LoreGenery rated Deathblossom

LoreGenery rated a game 1 year ago
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux.

This game rules.

Obviously, the short of it.
Ever thought to yourself: What if Hotline Miami, but really short, with a Coyote protag, and 1 gun.
If you've ever wanted something like that then this is exactly the game for you.

Now, the slightly longer of it.
While reminiscent of Hotline there's plenty of differences, 1stly the atheistic, Western. Desert look to things, lots of browns, yellows, greens, and possibly red for some blood on the sand too.
Naturally since everyone is un-dead, they take on Animal aspects too.
Provides a unique look to the enemies for easy identification before you enter a room, or just as you enter.
Feels very satisfying to plan out your approach through repeated deaths (smiles), becoming more deadly with each new life.
That said, I'd argue you can be a bit too powerful in someways, the difficulty in later stages due to a combination of bad planning and getting caught out by enemies approaching you.
On AI though, it's rather simplistic, either pursuing you to the ends of the earth, or having a spot they like to return to.
This can be exploited rather handily as they like to bunch up a lot.
If you get a train of melee fellas after you, you can trick their friends to shoot them in the back, a kind of hilarious outcome in some of the more chaotic fights.
Final boss was almost impossible, BUT that was because I forgot about the thing that makes this game enormously fun: SLOW MO.
At will you can press a button to initiate Slow Mo, very fun to line up shots with it, good for weaving in between bullets, It's great.

Anyway, I've gone on for long enough.
If you like a bit of Rootin' (heh) and shooting with a 6-shooter, this one gets an easy recommendation.
Especially since it's FREE too.

Giving it 5 to hopefully bump it up  the ranks a bit.
