VGChartz's Evan Norris: "For the sake of posterity, it's great that City Hunter is now available on modern platforms in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, 36 years after it premiered in Japan. It's also great that Red Art Games has elevated the experience by adding two new modes, while also preserving the original version. The only issue is that the game, no matter the version, is too brief, disorienting, and repetitive to truly enjoy. Still, it's an interesting artifact from the PC Engine days."
City Hunter is a game that’s easy to recommend if early 90s games and anime are an intersection that is headed towards our tastes.
Asura from NoobFeed writes: City Hunter is neither a new game nor a perfect game. But it's a good attempt to keep it alive, letting new people enjoy a unique piece of PC Engine and anime history. Fans of the series will enjoy spending time with characters they know, and retro gamers will enjoy a good-looking action-adventure game with some light puzzles and fun fighting. The game is short, easy to understand, and a great example of how to create a PC Engine game in the late 1990s.
