Hotline Miami impressed loads of topdown, ultraviolent copycats, most of which did not replicate its propulsive motion. Midnight Mercenaries does it higher than most – whereas additionally being a free fangame that mixes that Hotline Miami construction with characters and weaponry from Crew Fortress 2.
Here is a trailer which lays it out:
Midnight Mercenaries actually does hew carefully to Hotline Miami. After a quick tutorial, you wake in your condo and obtain a telephone name providing you with an uncommon job to do. You then bash your manner via a constructing stuffed with violent goons. You possibly can knock them down with doorways, throw your weapon at them, smash home windows to shock them – all that horrible, gory Hotline Miami stuff.
Besides additionally you are the Scout from Crew Fortress 2, wielding his baseball bat. After ending that first stage you will be launched to a home containing the opposite TF2 courses, and the second mission casts you because the Heavy together with his machinegun at your disposal. Each class has a particular transfer and a few limitations; the Heavy will run out of ammo shortly and might’t reload, for instance, however he can throw weapons quicker than different courses.
It is value noting that there are bugs, however I did not encounter something that could not be resolved by immediately restarting one of many brief ranges. You will do this everytime you die, anyway, and I died tons.
