About this game
Take on criminal gangs as a bounty hunter in a futuristic city. Run and jump through hostile territory, fire on enemies and use cover as you advance. The opposition has an arsenal you can take for yourself, so fighting involves both moving through the streets and putting recovered weapons to use. Different gangs and their bosses occupy their own turf, making the hunt a confrontation with the city's criminal factions. You can tackle them alone or cooperate locally with another player, using supporting fire while moving forward together. Hand-drawn pixel artwork, neon cityscapes and a synthesizer soundtrack frame the action in an aesthetic inspired by eighties entertainment.

A likely fit for players who want run-and-gun action with cover decisions and a local partner.
Combining movement with cover can make advancing a matter of choosing when to expose yourself, rather than simply maintaining fire. Local cooperation adds the possibility of supporting another hunter while both push into enemy territory.
Strengths
- Taking enemy weapons can give each confrontation an immediate practical reward.
- Supporting fire offers cooperative players a concrete way to coordinate their advance.
Who it is for: Players interested in armed movement, cover and shared-screen cooperation, especially those drawn to pixel-art crime fiction.
