Why you should buy Hotline Miami:
- You don’t mind a little challenge,
- You like the 80s aesthetic,
- AAA releases are for casual gamers.
Hotline Miami is one of the best examples of why indie games are worth giving a shot. Just two friends developed this bestselling action-packed top-down shooter inspired by the Drive movie and the Cocaine Cowboys documentary.
Become an antihero, known as the Jacket, who must exterminate members of the Russian mafia that rule the alternative version of Miami in the late 1980s. Even though your enemies outnumber you, you’re not defenseless. Switch between close combat and noisy firearms to clean an area of everyone who’s standing your way. However, you have to react fast and act accurately because your enemies will take advantage of every mistake you make.
Hotline Miami masks
Select one of many animal masks that provides the protagonist with unique abilities. For instance, Rufus (an elephant) allows you to survive a deadly hit, Zack (a frog) grants the ability to perform longer combos, Carl (a locust) starts missions with a drill, and Brandon (a panther) moves faster. Try every mask to see which fits your playstyle best.
