OTXO

criminally underrated game. i've been itching for a Hotline Miami like for a while and this game finally scratched that itch. at this point it has become my comfort game that i can just pick up and play whenever can't say much other than the gunplay feels amazing and fast paced. i've seen some people praised it for its bullet time mechanic, but in my opinion it's much more fun to play without it. imagine frantically busting open a door, gunning down several dudes, snatching a gun that an enemy dropped while its mid-air, and then gunning down the last one all in one go without needing bullet time. it feels so great. the economy encourages you to keep your combo alive which means clearing each floor as fast as you can, rewarding you with more cash to buy more upgrades i have to say, it does get very repetitive, but weirdly, i can't stop coming back to it

It may have taken me nearly 30 hours and at least a hundred attempts, but I finally managed to clear my first run of a roguelike! In a market that's already starting to feel over-saturated, OTXO is one of the better roguelikes out there. The gameplay is simple yet challenging, the upgrades feel like they truly make a difference, and the art style and overall creative direction is stunning. I'd been looking for years for a worthy successor to Hotline Miami, and here it is.

hotline miami with black and white filter. but it actually stands on its own pretty well!

its stupid hard and stupid fun

Addictive

I'm not usually into rougelikes but Otxo is one of the rare exceptions. Beaten the game 3 times and I still come back to it. Very hard but also incredibly fun. Just remember to play in bursts and take breaks so it dosen't become too repetative.

Distilled high-energy fun! Games journalists will hate it.

TRULY GOAT

its fun for a bit, scratches the hotline miami itch but got repetitive fast. its cheap tho so go for it
