Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced experience may hit a wall in the run-and-gun combat and timed arcade mode.

Our take on HUNTDOWN
Players who dislike racing a timer may hit a wall in arcade mode, where each run centers on collecting bounties and building a score before time runs out. The main campaign also asks players to repeatedly move through enemy-filled stages, using cover and weapons against gangs and their bosses.
What is HUNTDOWN?
HUNTDOWN is an arcade shooter set in a future city controlled by criminal gangs.
Run, jump, take cover, and fight gang members and bosses while collecting bounties across 20 levels. Choose from three bounty hunters, each with a different background, and use weapons including machine guns, laser weapons, katanas, and grenades. Play solo or join another player in couch co-op or through Steam Remote Play. Arcade mode pits players against the clock as they score points through actions such as combo kills, weapon swaps, and throwing enemies from rooftops, with scores tracked on leaderboards. The game uses pixel-art graphics and hand-drawn animations, with a synthesized soundtrack.
