![]() All are fully voiced and, honestly, whoever voiced them did very well.Īctually, all of the voice acting is quality. Rounding out these 90’s action film character types is Mow Man, a recon droid/robot who gives that Terminator-meets- Robocop-type feel. There’s also John Sawyer, the cyborg who “has been a man since he was a boy.” He’s a lot more negative and got more of an Escape from New York feel. You have Anna Conda, a human who hates absolutely everything and drops a ton of terrible cliches everywhere. But as the game does its best to make you relive the cheesy early 90’s apocalyptic action films, having these different archetypes help. It’s actually thrilling to play.įrom a gameplay standpoint, the different characters don’t differ much. It’s a side-scrolling shooter that plays like Contra or Metal Slug, with the exception of that obnoxious thing both games did where they constantly spawn baddies.īut there’s something about Huntdown that cannot be conveyed through screenshots or even a trailer. On paper, there isn’t much that seems remarkable about Huntdown. So when I sat down to get a feel for Huntdown and then ended up staying up until three in the morning because I was hooked and wanted to see what came next, I was very surprised. I’m also not a shooter guy and I don’t get into games with a lot of violence. I’m not knocking them, I just had an Atari when it was new and I run blindly towards the future with an inability to look back. When I was given the opportunity to review Huntdown, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Platforms: PlayStation 4 (version reviewed), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC Huntdown is an incredible return to the glory days of cheesy ’90s action films, effectively nailing the stereotypes of all the great movies.
