Dont Skip - Huntdown
Ойындар
This retro style shooter is a spectacular love letter, written to its cinematic muse, with a katana blade and a hand grenade.

I'm enjoying this game so much. Please, consider releasing a Sega Genesis port. This game screams SEGA harder than all the Genesis intros combined!
Don Casanova is a deep poetic soul and this isn't a video, its a love letter!

This is definitely the most "Don't Skipable" game of the year, play it! it's out on all consoles but i think most think it's only on Switch and PC.
This game is amazing. It rekindled my love of the run n gun genre. I bought it on Switch and now I'm waiting for it to release on Steam to buy it again on my PC.

Such a badass game! That intro alone makes it worth it! Smooth gameplay, cool 80's themes, fair difficulty levels, and nice variety!
I picked this up once Don pointed it out like a month ago. Definitely solid Indie, soundtrack alone was a joy
I had never heard of this game. Thanks don

I only heard it when Don spoke about it during Huber Syndrome-if he didn't mention it I and others would've never known about it and it'd be floating about unnoticed. Huntdown is one of the best games of this year no question.

One of the worst parts about Epic buying store exclusivity. So much more traffic on the steam store.
Wow im impressed. One of the best looking pixelart games for sure.
I think Don just convinced me to pick this game up.
Yeah this games fire
Definitely one of my favs of the year and absolutely deserves more spotlight. Keep fighting the good fight, Don!
Don is a national treasure
Thankfully EZA has promoted this most hidden of hidden gems. An absolute smash hit of a retro shooter-it's sublime and amazing and this Don't Skip should give Huntdown the attention it sorely deserves. Now if only the community can vote for this on the stream team then we'd be set.
Glad that you guys took community feedback and adapted Don's Hall of Greats presentation into a Don't Skip. Good job, Don!
GOTY for me, great to see it get some more attention.
Don...you sold me on this during Hall of Greats...this game is superbly sound and tight in it's gameplay mechanics. Great game
A Don recommendation is as good as gold.
I played this recently and it really is a gem that more people need to know about. The Bladerunner vibes are amazing

Don is a legend.
HUNT, DOWN.
Love that this is getting some attention, I bought it the day it came out on a whim, and it's absolutely excellent.
This game is fantastic. I bought it at release but just got around to playing it this past month. I love everything about it.
Don has a way with words that is unlike any other I have seen.
One of the best boss fights ever, This game is unique and it's one of my best indie games ever
I just started playing this, 100% worth it. Even better with co-op.
Oh wow I'll buy that now! Steam:"available May 2021" Me: Why would Dom do this to me?

One of the best games i ever played!
I think I took 200 screenshots of this on my Switch haha. Super good game, boss fights are challenging, satisfying, and also hilarious with the voice acting.
This is an underrated masterpiece imo!
Bought it immediately, love it, thank you Don! Would never have heard of it otherwise!
When Blackthorne meets The Warriors, you have this game!
Having finished it not too long ago i totally agree. Huber put me onto this so cheers for that buddy! Had an awesome time and found it totally addictive!
Yes thanks for reviewing this! I love the cyberpunk 80's aesthetic.

Picked this up last week and I'm absolutely loving it. Great gameplay, killer graphics and music, and an overall awesome vibe make this a blast to play solo or in couch co-op with a friend. Definitely a must play if you are a fan of 80's action movies and run & gun games.
I can't agree more. The game is just absolutely great. I haven't had this much fun dying and retrying in quite some time :) And that music, man, mmmmm, that music.... Just... Just listen to that... say... "Number 1 suspects" boss theme music :) Isn't it awesome ?! ISN'T IT !?!
It's a "DON" Skip
I played this about a year ago. Really good game. It would have been right at home in the arcades in the early-mid 90s or maybe a late Sega Genesis title. The movie inspirations were wonderful and it mostly hit a good balance in difficulty. Although some of the later levels got a little frustrating and tedious. Overall, though, if you want to know what it was like playing great games in the golden age, try this one out. They really did manage to recapture a lot of the magic from back then, or so says this gray bearded gamer.
as soon as i get some free cash im getting this game. looks amazing.
Don't skip Huntdown!
Great job, Don.
i fell ij love with this game.
Don is such a gem
I bought this game solely on Don’s glowing description of it in the last Hall of Greats. Absolutely loved every second of it!
Props, Don. This game is a treat.
Great game. Bought it day one, love it!! ❤️😃😎
Don absolutely killed it. Hoping for more.
I’m sold.

Had to go back to this video after finally buying it on Switch. It's 50% off there now btw. Easy buy and recommend! Played on co-op with a friend, such a blast!
I love the art style. Gonna grab this now while it's on sale.
Once Don brought this game to the Hall of Greats, instantly bought it. It became one of my favorite games of all time.
Awesome video, I'm sad I did not see this when it released
I hope the devs see this.
Don is sooo right dont skip this gem
Yes Don!
Nice find, Don! I think I have to get this one
I like Don’s take on games I just bought the game on Switch after this review, and it’s awesome!
Seriously stuck on Shogun boss. Game rocks!
$5.99au on Nintendo eshop and its got some Double Dragon vibes. Love metal slug so this is a must. Thank you
Playing this game right now and it's such a good game. I love the game's style.
Just bought the game on iOS and so far I’m not disappointed. I went in thinking I could just go in guns blazing and breeze thru the game on normal. I was humbled so quickly🤣
You MUST buy the limited run edition of this masterpiece, I did and didn’t regret it at all. You can find one on EBay around 130 dollars but it worth buying.
I picked this up on Epic awhile ago and I fell in LOVE, so much love in fact that I bought a VGA to Component converter to play it on my 9" CRT for that full Retro Cyberpunk experience. This game is almost PERFECT at 4:3.
I am about to buy this masterpiece!
I remember watching the trailer even before Don brought it for the Hall of greats and thinking: This game looks SO SO good!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picked this up for $3.99 last night, it's really fun!
SOLD!! Downloading tonight!
I knew this game was good from it's start screen. It's every sci-fi 80s film rolled into one and it's soundtrack doesn't disappoint in that regard.
I recommend doing a Don't Skip on The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa.
Had more fun with this game than Cyberpunk 2077

Damm!! I really want to play this but I have already committed myself to 3 new games this month, most notably "13 sentinels: Aegis Rim" (can't wait for 9/22)... But "Huntdown" looks like a lot of love and attention went into its design, and overall it looks like my kind of game... (who doesn't love bad-ass side scrollers)... Next month for sure Don... (I love "don't skip" - Keep em' coming boys!)

It's only $20. But you're waiting for a sale? These are indie devs and this game isn't getting much attention, I'm sure they would appreciate any support you could give them. $20 is a steal for this game.
No one ever mentions the Last Dragon inspiration of the final boss.
Now if just once it was mentioned which platforms this was available on, it would be a great review.
I like the game too
Don!
It's like you're playing a living breathing world in sprite form👍
"THE HORRORS! Oh the horrors..."
intro reminded me of the NARC arcade game.
Trying to find more games like this action base 2d platformer games like huntdown, katana zero,metal slug, if there are more fun games like these i need to know
Technology and cyberpunk. You got your peanut butter in my peanut butter. Talk about easy allies. Anyone who likes this should maybe look at Katana Zero or Ion Fury. If you like old school adventure games (seems like a very different thing) maybe technobabylon or gemini rue.
Don't worry Don, I won't be.
People. Seriously. DON'T SKIP THIS GAME!
Still waiting for physical release
This game is Bomb..I know because I've played it.. Have you played it in Coop?

plethora...I don't there's a word I hate more
Critique: needs less discussion of game atmosphere, more focus on combat mechanics, weapons & abilities, upgrade systems...
Is this genuinely the best mic Don could use for this? Surely there is one he could use from the studio, he doesn't have to come into contact with anyone else picking up a mic. It reflects kind of badly on the overall channel in my opinion. The video was very well made otherwise though, Don has a way with words.
