Huntdown is a heck of a fun and intense game. It has some minor control issues on mobile, but otherwise is a brutally good time, particularly if you have a fondness for its specific flavor of dark sci-fi action.
Campbell Bird · Jun 16, 2021 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewHuntdown is a retro action-platformer similar to games like Contra and Streets of Rage that tasks us with clearing our city of punk rocker baddies and defeating bosses in the form of bounty hunts.
TinyLittleGames · Jun 04, 2021 Reviewed on AndRead full reviewHuntdown may not appeal to everyone, but if you have a soft spot for 16-bit retro shooters and '80s action movies (or if you happen to be a nostalgic gamer of a certain age), it's pretty much guaranteed to please. It's just as punishing and satisfying as you'd expect, and that's a very good thing.
Adam Pavlacka · Jun 01, 2021 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewHuntdown has been out for a while, but it's a good, silly tonic for players looking for a nice distraction from all of the heavy and involved open-world adventuring out there. It'll scratch most of your action itches and, if you're a certain age like me, it'll bring back a few memories of a bygone era. It's not the worst thing to think about.
Redmond Carolipio · Sep 15, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewIts strength is in how it never takes itself seriously, while the tried-and-tested gameplay and the clear attention to detail is a prime example of how to carve in quality presentation with a First Blood Survival Knife.
Darren Palma · Jun 24, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewHuntdown had the foresight to get-in on that trend early with the understanding of how to make a gratifying shooter, making it one of the more complete feeling indie titles to date on the Switch.
Joel A. DeWitte · Jun 15, 2020 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe only real place this game stumbles is the lack of online multiplayer. I understand that setting up online multiplayer can be costly for indie developers, but I can’t tell you how the co-op is because we are currently in a pandemic and this game feels like something I would play with a friend over the course of a day. Luckily, the Steam copy has a screen-sharingfeature that means there is a workaround for the lack of online multiplayer, but I am on console unfortunately.
Anthony Mann · Jun 11, 2020 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewHuntdown takes everything amazing about the cheesy action films of the ’90s, the crazy themed enemies and the over the top dialogue, and puts you in control as you fight your way through a Running Man-like set of villains.
Eric Halliday · Jun 02, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewHuntdown is an extremely enjoyable romp that does its coin-op predecessors proud when it comes to satisfying gameplay and perfectly-executed graphics, earning its spot alongside the other retro indie greats…or just alongside other great action games, period. If you’re reading this, then just go and buy it. You will most assuredly not be disappointed.
Kyle LeClair · May 26, 2020 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewWhile Huntdown's cloying one-liners and disconcerting framing can occasionally come across as grating, its captivating gunplay successfully mixes the chaos of classic run and gun games with the methodical cadence of modern cover shooters. Dashing through murderous strikes while you slide under incoming bullets creates a sense of cool that the game's writing fails to deliver, inching it a little bit closer to the heights of its many points of inspiration.

Great gameThe website is forcing to write a review
Reviewed on AndMe gustó.
Reviewed on SwitchIt's a cyberpunk runner gunner platforming game with epic background music. The game is difficult even on normal mode but the satisfaction when you beat the boss is worth the grind. The game doesn't have much of a story and doesn't have much replay value. It's best enjoyed with a friend and as a couch co-op game.
