In this cyberpunk prequel, you play bounty hunter John Sawyer, taking corporate-backed jobs to fight gangs across city streets and other hostile territory.
Move through side-scrolling stages, battling enemies with firearms, melee weapons and tactical gear. Take cover, choose routes, and hunt or capture bounty targets while facing gang leaders and bosses.
Each run offers weapons and upgrades to collect along the way. After death, return to the operating table to unlock permanent cybernetic enhancements and other improvements before setting out again.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its responsive run-and-gun combat, detailed pixel art and lighting, energetic soundtrack, weapon selection and boss fights. Some find the roguelite loop compelling, while others say repeating stages after a death becomes tedious; reviews also differ on difficulty, upgrade usefulness and weapon balance. Several note that the available content is limited.
The world’s gone to hell, gangs run wild, and one bounty hunter keeps coming back. Hunt, die, upgrade, repeat in this explosive roguelite prequel to Huntdown where John Sawyer forges himself into a cybernetic legend.
Fast, violent run-and-gun action ripped straight from VHS-era blockbusters. Tight controls meet brutal firefights in a roguelite loop designed for pure adrenaline. Collect bounties and survive as long as you can. When you finally go down, Tony drags you back to his operating table and rebuilds you stronger.
Every run pushes you deeper into dangerous gang turf - from neon-soaked city streets to desolate wastelands. Choose your path, lock in on your targets, and adapt on the fly. Each death teaches you the patterns, each resurrection makes you deadlier. This is John Sawyer’s origin story: the transformation from man to cybernetic legend.
Crank up the heat with a powerful arsenal of firearms, melee weapons and tactical gear. And if heat isn’t your thing, go for a cryomod and let an electric baton do the rest.
Discover cybernetic upgrades and weapon licenses buried in enemy territory. Make your upgrades permanent by unlocking them between runs and reshape how Sawyer fights. Reinforced limbs and experimental combat mods - hundreds of combinations to forge Sawyer into the killing machine that fits your style.
Each run offers fresh opportunities. Bank your earnings, invest in permanent enhancements, then jump back in with new capabilities. Adapt your approach: go loud with heavy firepower or slice through with bladed brutality. The city’s scum won’t know what hit them.
Meticulous pixel art meets modern lighting in a stunning collision of retro craft and contemporary technique. This is pure early-80s B-movie aesthetics - bold reds on deep black and explosive contrasts. No pretty neon nostalgia, just VHS-era swagger.
