Community Insight:
We dont think we have seen this quality every before. No microtransactions so far.
Do not miss your opportunity to join the bounty hunters on their hunt ! This is the best game Ive play in a very very long time. We are so impressed with the game play and also the graphics ! Thank yall for creating this amazing game.
We were hunting for a classic arcade-style game with a cyberpunk vibe, and this nailed it perfectly. Its exactly what we wanted. Highly recommend anyone grabbing it.
Estaria muy bueno continuar la istoria.
We were really enjoying this Then we came home from work one day and noticed our wife has been playing it. She plays more than us. Thats how you know its a blast.
We wish we knew where to find more quality games like this! We dont mind paying if its worth it. Games like this need more advertising. Spread the word.
Side scroller on mobile. Period.
Perfect controls, impeccable sound design and flawless gameplay loop with easily identifiable visual and audio queues from enemies.
Ive had this game for over a year now and every now and then we come back and fall in love again. Only one thing to top it off would be to play co-op online with others. We have played co-op multiplayer on same screen and it is fun but we live a busy life and its hard to play as far as on local aspect but even if there was competition between your last time trial runs or points generated. But it is definitely a fun game.
Best game ever but we need co op for mobile.
Please add dlcs and/or a sequel.
Absolutely phenomenal game. Our only complaint is that it ended too soon, we CRAVE more. Loved the characters and story, the music was a blast. Ive nothing but praise for this game. We cant stop replaying it. We really hope a sequels being cooked up.
Best modern retro side scrolling shooter ever,,,,!,,,,.
THIS IS GIVING ME MY NINTENDO 8-BIT FIX!!! GREAT JOB.
Great graphics, music, voice acting, and game play.
What an incredible game this is genius we need more games like this of this caliber on iOS to prove that this mobile device could be the new frontier for video games we are currently playing this with an HDMI connector to our TV with our PlayStation five.
Need to come out with a part two.
This game is unbelievably awesome! Im a 90s kid and this has us in nostalgic mode. If you loved side scrolling shooters, then this is the gem for you. Great gameplay, outstanding graphics, and a killer synth wave soundtrack. Honestly, its worth the $6.99. No regrets. Do not think twice about it! BUY THIS GAME.
This is hands down the top game of the year for us. Everything about it oozes 90s action shooter with the best little Easter eggs hidden throughout the artwork, voice acting and even the background music. The artwork is amazing and to top it off the gameplay is top notch for being easy to grok and not overly complicated. So happy the studio didnt put micro transactions in this game which usually detracts from the story IMO. Ive never heard of the studio, but now will be looking forward to the next release. Good job guys.
Were on the Huntdown After You.
Nailed it truly awesome,this is our first time ever leaving a review for a mobile game.
Spot on 80s-wave pixel classic. Great level design and gameplay, soundtrack everything. Buy it.
We dont have a console, nor a computer, we only have an iPad and IPhone, the App Store doesnt have games that we would like to play, most games atmosphere are inspired by cartoons anime that we dont tend to like, this one is inspired by anime we do like or maybe is just a coincidence because most cyberpunk stories tend to have the same vibe. We really like this game, we thought it was going to be a generic run and gun with most of the focus being on the graphics and gameplay being the developers main focus, but this game has more depth than game like contra or metal slug.
We love the details, graphics, music and sound effects. They really nailed the genre. Gameplay is clunky on mobile but its still worth it.
This game is what everyone imagined the perfect Genesis game should have been! Bravo! Five stars.
Buying this was probably one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Its crazy how underrated this game is, the bounties and boss fights are awesome, all the gangs all lit. We think this may be our favorite game ever. The ending was cool too. 10/10 game.
Everything in this game is amazing and the controls are so comfortable.
The gameplay, characters, bosses, visuals, music, dialogues and humor are among the best Ive seen in a game for a long time. We already finished the game multiple times and keep coming back to play it again. Im really looking forward to a sequel its such a fun game to play.
Amazing game with great retro graphics. Well done.
What a great game. It's obvious lots of care went into this side-scrolling, 80's Sci-Fi shooter. Great aesthetics and pixel graphics. Great music. Where can we get this for pc? Please clue us in. We hope a version or port shows up on PC and elsewhere. We are waiting patiently for your next game Coffee Stain, whoever and wherever you dev's are. Please keep up the really great work.
This game is very fun with serval hidden gems and a homage to retro games and culture. Definitely best with a controller but the screen controls work well. Enjoy this one.
This is a special game, oh how it reminds us of the good old days. We can find no flaws in the game.
When it comes down to 2d platform games theres only but so much you can do but the devs of this game really put a lot of thought into this masterpiece you have to play it in order to know what Im talking about !! Other devs need to take notes.
UmmmWhat???? This game is incredible. Easily our favorite mobile game. Feels like a mix between the warriors and escape from New York. Truly a masterpiece. Well done yall.
Very polished, challenging. Excellent retro style.
One of the best games Ive ever played.
We rarely write reviews, but the developers really need to hear how great this game turned out. This game is superior to all other mobile platformers by a good order of magnitude and we hope we see more from them soon.
This game is awesome. Plays well on the iPad even given the a Fast pace. Great game.
The Soundtrack, Characters, gameplay are all outstanding this is a must buy.
A game full of 80s retro vibe music, futuristic cyberpunk style thriller. This game is something else. We cant completely explain it. But we love every bit of it. Im 30. Born in 91. That can explain why we love this game so much. This is the first game we bought in phone with real money. Money worth spent. Im so happy to find such a game like this. Hats off to the developer. You have our 5 stars review. Hope youll add more DLC story missions in future.
Some bosses are cheap but this game is one of a kind.
The game quality is very high. Love everything of the game, only except the difficulty.
Fun but very difficult and some bosses too cheap.
Did we mention absolute CRAP CONTROLS? Fail. Do better.
Why does, The price of the game say $6.99. But you Charged us $10.43,? .. Even with tax it wouldnt be that much. $10.43, is the after tax, price of a $9.99, purchase. So if you charge, $9.99, for the game you might want to update your game add. Also we should get a refund for at least $3. The hidden not advertised Charged.
Dude your bosses are too hard we put on easy but its not easy its too hardNext time make easy bosses.
It feels like a retro game but still seems to have that modern touch especially when pairing the game with a controller.
