Should you play it?

Corporations turned crime-infested streets into profit margins for bounty hunters and John Sawyer is going to make a killing. Hunt, die, upgrade, repeat in this explosive roguelite prequel where every strategic upgrade strips away more flesh and builds a cybernetic fighter one chrome limb at a time.

What works
  • Tight and satisfying combat
  • Stylish pixel art and lighting
  • Engaging roguelike progression
  • Diverse weapons and upgrades
  • Strong 80s cyberpunk atmosphere
Things to keep in mind
  • Lack of save/checkpoint system
  • Limited content and level variety in early access
  • Some weapon and difficulty balance issues
  • No co-op or social features
  • Repetitive level design and grind

How to use the graph
Similarity map

Each dot is a game. They are arranged from the same motivation profile as in the “Why this game works” section below. Closer dots usually mean more similar reasons to play (exploration, competition, relaxation, etc.)—not that one game is “better” than another.

  • Purple star: this page’s game — everything on the map is relative to it.
  • Coloured chips: click to highlight games that mainly differ on that motivation; click again to reset.
  • Dotted line: link between this page’s game and the one selected for comparison.
  • Hover a dot for a screenshot preview, score, and top score gaps; click to compare in the panel on the right.
  • Scroll or double-click the chart to zoom out and see more games.

Why don’t the axes read like a score? This view uses t-SNE: it only keeps who is close to whom. The scales are not “good to bad” or hours played—they separate groups on the map. Read distance between dots, not the axis numbers (hidden on purpose).

HUNTDOWN: OVERTIME: A very typical example of its motivational profile. Motivations that often define this kind of title include Fellowship, Violence, Cooperation, Survival. Here, the score leans higher than usual among comparable games on Violence. It leans lower than usual among comparable games on Relaxation, Expression.
