Hotline Miami is a high-octane action game overflowing with raw brutality, hard-boiled gunplay and skull crushing close combat. Set in an alternative 1989 Miami, you will assume the role of a mysterious antihero on a murderous rampage against the shady underworld at the behest of voices on your answering machine. Soon you'll find yourself struggling to get a grip of what is going on and why you are prone to these acts of violence.
Rely on your wits to choreograph your way through seemingly impossible situations as you constantly find yourself outnumbered by vicious enemies. The action is unrelenting and every shot is deadly so each move must be quick and decisive if you hope to survive and unveil the sinister forces driving the bloodshed. Hotline Miami’s unmistakable visual style, a driving soundtrack, and a surreal chain of events will have you question your own thirst for blood while pushing you to the limits with a brutally unforgiving challenge. Some tactical thinking required, if you don't want to die--often.
A surreal and gritty storyline panned out over 20 ultra-violent multi-level maps.
Breakneck gunplay in bloodstained neon corridors combined with an intense, pumping soundtrack.
Gut-wrenching battles against a bizarre cast of bosses from Miami’s underground.
Wield 35 different weapons - from shotguns and assault rifles to katanas and lead pipes - everything is at your disposal.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I had to rebuy it on Steam because i couldn't launch the game. It always says that there's a missing file "AL32" or something like this. I didn't buy it at an expensive cost, but still i like when my games work when i buy them.
It's ugly, it's badly executed, it's unfair. The story (?) is ridiculous. "Music" is repetitive and annoying. It is not hard in a good way, it's hard because its implementation is crap. Movement is crap. Targeting is crap, Enemy behavior is crap. Hitting somebody or getting hit is merely luck. you can shoot three times with a pump gun in a guy's face and he still kills you with bare hands. Enemies suddenly accelerate and are generally faster than you and see you from far beyond the screen.
Well, I still played it a few chapters. Even behind what must be the worst boss fight in gaming history (prank caller). However then it got even worse. Indestructible SWAT guys and instant kills by invisible snipers are exactly the opposite of proper game design. At that point I already decided to stop playing, yet later decided to give it another try since everybody else can't be wrong. Just to learn that this crap excuse for a game let's you respawn right between two indestructible SWAT guys. Respawn -> Dead. Forever.
No sorry, but everybody can be wrong. This would have been a bad game even by standards of the 80s and it's just a bad joke in the 21st century. Playing it is pure pain and why should I waste my precious time with self inflicted pain?
I don't rate this game, because I've hardly played it - it simply crashes after a few minutes of playing and turns off completely (I use new PC with Windows 11 installed). I know it cost just few złotys and this defect may be removed manually, but I'm horrible at computers and when I buy a game I just want to play it wihout having to do anything else. On the plus side, GOG refunded me immediately.
P.S. The same applies to the Steam version.
