While we could be stuck in quarantine for another month, fans have been left to find their fun with video games. What’s great is Coffee Stain publishing and East Trigger Games have come out to announce Huntdown, an 80s-inspired shooter set in a sci-fi world.
Check it out:
Set in a bleak dystopian future where sadistic gangs rule and cops fear to tread, only three legendary bounty hunters have the arsenal and killer instincts to take back the city from the corrupt fist of felony.
Inspired by the action movies and pop culture of the 80s with a gritty, violent twist, Huntdown is an old school arcade side scroller for the modern bounty hunter. The slick platformer features hand painted 16-bit pixel art graphics and hand-drawn animations, combined with fluid action-packed 60-FPS gameplay and an epic 80s soundtrack pumping dark wave, industrial synth, hard rock and electro through 20 unique levels.
The game looks fantastic and seeks to be a love letter to the 80s. It’s so cheesy, it’s fantastic; even the names of the bounty hunters sound like they tried to find the corniest names ever. You can pick between the likes of kick-ass assassin Anna Conda, future cop John Sawyer, or robotic killing machine Mow Man.
With all the excitement for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 in September, this game is sure to keep you hyped for the ‘future-world’ while you wait for the release.
Huntdown will be available for Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC on May 12.
