It certainly checks all the right boxes: gorgeous pixel art, a deft mix of synth and '80s electric guitars that embellishes the soundtrack, and a whole lot of guns to shoot while running full blast in beautiful 2D environments. I was expecting Huntdown to follow a similar approach, at least from trailers alone. Blazing Chrome proved it was possible to iterate just enough on the Contra formula to bring back some of the genre's former glory, and there are many other examples out there, each offering their own new ideas and quality of life changes.

I didn't expect for a Johnny Cash song to get paraphrased in Huntdown, but it's only one of many throwback references present in the game. 'I went down, down, down, and the flames went higher.' sings John Sawyer as he incinerates enemies with a flamethrower.
