This game is currently in the Humble Choice for January 2024, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before February 6th, 2024, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
A mad shoot-out of black and white, and red all over.
Otxo and I’m trying to go by how the developer pronounced it, takes the fast-paced combat of Hotline Miami, gives the enemies bigger guns, and larger areas, and then creates a rogue-lite where players are forced to travel through 40 rooms of a mansion to save someone close to them. There’s not a lot of plot or story, but there’s a ton of action and combat, which is the driving force of Otxo.
I don’t like this title, but I also am going to say I think it’s mostly because it’s such a fast and twitchy shooter. The combat seems over the top but the entire time I just wanted a second to make each decision. There is a focus mode but I needed more than that. Mostly I found myself flailing around against enemies. The only way I was able to find success was to line up shots to kill multiple enemies as I kicked doors open, and maybe that is the way it’s intended but it never felt natural to me.
Pick this up if you loved Hotline Miami but wanted more guns, faster gameplay, and a rogue-lite rather than a story-based game. I’ll be honest, I’m probably too old for this game and my reaction times have dried up, but since I never was as enamored with Hotline Miami’s gameplay, I’m not surprised I didn’t enjoy this one either.
