Get ready for a thrilling adventure with Huntdown: Overtime, an upcoming pixel-art roguelike that's sure to leave you on the edge of your seat! This highly anticipated prequel to Huntdown is set to take us back to the gritty streets of New Detroit in the year 2084. Prepare to step into the cybernetic boots of rogue cop John Sawyer, as he embarks on a mission to rid the city of its scumbag inhabitants.
But here's where it gets interesting: unlike the original game, which offered three playable characters, Overtime focuses solely on John Sawyer's journey. This bold decision by the developers at Easy Trigger Games might just be the key to an immersive roguelike experience.
Imagine navigating the dangerous streets of New Detroit, taking down goons and facing off against exaggerated '80s-style bosses. It's a unique twist on the roguelike genre, and we can't wait to see how it plays out!
Check out the reveal trailer above and feast your eyes on the first screenshots in the gallery below. If you're eager to get your hands on this pixelated masterpiece, wishlist it on Steam and keep an eye out for its release in Steam Early Access during Q2 2026.
And this is the part most people miss: Huntdown: Overtime is being developed by the same talented folks who brought us the original Hundown, with Coffee Stain Publishing taking on the publishing duties.
