What would be the best way to describe 12 is better than 6 ? Is it "Hotline Miami in a Wild West setting", or is it "Honey, we have Hotline Miami at home" ? Well...

Simply by looking at the screenshots, you can tell the game has style. Black and white, with pints of red for all the blood you'll be spilling, all in a hand-drawn world that looks and feels dusty. Clearly the strongest point of the game.
A heavy focus was also put on the story, and unfortunately that's where things start to go south. A detail at first, but there are so many sentences that don't really sound natural, and so many grammar mistakes that they ended up taking me out of the story completely. Which is when you realize that it's pretty bland and hard to follow, with a lot of boring chit-chat.

Shooting feels pretty good. There's only a handful of weapons, but they're cool and different from each other, and landing shots is satisfying. It's a shame they chose to overcomplicate the controls : Right click to aim, wait a while, left click to shoot... Let go of everything and repeat. For every shot... This makes sense for the bow, but for every gun it just feels obnoxious and takes a big part of the fun away. It also means certain death when multiple enemies are after you.

It may not have a gun or bad intentions, but the camera is one of these enemies. It's floaty and too close to your character, so by trying to see as far ahead as you can, you won't see behind you and this will be the cause of many more deaths.
Add to that the inconsistent stealth mechanics and unreliable bullet counts when switching guns in a fight... Maybe this isn't exactly Hotline Miami that we had at home after all.

Playable, but frustrating in several ways and with a very unfulfilling 3-hour story, the game is hard to recommend.
12 is better than 6, and it's certainly better than the 4 I'll give it today. Cool idea, poor execution.

I got this game purely because it was 0.99$ at the time. I tried it and was hooked, from the moment I started playing I was hooked. This was the first game that I enjoyed enough to 100%. I think that says something. The gun fights are hard, but stealth is always an option.

I really like the setting and the art style is absolutely striking right off the bat. Thematically, this game nailed it. That said, it just doesn't stand up to something like Hotline Miami and the novelty of the visuals wears off when there isn't enough depth to the gameplay to keep me interested past a few hours or so. This one might be worth picking up on a deep sale, but there are far better games out there in the genre.
