Hotline Miami is a 2D top-down action
game developed
by Dennaton
Games. This game combines extreme violence and surreal
storytelling, with sick soundtrack and visuals influenced by 80s.
You play as an unnamed character. At the beginning of
each chapter in game, he wakes up in his apartment and listens to messages that were left on his answering machine. These messages tell him to perform a task in a certain
location, which is to kill every
person at that location.
Before every mission,
you will have to select an animal mask to wear eg. Chicken, pig, horse etc.. Each mask has special power or limits. The objectives of the game are very
straightforward ---
to kill every opponent. Sometime you also have to kill the boss at the end of the chapter or find key items.
This game reminds me a
lot of the first two games in the GTA series, maybe it’s because of the
top-down prospective. In this game, you can access to a wide range of weapons, all the way from frying pan to
sub-machine gun. Also your character is not much stronger than the opponents in this game, hence you wouldn't be dominating the game. Instead, you’ll
have to come up with a strategy, and plan your route well. This is one of the reasons
why I like this. The other reason is of course the soundtrack!!
