Hotline Miami - Brutal Top Down action ( INDIE )

[Clav]

I'm still undecided whether to get the game or not but I bought the soundtrack though which is awesome.

The soundtrack is already in the game directory, literally sitting there as individual ogg files.

Just finished this and I enjoyed it actually, didnt really care much for the story so skipped through most of it and got straight into the fighting.

Its fairly short but you can go back and replay the chapters you completed with different masks and weapons so there is a bit of replayability in there.

I eventually bought this last night and certainly don't regret it. Incredibly fun and rewarding. It's difficult but fair although the AI behaviour is sometimes a bit unpredictable when reacting to sound.

The dev's are super cool, they left a comment on pirate pay asking them to update the cracked torrent when the new patch is out, and if they still liked it, asked them to buy it. Quite a cool new take on piracy. Will it help sales? i dont know...

This game burns my eyes!

The soundtrack reminds me of the film "Drive".

 

[FerretBoy]

Awesome game.

 

[Bleek]

Do you guys play it windowed or full screen?

 

[FerretBoy]

Played full screen with the sound turned up.

Sadly this seems to like hard locking my computer..otherwise I'd be playing it more.

I'd love to know about any games similar to this.

 

[krooton]

Not my kind of game, but holy hell is that one great soundtrack!

I just have to bump this thread to say that I picked this up last week and I absolutely love it! Incredibly difficult, a great and totally insane story(kind of), one of the best soundtracks ever, and as someone else in this thread says, it has a great 'one more try' aspect to it that makes it totally addictive.

I would highly recommend this game, it is probably my favourite indie game ever!

Can't wait for the sequel, which was recently announced

Retro city rampage?

A "little" like this, very little mind!

 

[Semiskimmed]

Lol yeah that was the one. After playing retro city and this now, ill agree theyre a lot different but both still worth owning.
