They’re not few and far between, yet the game doesn’t always dispense them based on your sucky performance. These are instant use pickups, in that you can’t store them for when you’re getting low. Single chunks can be restored with Max Payne-esque painkillers, whilst your whole bar can be replenished with a medical kit. Standard shots/melee attacks usually take one block off, whilst being caught with an explosion will take more off at once. You have a health bar, broken into five chunks, that once depleted will have you restarting a level or checkpoint again. * yes, I know Demolition Man is a 90’s film, but it felt thematic here so shut up”.
Taking note from bosses in Contra and Streets of Rage, these fights can range from simple “shoot them with lead until they’re dead” affairs, to taking out security turrets in waves first or the boss being on a hover bike. As you get as far as you can go, you’re greeted by one of each gang’s varying boss battles before you’re done.

It doesn’t rewrite the playbook, but instead adds a few liner notes on how to improve it.įor the uninitiated, the format is pretty simple: you start on the left-hand side of the screen, and you MDK* every bad dude that stands in your way to the right. You shouldn’t need me to tell you how Huntdown plays on its most basic level, that picture should be enough. Why faff around with something that is great already?
#HUNTDOWN ACHIEVEMENTS UPGRADE#
There are no customisation or upgrade options to any of them, but then… there doesn’t need to be. These three are as every bit as corny as you would expect, which really shows Coffee Stain’s commitment to the bit.

Or on a more mainstream level, think Crackdown, if that helps.įilling in this rogue’s gallery of mercenaries are three glorious stereotypes: Anna Conda, who wears a Snake Pliskin eye-patch and has the attitude to boot John Sawyer, a cyborg who’s been a man ever since he was a boy (that’s a quote verbatim from the trailer) and Mow Man, a killer android that sounds like Kryten, of Red Dwarf fame. If you’ve ever played Roll7/Devolver’s Not A Hero, and you should have, you’ll immediately recognise the layout. Thus, each of the four districts are broken into a handful of levels per gang. Your handler, Miss Rose, sends you to dispatch four of the biggest gangs, which comprise of a leader and several lieutenants. You have no jurisdiction to adhere to, as you are above the realm of law, so you can shoot, explode and generally mess up anyone that stands in your way. Society has fallen, giving way to what every 80’s film portrayed gangs to look like, and you’re the mercenaries that have been called in to clean the streets. The plot may be pure Robocop, Judge Dredd or any other number of clichéd stories from the 80’s… which is why I love it. Alright, it’s not going to win any prizes on originality, but it’s not trying to. No goat’s this time – just a dystopian MegaCity where law and order has declined and gangs roam the streets, vying for control.

Huntdown comes to us from Easy Trigger, and is published by Coffee Stain, the Swedish publisher of Goat Simulator fame. Is it a worthy tribute to everything we loved about the era, or are we now at the point where “new retro” games are getting old hat?ĭead or alive, you’re coming with me… as we take a ride on this blast from the future past. So when Huntdown landed at Finger Guns HQ, and off the back of Sean’s hands-on recommendation at EGX Rezzed, I jumped on it.
I don’t, I’ll tell you why Blade Runner is amazing until your ears fall off. Any excuse to glorify The Terminator, Ghostbusters, Akira, electronic synth music and one-liners is a pleasure that no one should feel guilty about.
We’re all such suckers for 80’s nostalgia, too. Considering you kill more people than Rambo and Robocop is an aside when ultraviolence looks so good. There’s something so wonderfully entrancing about 2D shooters, the beauty in the simplicity of their styles.
It was only when Metal Slug made more prominence over here that my interest was piqued. Not out of choice, I just wasn’t really aware of them. Alien Storm, Contra, ESWAT, all of the older ones, somehow passed me by. I missed a lot of the run-and-gun shooters as a child.
