It all sounds very straightforward, and Huntdown is easy to grasp on a fundamental level, but there is also a complex game to master here, and much of the entertainment lies in experimenting and developing yourself within its simple framework. There are four areas to visit and all in all, there are twenty rascals that you have to defeat in order to finally reach the neon-drenched credits. The premise is simple you play the role of one of three bounty hunters, and it's your job to take down the criminal gangs creating disorder in an '80s vision of a post-apocalyptic 2000s. In this hard-boiled action game, we are offered a retro flirtation of oversized proportions, and this is delivered at the same time as gameplay that feels fresh, all wrapped up in a great concept and presented with style. Many game developers have tried in recent years (with varying results), but now the question is whether anyone has ever succeeded to the same degree as Easy Trigger Games and its new indie adventure Huntdown?
Although there is obviously a lot of potential in trying to recreate successful recipes from the past, it is at the same time extremely difficult to capture those golden memories and turn them into something new that awakens the same kind of passion that the original material did all those years before. Nostalgia can be a difficult thing harness.
