Maybe, Hotline Miami is much more diffcult than other games I´ve talked about, more difficult than Shovel Knight, Risk Of Rain and even more difficult than The binding of Isaac. Hotline Miami is (surprise) an indie game developed by "Devolver" studies, a little company, famous for making games like these, the theme of the game is violence and the fact that we enjoy it. And that´s an inmobable fact, everyone enjoy violence more or less, depending on the person we are talking about.
In the game we´re Jacket, but actually these character hasn´t a name, he even hasn´t any dialogue in the entire game. We will wake up in our house, then we must go to the telephon, so we should discover a message, which was left by someone we don´t know, this message, using a code will ask we to go to a specific location, at a specific time in order to murder (brutaly I should add) everyone in the building.
Supously they pay you after you realise the mission sucessfully, but It isn´t sure, becouse they never say It to you. So actually no one forces you to kill, you simply do it becouse is fun. The gameplay of the game is like I show you in the photo upwards, you see the map like these.
The most particular feature of these game is that our sprite dies with a SINGLE hit, so the enemies do,as a result you have almost exactly the same physical features as the enemies, you are as weak, slow and fragile as them, the unique advantage that you have is your vision (you see them, but they don´t see you) and your "intelligence".
Other original thing of the game is Its masks. At the begining of the level, we will choose one rubber animal mask to wear, every mask will change our playstyle, allowing us to survive one bullet, kill more quickly, look further... some masks are hidden in the levels, the other will be the rewards after passing a level.
Here´s an example of a good player, but I advice you, you won´t be as tricky as he is. The game is based in dying a lot, before being sucessful, that´s why the restarting is soooo quick, you just have to press "R" to try again. The soundtrack is absolutly perfect with the game it goes, It is composed of songs with 80´s rythims, electronic music mainly, that seems to abosrb you into a rampage of death and madness. A significative detail is that the music stops when we kill the last enemy, so that we exit from the madness I´ve metion before and, what we will see? The rooms covered by corpses, that´s a way for saying that you killed all thse people and you have enjoyed it!
In conclusion, Hotline Miami is one of the most enjoyable games I´ve ever played, It´s difficult, and may be frustating, but only becouse of its mechanics it´s worth playing it. Hotline Miami has a second part: Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number a sequel that is even more difficult than the original one, and it´s way longer.
That´s all!
