Amazingly fun well-designed game. With built-in controller support right out of the box. Played it with my razer kishi and it worked extremely well right out of the box. The default mapping for the face buttons was a little weird. But they can be remapped in the settings so not a huge deal. I've also read that it supports Bluetooth controllers but I haven't personally tested it yet. Gameplay is extremely fun and very well designed.

This game scratches an itch I didn't even know I had. The art is fantastic. It captures the futuristic dystopian theme perfectly. The gameplay is 2D side scrolling shooting and it is a lot of fun. Most of the time you are just shooting bad guys. But there is a little bit of strategy to each level and you get some fun weapon variety. The controls work as well as mobile controls can work. Keep making games like this and I will keep buying them.

This game is HARD, even on normal difficulty. And that's a good thing, though my thirtieth attempt at the second boss means I doubt I'll ever actually finish the game. Also the fact that checkpoints don't save between sessions is annoying, so sometimes I can't be bothered starting a session. But the TLC in this game is so obvious I don't regret the purchase at all. This one will stay on my device for a long time.

I am getting this problem after installing: Access blocked: Huntdown has not completed the Google verification process What is the solution?

One of my favourite games to replay on our switch but since becoming a father don't have the time so it's nice to have on Android to play for a minute or two here and there, I wish the developer would release more content for the game, a new playable character and Level would be amazing. Android port is great, only downside is phone controls which can't be helped, it's not so bad for veterans of the game.

Stunning game, in every way. The tactical feature of hiding in shadows or behind blocks adds so much and the boss battles are epic. Love all the knowing nods to the 80s/90s, this game is probably the best thing I've played on android. Only glitch for me is the way the screen moves when the character jumps up. It's too slow and this is a problem on later levels, especially the final battle with Shogun where he is off screen half the time which is a nightmare. Other than that, se-e-e-ensational!

Played the demo, then bought the game. I have had some trouble trying to get the full game on my new phone, but that's not the devs fault. If you love old megadrive side scrolling shooters - with some difficulty, then this is absolutely for you!!! Beautiful presentation too. Rammed full of countless neat little touches. Cannot recommended highly enough. Simply fantastic game. Just one thing - can we have a sequel or 2?!?!

How do I give more than 5 stars? This game is insanely good, and feels like the best of an old-school arcade game somehow maximized for today's powerful cell phones - especially the widescreen! Playing it with a controller mapped the way I want, it immediately feels like an old favorite. I bought the full version just minutes into playing. This is one I'll go back to over and over - great, simple, visceral action! Amazing 64bit-style graphics!

The controls take a bit of getting used to, but are so responsive and clean that it's worth the learning curve. If you attached the game to a controller, you'd think it was a well made game from the time of snes or Sega Genesis. It's challenging too, keeps you thinking on your feet. A truly rare find, and well worth the 5 dollars for the full version. If you like Run and Gun gaming, pick up the full version for 5 dollars. You won't regret it.

The game is amazing, let me say. It's incredibly fun hunting the bad guys. Game is a side scrolling shoot em up; you play through a level of peeons to emerge at the boss battle who is a thug that you're after. Very well done, crisp controls. I had to go with 4 stars because though the game works with my MOGA X5, the buttons are incorrect in the game with what I'm pressing on the controller and the button configuration menu doesn't really tell you much like how to use grenades and a shotgun.
