Reviews for Hunters - Stage 2

broken idea

ya i can overlook the crappy flash art, but the whole control scheme is just dumb. why would I ever want to have to MOVE backwards when I have to AIM behind me in a SIDESCROLLER.... Jumping does nothing to avoid shots, you have to repeatedly tap left and right to be able to shoot backwards without getting sucked to the left side of the screen where all I can see is bullets hitting me... im sorry i wish i could be nicer but this feels like something that was made like 10 years ago. too unrefined to suffer more than 5 minutes of. I probably only saw a fraction of the game, but it was unredeemable.

Just no

If this was an attempt at recreating a nes or snes game then you have failed quite miserably. Snes and nes games were the classic retro pixelated fun that we still adore today. This was poorly textured vector graphics with a complete lack of proportion or any realistic anatomy. Couple this with the terrible voice acting which made me want to tear out my hair and the weak trance music; this has failed. It could have been brilliant but you lacked any originality and the game mechanics themselves made it notoriously difficult to actually play the game well. As someone earlier mentioned you've linked the arrow keys to both movement and aiming when you could have easily linked the aiming to the mouse allowing smoother and more precise shots.

So all in all, the graphics were poor, the voice was poor, the music was poor, the mechanics were poor and the idea was poor. Try harder before uploading a game to Newgrounds and get the opinion of a third party before releasing it to the rest of the flash portal.

Overall Bad.

GRAPHICS: The Graphics were the best thing about it,not saying that they were good as they were very... blocky when looked at closer with somethings were also unrealistic anatomy wise. 3/10
SOUND:The music was a bunch of annoying trance music that looped the same few seconds OVER AND OVER AGAIN.The voice acting was generic and painful to listen to. 2/10
GAMEPLAY: The gameplay was extremely frustrating due to the clumsy controls and bad aiming.An improvement would be to have a gunstar heroes mechanic which let you aim without moving i.e: Press k to stand still to aim. 2/10
ORIGINALITY: This game: WAT R ORIGNALTY??? 1/10
Overall: 3/10

I hate having to criticse this game, but...

After the well-balanced first game, this one seems nigh-impossible, although I'll admit that due to a lack of player ability that might just be the case of a poor player; it's either too difficult to avoid enemy projectiles or the movement is too slow. What I would recommend is an overhaul of the game speed and controls - maybe mouse as well as keyboard control would work better? - because it gets in the way of enjoying the game you've obviously put a lot of work into.
