Duck Hunt (2018)

Duck Hunt (2018), also known as Duck Hunt '18, is a reboot to the classic NES game, Duck Hunt, and the second game in the Duck Hunt series. Duck Hunt '18 is a completely different game, where you play as the Dog and Duck duo on a quest to stop the Wild Gunmen from getting them and harnessing the duo's special ability to slow down time and fire shots from beyond the screen. It is considered a third person shooter and is comparable to games such as Superhot.
== Gameplay ==
The Gameplay revolves around controlling the Dog and Duck (named Duck Hunt) while shooting enemies in your way with the NES Zapper Light Gun's reticle. The reticle can be controlled with either the c-stick or Gyro, and hovering over an opponent and pressing ZR will allow you to shoot enemies beyond the screen. Duck Hunt possesses the unique ability to slow down time, similar to BOTW's "Flurry Rush" effect. Pressing ZL will allow you to slow down time to a near halt, allowing you to shoot at enemies faster than they can react- however, slowing down time is part of a "meter" that will slowly refill after being used, so you can't overuse it. Also, Duck Hunt itself becomes tired when you use it too often, resulting in slower movements.
The Dog and its Duck companion are controlled with the left stick, and have many basic movement options. They can run, jump and even fly for a little. The Dog is capable of a short ranged melee attack, as well as the duck being able to peck at opponents.
The player can be hit 3 times before Duck Hunt is defeated, however there are many, MANY gunmen firing at you in a single stage so stages will remain challenging but fair.
== Characters ==
Character 	Description
Duck Hunt 	The Dog and the hunter, two parts to the trio, had a change of heart after meeting ol' duck here. Now, they're an inseparable trio! The trio (Dog, Duck and YOU) have the strange ability to slow down time temporarily- however, without the dog, this feat strangely cannot be possible. The Duck allows the dog (who you control mainly) to gain vertical distance, as well as reach high up gates and levers that would otherwise not be accessible. You are the hunter, behind the "NES Zapper", and you can use your Zapper to Zap enemies before they fire at you!
The Wildest Gunman	The leader of the Wild Gunmen, the Wildest Gunman is an over the top Cowboy villain who is the main boss of the story. The Wildest Gunman's antics are strange, and he seems to be sending out his Cowboys to not kill Duck Hunt, but instead capture them by stunning them with their Sleep Darts to find a way to harness his strange ability for time stopping. They also just want to cause mayhem around the globe which won't stop until they're defeated, which is where you come in!
==Enemies==
Every enemy is a kind of Wild Gunmen, however there are multiple themes and versions of them. 
Enemy 	Description
Standard Gunman 	He's standard and common. Sporting a black beard and angry grimace, he doesn't fire very quickly or slowly, and he's defeated in one hit, but sometimes you may find yourself a little overwhelmed.
Summer Standard 	A standard gunman dressed up for the beachy levels. Wearing a snorkel mask, water wings, a ducky inner tube and swimming shorts, he is mostly the same as a Standard Gunman. However, firing at his inner tube, water wings or snorkel will pop/crack them, requiring you to fire again.
Snowball Standard	A standard gunman dressed up for the colder levels. He is wearing a thick coat and an unnecessary amount of scarfs. He takes 2 hits to defeat, but is otherwise a standard gunman.
 
==Levels==
Each World consists of 15 different challenges, which are short levels where you must complete a certain task-
*Showdown- Defeat all Gunmen in the area.
*Goal- Reach a goal.
*Defend- Defend a point from enemies.
*Quickshot- Stand still and shoot a number of Wild Pigeons out of the sky.
*Boss- Defeat a boss.
There are a whopping 8 worlds in the game, which adds up to 120 different stages to conquer. Each stage has different cover and landscape, so your strategy will change depending on the stage you're on.
===Stage Maker===
After you beat the game, you can make and browse community stages through a Stage Creator mode, where you can edit terrain and add obstacles and enemies to a map for others to challenge and beat.
