Stain Publishing and Easy Trigger Games are pumped to reveal that Huntdown, the
80s inspired bounty hunting pixel art action comedy shooter will be coming to
screens near you on May 12th. The 16-bit platformer will launch on PS4, Xbox
One, Switch and PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store, and offers partners in
cleansing crime the option to hunt in pairs with local co-op, or go lone wolf in
the mean streets of mayhem. Set in a bleak dystopian future where sadistic gangs
rule and cops fear to tread, only three legendary bounty hunters have the
arsenal and killer instincts to take back the city from the corrupt fist of
felony.
Inspired by the action movies and pop culture of the 80s with a gritty, violent
twist, Huntdown is an old school arcade side scroller for the modern bounty
hunter. The slick platformer features hand painted 16-bit pixel art graphics and
hand-drawn animations, combined with fluid action-packed 60-FPS gameplay and an
epic 80s soundtrack pumping dark wave, industrial synth, hard rock and electro
through 20 unique levels.
Key Features:
- Two player local co-op
- Three legendary bounty hunters to play as:
- Anna Conda: Ex-commando and firearms expert. A loose-cannon trained
to assassinate without question or mercy.
- John Sawyer: Special forces cop who left the law behind. This
scarred veteran has lost so many limbs in combat he’s half robot.
- Mow Man: Modified recon droid, stolen and empowered with banned
software. Trades bodies for cold hard cash.
- 20 levels: Gritty, neon soaked, graffiti strewn 80s cityscapes to
cleanse, each with their own infamous gang boss to terminate and bounty to
collect.
- Unique gangs to target:
- Hoodlum Dolls: Violent feral punks winning the gang war with the
toothless authorities
- Misconducts: Organised hockey hooligans, experts in robbery and
extortion with a penchant for explosives

villains style themselves on the centurions of Ancient Rome
- NO.1 Suspects: Masters of discipline and organised crime. Martial
arts experts, these slick psychopaths control the night through their
casinos and nightclubs
- Choose your weapon: Confiscate machine guns, laser weapons,
katanas, grenades and more, and turn them on their owners. Stab, shoot and
explode your way through swathes of gangs and bosses and collect your
bounty.
