Regardless of the graphical limitations, Huntdown pushes the visuals to their limit and immerses you in a chunky, gritty world. Sometimes, doing things simpler is better. However, it looks better as a 16-bit game than many others do with their massive worlds and 3D assets. This is a 16-bit game, so graphics aren’t technically its strong suit. This looks like an accurate depiction of a normal hockey game to be honest. You can also change the bounty hunter mid-game should you wish, although you’ll have to start the most recent level over to do so. All three have their benefits and, depending on your play style, might prove to work better over another, but I played the majority with Mow Man and Jon Sawyer. Anna Conda with her machine pistols, Jon Sawyer with his heavy handgun, and Mow Man the android with a middle-of-the-road handgun and mean throwing knives. There’s three bounty hunters to choose from. Getting within melee range on purpose is all but suicidal. The further away you are from enemies, the more reaction time you have to duck, drop, or jump over incoming projectiles. I picked up a melee weapon occasionally but quickly switched back to ranged weapons as distance from people is your friend in Huntdown. I used all the guns I came across, although some more than others, and none of them felt like they needed to be nerfed. No gun in of itself feels overly powerful or unfair.

Made sacred by the all-powerful motivator of cold, hard cash. Boss by boss and block by city block, you shoot, blast, and slash your way into the heart of the metropolis to complete your sacred mission. However, in typical videogame fashion, one thing leads to another and you end up taking on the rest of the rival gangs in the city, now that a power vacuum is created with the completion of your first contract. This time, it happens to come from someone wanting a troublesome gang leader wiped out. You are disassociated with both parties, loyal only to yourself and where the money comes from. Gangs and rivals rise from the ashes of destroyed governments and constantly throw their weight against their corporate counterparts. Private organizations control security and do their best to uphold the peace with their so-called law enforcement.

Neon, bright clothes, and sports cars with angles so sharp you could use them on a chopping block to fill the 2D streets with everything every teenage boy watching Terminator in theaters thought the future should look like.
