« This, and the first huntdown game are right up there with the metal slug series »👍 anonymous review · 4 h played1« Great roguelike game. Fun soundtrack and progression is fun. »👍 anonymous review · 23 h played1« excellent jeux !!!! Il faudrait ajouter les succès, et aussi un mode co op en ligne. Rallonger également la durée de vie avec des modes de jeux ou plus de niveaux dans l'histoire principale. »👍 anonymous review · 15 h played« Incroyable. Huntdown était cool mais alors la ce petit spin off à un petit gout de reviens y. Mais du coup on tue ou on capture les primes ? :) »👍 anonymous review · 30 h played« Perfect gameplay. Many great ideas (that I cannot describe without spoiling the game). Compared to the first Huntdown, other levels than purely urban places can be played. The atmosphere of these environments is very nice. »👍 anonymous review · 22 h played« Jeux bien réaliser, les cartes se recomposent à chaque partie ça évite de se lasser. Les habilitées sont sympas et bien penser. On pourrait rajouter les antagonistes de la série pour finir tous ça, ça serait super ! »👍 anonymous review · 24 h played
« Run right, boss. That's it. Doubt I'll reinstall after this. I was expecting more gun play, more enemies, meaningful upgrades / progression, and a little more care tbh. Seems very rushed and bare bones. »👎 anonymous review · 5 h played1« C'est devennu un roguelike, ce n'est plus un Run & Gun. »👎 anonymous review · 18 h played« Framerate drops every few minutes. leading to frequent adjust by just switching back forth between 20 and 30 fps at final boss fight (six fingers), framerate drops every 5 seconds making impossible to play. »👎 anonymous review · 9 h played« This game is really cool- But i'm tired of games being released unfinished. Just put out a demo, I don't want to pay for something that isn't finished, and wont be for another year. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« All mainframe all implants impossible to advance it is like you become weaker what is the point of the repeat of hard work when you don't gain anything it's too hard »👎 anonymous review · 44 h played« I really love this game !! I thought the oldies graphics look will be a turn off for me but it's really not. Now I just want more ennemies, more weapons, more maps, more everything. »👍 anonymous review · 31 h played
