BHunter is an action game for Windows released in 1999, developed by InterActive Vision and published by Midas Interactive Entertainment. It combines futuristic combat, high-speed chases, and exploration within a 3D city dominated by towering skyscrapers, where the player takes on the role of a criminal hunter piloting a flying vehicle.
Before starting, players can choose from three flying cars, each serving as a combat platform during missions. Once airborne, the city transforms into a true vertical labyrinth; avenues, elevated structures, and endless building facades create an environment where navigation requires constant spatial awareness and attention. The perspective and fully 3D environment aim to convey the sensation of patrolling a futuristic metropolis from high above.

Before starting, players can choose from three flying cars, each serving as a combat platform during missions. Once airborne, the city transforms into a true vertical labyrinth; avenues, elevated structures, and endless building facades create an environment where navigation requires constant spatial awareness and attention. The perspective and fully 3D environment aim to convey the sensation of patrolling a futuristic metropolis from high above.
The primary objective is to locate and eliminate criminals hiding among the buildings. To achieve this, the vehicle starts with basic weaponry—sufficient to handle early threats and allow the player to get a feel for the controls. Combat requires quick maneuvering, keeping the target in your sights, and utilizing open spaces to avoid getting trapped between structures.
Progression relies on a reward system. Successfully taking down a criminal earns credits, enabling the player to advance and access more powerful weaponry as the game unfolds. This gradual progression causes combat to evolve from relatively simple skirmishes into challenges demanding superior resources and greater precision. Players must not only survive but also gather enough rewards to upgrade their vehicle.
With its blend of aerial action and a futuristic urban setting, BHunter offers an experience centered on navigating a 3D city while pursuing hostile targets. The mix of exploration, combat, and arsenal upgrades creates a "patrol-and-hunt" rhythm typical of an era when action games were experimenting with increasingly expansive 3D environments. It is an interesting option for those who enjoy flying vehicles, labyrinthine urban environments, and chase missions with a clear sense of power progression.
