Драйвовая стрелялка с замедлением времени в духе Max Payne и Hotline Miami, проходится часа за 2 на одном дыхании, есть русификатор (он работает - всё чётко). Негативные отзывы необоснованы, управление удобное на клаво-мыши, прошёл игру. Если вам по кайфу Макс и Хотлайн, то по скидке берите, потому что игра проходится за 2 часа)
un juego muy bueno y adictivo
Мясная яйцерезка. Имхо - это всё еще один из лучших майамилайков. Еще и в стилистике Джона Ву.

Неплохая альтернатива Hotline miami
"I like doves. They look so beautiful, like a woman. For me they represent peace and love and purity".
There's no need for this game to be as good as Hotline Miami. It's a great addition to the genre. Hotline Miami is indeed a masterpiece and has a depth that The Hong Kong Massacre lacks. But it is a great game nonetheless. The slow motion is a great gimmick that almost kills the gameplay. Once you get the hang of it the game gets too easy. So much that the middle part of the game feels repetitive. Only in the last part of the game the difficulty increases (the number of enemies and the challenging angles you need to use to kill them) and the fun is back. You lack the visibility you have in Hotline Miami, since you cannot move the map around you at all and the environment can be confusing at times but I guess it was intended this way as part of the difficulty. All in all a great game.
Такая отличная игра, но тратить время на траи жирных боссов совсем не хочется.
John Wick Movies brought me here. Was not disappointed. I Hate Roof Jumping in this game!
Just play Hotline Miami instead! not even close action wise just a sloppy mess
this game is straight bunz dont even waste your time on it
Hong Kong Massacre es una mezcla entre Hotline Miami y el genial Max Payne; de uno toma su vista cenital y del otro el bullet time.
Graficamente me parece de los mejores juegos de este tipo, muy por delante a nivel gráfico de cualquiera de ellos. Hiperrealista y con detalles de partículas y destrucción,fabulosos.
A nivel sonoro, simplemente cumple en las melodías y los efectos sonoros, realistas y potentes.
La jugabilidad es rápida(demasiado) y exigente. Muy arcade;con niveles cortos e intensos.
De lo mejorcito que he jugado en cuánto a juegos de este tipo. Un 8.
china man shoot bad guy like jhon wik
This ♥♥♥♥ is fun maneeeeee
This is very vibe game!
Other reviews are right -- the upgrade system in this is trash. It's also a bit hard to visually parse things -- I was killed a fair number of times because I didn't realise something was supposed to be a window or that the obstacle did/didn't block line of sight (some of them you can shoot over, some you can't).
But for me the biggest problem I had was the same issue I had with Hotline Miami 2 -- enemies that are off-screen can see and shoot you. So the entire game encourages you to rush forward and engage in constant mayhem but that lack of visibility pushes you towards (somewhat) cautious exploration to make sure that third guy is still around the corner when you enter the room to deal with his friends.
It doesn't help that enemies generally spot & fire at you extremely quickly and are generally pretty accurate. So the core gameplay is actually about enemy dodging bullets primarily via the slide/dive. You need judicious use of the slow motion to know when best to dive to avoid the incoming fire. All while keeping track of how many bullets you have left so you can pick up an enemy weapon -- if you're caught without bullets it is usually game over.
At the end of the day all of the above combined to make this punishing rather than challenging for me, crossing that border to unfun. I even tried dialling the difficulty down to Easy to see if that helped enough to make me stick with the game. But here I am still dropping this after less than an hour.
我如果没有发现库里有这个，顶天只是浪费了一点点钱，现在浪费的不只是钱，还有我半个小时的时间
Игра имбовая, всем очень советую. Конечно много крови, но кайф...
Recommended if you're sold on the idea of a Hard Boiled Hotline Miami, but just know it's not great.
Pros
- I only really grabbed this because I could get a discount with Hotline Miami and Ruiner, not expecting much. Like those games, it's a top down shooter.
- Good looking game, there's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of cool effects when you're shooting and firing through glass, enviroments are total chaos during firefights. Just like a John Woo movie.
- Plays well enough, there's enemy indicators if they're just off screen, shooting is fast and satisfying.
- Slow motion is like that of Severed Steel or Max Payne, recharges fast but with a low capacity, so it's short bursts you need to make the most of.
- The Hotline Miami style narrative bits are alright. VN style text dialogue with some visuals of whats going on.
- Intelligent use of effects if you know what I mean. The game does not look good when it's not from the top down, and the game knows it, so the final kill slowmotion shots (like the ones from Max Payne) are blurred to ♥♥♥♥, makes it look a little better actually. Smart move.
- You can upgrade weapons accuracy, ammo count and other properties by spending stars you get from completing mission challenges. See later, but the upgrades themselves are nice, especially duel wielding SMGs.
- They actually say "The Hong Kong Massacre" in the game. In dialogue.
- Weapon feels great. Shotgun takes a while between shots but it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ DEMOLISHES ♥♥♥♥. Lovely.
- Soundtrack is fine. Wouldn't listen to it outside the game.
- About 4-5 hours long.
Cons
- Upgrades system that makes all the weapons you find in a level better is directly tied to the 3 optional stars you can get from a mission. The way these work are basically pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid
+ Time Star: Do the level in under a set time. I'm fine with this one I guess.
+ Slow-motion Star: Why the ♥♥♥♥ would they add this? I WANT to use slow motion, it's fun.
+ Accuracy Star: Every shot has to hit an enemy. Fire a shotgun and not all hit? No star. Hit a pane of glass to shoot an enemy through it? Doesn't count, no star.
Basically you need to replay levels in unfun and annoying ways to upgrade weapons. Why not just copy Hotline Miami and it's chain/combo system and give me score targets? I can't emphasise how annoying this is. You do at least get one star just for beating a level. So either replay levels in boring lame ways or get by with far less weapon upgrades. I was playing on Medium and did the second option, I was able to get by and pick up some neat upgrades so it's not mandatory. I'd be fine replaying levels if it was more fun to do these challenges.
- I don't like the bulletproof vest enemies. I'd be fine with it if they need two shots to kill, but they ALWAYS do a dodge IMMEDIATELY after you shoot them once so it messes with the flow. Shotguns are crap with them since hitting them with two pellets doesn't kill them immediately.
- I wish restarts were faster. I don't want to be spamming R waiting for the Restart prompt to come up when I die. Put me back in coach! I want to kill ASAP! Hotline Miami did it like snapping your fingers. I should NEVER have to press the restart button more than once when you can die this fast.
- The realistic visuals make it much harder to read than Hotline Miami and you REALLY need that for a fast game like this. Is that a bullet or a muzzle flash? Is that enemy dead and ragdolling or still alive? Is the enemy currently doing their dodge animation that makes them invincible? I really don't like that enemies can do that. It's fine when I do it because I'm the protagonist in a John Mother-♥♥♥♥♥♥' Woo movie. Wait, is my dodge animation still going or can I get shot? Hard to tell sometimes!
- Bossfights are kinda naff. Run to the top of your screen shooting with the boss on the other side of the wall, get creamed by enemies you can't see because of the shape of your monitor and because they need enemies there so you can refill ammo. They're also bullet sponges. They're ALL like this.
- If you are out of ammo you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥. No throwing guns or melee.
- The story is the barest minimum of conversations and setup to get you to kill people. I'm fine with that I guess. You could've told me this was a "Slow Motion Shooter" and I would've just assumed I'd be blasting criminals after my wife/girlfriend was killed by them. Since that's just Max Payne.
- Long levels are annoying. There's one level I was stuck on solely because it was so long.
- It's a liiiiiitle bit jank.
6.5/10
Worth a buy on a sale, stylish more realistic graphic hotline Miami in John woos image. Guns and effects are detailed and satisfying. Very fun for 10 minute play sessions doesn’t suck me in like my favorites of the genre. Definitely worth the price of admission on sale and I play on chopping away at this piece by piece.
Не знаю, зачем я это дер ьмо коровье купил, но пусть разрабы пожрут дерьма. Какая то идиотская сложность и совсем дебильное управление. И заодно дохнешь от одного выстрела, но зато можешь легко застрять, а мобы не умеют промахиваться. Ну а затем им выдают бронежилеты, ты же как мюдак идёшь на перестрелку в одном пиджаке.
I got some fun.

[h1]The Hong Kong Massacre[/h1]
The gameplay is fast and brutal: one or two bullets can end you, so every room becomes a deadly puzzle of timing, positioning, and reflexes. Luckily you have slow-motion dives and quick restarts, which means you’ll probably die a lot… but you’ll also look incredibly cool doing it.
[b]What works well:[/b]
• [b]Stylish gunfights:[/b] Slow-motion dives and dual pistols make every fight feel like an action movie scene.
• [b]Fast retry system:[/b] When you die (and you will), restarting takes seconds so the pace never slows down.
• [b]Challenging gameplay:[/b] Every level feels like a tactical puzzle where positioning matters.
• [b]Cool visual style:[/b] Neon lighting, destructible environments, and cinematic action give the game a strong identity.
[b]Some negatives:[/b]
• [b]Very difficult:[/b] Enemies are deadly accurate, and some sections require near-perfect timing.
• [b]Short campaign:[/b] The story mode isn’t very long if you power through it.
• [b]Limited variety:[/b] Gameplay stays mostly the same throughout the game, which may feel repetitive to some players.
[u]Overall:[/u]
The Hong Kong Massacre is a stylish and intense shooter that rewards patience, quick reflexes, and a love for action-movie-style gunfights. It’s challenging but incredibly satisfying when you clear a room perfectly.
[b]Final verdict:[/b]
A brutal but stylish action shooter that makes you feel like the star of a Hong Kong action film — short, tough, but very satisfying once you master it.
big surprise for me !
yeah game is too short... but i love John Woo movies so this game is simply 9/10 !!!!
у нас есть макс пейн и хотлайн дома:
Bad UI, bad progression, terrible challenges, bad hit recognition.... Has a high ceiling it just doesnt reach
Playing this game was the most mid experience I've ever had.
3d hotline miami much?

Great game really liked it i will give this is solid 8/10 from myside it is just top down Max Payne Game vibes after playing it. I tried to do perfect game to this but i think "Everyone is sleeping" achievement is bugged which is not popping up you need to do 10k kills for that i already more than 15k in level completition stats it's not unlocked i am leaving my perfect run grinding for this game as of now.
I personally find the game frustrating also when in the last sections where you have to take perfect aim in single shot on the enemies damn that makes this games hard sometimes i find delay in the dodge too. Although liked the game what it is offering well this game developed some of my interest into looking out Hotline Miami etc.
Идея хорошая, реализация никакая

It somewhat fills the 'slow-mo bullet hell' void left by Max Payne 3.

1块钱买的key，超值。原价76就不太值了。
中等难度下，人物性能很强，慢动作条很长回的也很快，飞扑几乎无敌。敌人反应非常快，跟迈阿密热线一个水平的反应。
每一章BOSS战都一样但挺有意思的，你跟boss两个人在平行的两条路上一直往前跑的同时互相对射，太经典了。很爽很有老香港枪战片的感觉。
A stylish top-down shooter that scratches the John Woo itch with satisfying bullet-time mechanics and genuinely spectacular particle effects — watching glass shatter and bodies fly in slow motion never gets old. The core gunplay is tight enough that I kept coming back, but the progression system works against itself by penalizing you for using the slow-mo that makes the game fun in the first place. Boss fights are a repetitive letdown, the four-weapon roster feels thin by the end, and the story is basically wallpaper. That said, for a two-man indie studio, this is an impressive action experience that delivers exactly what the trailer promises for a solid few hours. Grab it on sale and go in with calibrated expectations — it's no Hotline Miami, but it's a worthwhile weekend binge if you love the aesthetic.
bien, fini à 100% en 14h
Controls are tight, it's not massively difficult once you get the hang of it, graphics and music are cool. 35 maps in total, and they can be replayed to get stars which you can use to unblock and upgrade weapons.
parecido com hotline miami só que 3D
Даже если бы игра была так же крута как Hotline Miami, она все равно не стоит тех денег, что за нее просят сейчас. Я покупал ее раз в 5 дешевле. Да и лучше она только графикой. За такие деньги точно нет.
It looks and feels cool sometimes, but this thing just drowns in absolutely baffling design decisions.
The first one is the most self-defeating, idiotic progression system I’ve ever seen. Levels in this game have a rating system; each has 3 stars you can earn—one for speed, one for 100% accuracy, and one for not using slo-mo. And those are not just for useless, who-cares achievements—you upgrade your guns that way. The ability to dual-wield Uzis costs 10 stars.
So, this John Woo wannabe has a brilliant idea: to force you to play without anything that makes that kind of game fun. And let me tell you, if you’re going to play it by its rules, it turns into an utter miserable slog really fast. The 100% accuracy one is especially asinine—you can’t even shoot through windows, because the first bullet that breaks it counts as a miss. So just drop it from the start, non-upgraded guns is the way lesser evil.
The second great idea is to give every other enemy the shoot-dodge ability that makes them completely immune to bullets. They can perform the most pathetic attempt at somersaults ever, you can shove your gun right into their face—bullets will go right through them if the animation plays. Words cannot describe how unsatisfying this is; you just have to feel it for yourself.
Oh, by the way, every single boss abuses this mechanic to death. Plus, toward the end of the game, it starts introducing armored enemies who you need to shoot twice. They will perform that shoot-dodge dance after the first hit every single time, which does wonders to the flow.
And the game just doesn’t have any sauce outside the shootouts; this is the dryest revenge of all time. Nobody is going to meme any of this anytime soon.
I say skip it. Maybe get it on a deep sale if you’ve exhausted the genre to the last possible drop already. Otherwise, just play Hotline Miami and Max Payne and such.
Балдёжный разрыватель cpaк, с приятной азиатской эстетикой и атмосферой. Игра легко дает (за щеку) почувствовать себя героем боевиков, очевидные попсовые ассоциации, это Джон Уик, Матрица, Максим Боль, даже Рейд в каком-то смысле.
По геймплею, это ближе к Хотлайн Майами и подобным проектам. Игра не прощает ошибок и насилует нас по кд не вынимая, даже без плевка, на сухую. Умираем с одного тычка, как и большинство болванчиков, кроме yeбкoв акробатов с брониками... они, редкостные пидopacы и нуждаются в ласке из двух тычков.
Боссы скучноваты, весь файт выглядит так - тычка, босс делает сальтуху Газманова которая дает ему фреймы неуязвимости, приземляется, повторить до победной. Он как бы бежит по кишке, но есть варик убить без беготни, стоим за стеночкой, пёрнули пулькой в него, спрятались, повторяем пока не помрет, главное сильно не убегать иначе придется самому по кишке бежать.
Оружия в игре 4 (пистолет, дробовик, узи, автомат), у каждого по 4 улучшения, улучшаются за звезды, звезды добываются за испытания (это отдельный вид извращений для эстетов, можно получить по 3 звезды на каждом уровне) и за прохождение самого уровня дают 1 звезду. Патроны конечные, новые стволы подбираются с трупов, только у пистолета есть грейд на бесконечные пульки. Самих стволов достаточно чтоб получать удовольствие от разлетающихся моделек.
Внешка приятная, стильная. Музыка хорошая, подходящая, желания выключить или заменить на что-то свое нет. Проблем с производительностью не заметил, все стабильно. Пробовал играть на гeйпaдe, не понравилось, на клавомыше приятней, каких-то проблем не было, единственное, нужно следить за всяким калом на уровнях, тк в нем легко застрять и некоторый мусор (буквально мусорка) может не пропускать снаряды, тк работает по принципу невидимой стены, хотя перепрыгнуть через нее можно...
Стоит ли брать? Да, если вам не жалко свою жoпy и вы хотите острых ощущений. Но. Только по скидке, не помню какой ценник был когда я её брал, но это примееерно было раз так в 10-15 меньше чем сейчас стоит (не поленился, зашел в историю, так и есть, гдет в 13 раз дешевле), это с учетом скидки и бандла.
Платина, скорее всего порвет очко на атомы, лично мне моя жoпнaя дырка дорога, тк берегу её для своей любимой, поэтому душиться не захотел, но саму игру прошел с удовольствием.

El juego es un shooter de vista cenital con mucha acción, y los tiroteos al estilo Hotline Miami “one-hit kill”.
La jugabilidad es el punto fuerte del juego si te gustan shooters rápidos, exigentes, estilo arcade, que te hacen repetir niveles hasta memorizarlos.
Solo lo recomendaría si lo encuentras en rebajas a 75% de descuento como mínimo, ya que el juego es muy corto y solo tratas de repetir niveles, ya que la historia es insignificante, es solo un vehículo para pasar directamente a los tiroteos.
At a first glance The Hong Kong Massacre appears to be nothing more than a Hotline Miami clone. However, beneath its samey exterior the game differentiates itself with some quirky mechanics that make it a real blast to play.

John Wick meets Max Payne! AWESOME!!!
Outstanding gameplay! Plays through like a Birdseye POV shot of The Raid movies or any number of Korean Action films. Good graphics quality and fun run-and-gun action. Bloody splatter effects keep me playing
viciante demais. mt bom
Yeah, no... I'm not finishing this game. It's just not fun, and feels like a chore to play.
There's a grammatical error in the first cutscene. Not a good first impression.
It's a Hotline Miami clone, but done worse in every single way. I'll admit I was never good at these types of games, but what kept me motivated to keep playing through Hotline Miami was the story, artstyle, and music. In this game, most of the cutscenes include a close-up of the guy's face doing a blank stare, and blurry scenes. How intriguing. Then the level designs feel dull, and the soundtracks are just so... Generic-sounding. Which just leaves me with boredom and frustration. If I wanted to be bored and frustrated, I would just go to work.
The main feature of the game is that there's slow-mo. But for some reason some genius decided that you get penalized for using it by not getting an upgrade point? M'kay. And the dodging feels slow and clunky, and there's only four guns, and only the SMGs feel somewhat decent.
It's just not worth losing my brain cells over. I don't feel like playing through this anymore.
Wish I could refund this.
good game for 3 hours
awesome game cant wait for a bunch more weapons and levels and a co op endless survival mode hint hint
你为什么在我店里？我看到你偷东西了。还有，老板们真是烂透了。
Still playing. Without using slow mo at all, making it incredibly hard, yet having FUN! Basically, it has all the settings I like, gun-fu, hong kong, triads, a revenge story and the dark settings! Really good job, even though sometimes, the movement glitches, its still a really good one. Picked it up on sale, I recommend all those who like top down shooters, should play this once.

Под музыку с кайфом.
Скучновато, локации однотипные, сюжета так такого нету, управление нормально. Цена норм если брать по скидке, фулл прайс говно за эту игру.
fun game clearly inspired by hotline miami, max payne and john woo movies. thought the setting was cool story was decent even if theres not much to it the bullet time along with sliding/cartwheels gave it something new when comparing it to hotline miami and its also 3D graphics.
While the gameplay is great, the UI sucks ass. Firstly, the UI seems to be intended to be used with a mouse, but you can't use it to navigate the menus, which cause the vast majority of problems, which include:
-You can't navigate between chapters, because whatever inputs are supposed to navigate between chapters don't work at all (your best hope is to beat final levels of each chapter repeatedly to even access the following chapters);
-You can't upgrade weapons, because after purchasing an upgrade you can't choose weapons, forcing you to close the game brute-force (you can't go back to previous menus).
Also, you can't remap bullet time controls, because the remapping input doesn't seem to work.
TLDR; gameplay is good, but UI/UX is terrible.

pretty good
el hijo d max payne y hotline miami, para mi fue un coito con amor, esta bien aunque a veces se siente un poco croto todo
Давно игрушка лежала у меня в вишлисте и вот наконец то я её купил и прошёл. В целом, я сразу влюбился в неё, но не ожидал, что она ещё круче, чем ожидал. Супер кайфовая стрельба, отличный визуал, не долгая по прохождению и прикольная музыка. Могу ещё отметить, что намного круче хотлайн майями, я не хейтер игрушки, но там акцент идёт в основном на оружии ближнего боя, мне это не особо нравится и управление с геймпада полное дерьмище, а в массакре, лично для меня, всё идеально. Очень рекомендую к ознакомлению, жаль разрабы не сделали продолжение.
this game horribly bad
besides it being shorter then a booger sugar line this game just felt directionless and just a series of poorly made maps slapped together with a "story" with no direction or anything going on and this game does everything wrong with top down shooters and completely missed the mark on why games like Hotline Miami work so it was a more frustrating experience then actually fun
the only good thing about this game is that there is a lot of blood and your character gets more bloodied throughout the game and the destruction is very good but other then that it is just frustrating ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Get the dual smgs and change your reticle to green.
Идея отличная, но реализация ужасная.
Сама игра веет фильмами Джона Ву и легендарного Чоу Юньфата.
Лично я столкнулся с не отзывчивым управлением. Пробовал в далёком 2019-ом играть на клавиатуре. Пробовать сейчас на геймпаде не вижу смысла. Более того, вижу что есть схожие претензии по этому поводу.
Учитывая качество продукта, ценник должен быть намного ниже.
una garcha aburrida
Game wont register my controller, whatever, only problem is the UI is horrific on keyboard and mouse even going into the weapon upgrade and going back out will break the UI forcing a restart, and the devs have the balls to beg for the labor of love award.
Hotline Miami meets John Woo.
If you're looking for just a fun little arcade Gun 'Em Up then this is a pleasant choice - plenty of action. Slow-Mo is always fun, and nothing beats hitting a perfect level of pirouettes, dives and a cacophony of bodies and bullets left in your wake.
It doesn't beat Hotline Miami in any sense but it's still good fun.
Вам доставка пиццы из пуль. Простейший скролл-шутер пропитанный вайбами бандитского чайнатауна.
Muito ruim. A mecanica é horrível, os npcs são burros e muitas vezes você vai morrer por bugs. No começo tava daorinha, mas depois cansou e eu não estou com uma mínima vontade de terminar. Nota: 4.0/10
Intense and fairly tough, with simple but effective action which even manages to be quite cinematic, despite the top-down camera angle. Almost everyone, including the player character, goes down in one hit, and enemies are fast and perfectly accurate. To counter this, the player character is able to slow down time, and dodge incoming fire by diving and sliding around. Projectiles are fast, but travel just slow enough to allow strafing out of their way, unless standing too close or facing a wide shotgun spread. Nevertheless, targets have to be acquired promptly to survive because enemies have lightning fast reflexes and eyes on the backs of their heads - creeping up on them silently isn't possible. Even though enemies turn around almost instantly to engage the player, they are surprisingly "honourable" - that is to say, they only start firing as soon as they enter the visible area and never from off-screen. Likewise, the player's projectiles do not seem to damage enemies outside that area.
Even if walking speed is a bit slow, the movement system in general is comparatively liberating and allows focusing solely on the action - the player character will simply traverse sofas, desks, and dinner tables instead of getting caught on them. It might look a little strange at first, but the more cluttered the environments became, the more I appreciated this feature.
Enemies are colour-coded according to their weapons for readability. Armoured enemies are introduced in later levels - they take two shots to go down and don't have a preference for a particular weapon. In addition to being able to react fast, enemies shoot through each other without friendly damage, necessitating getting in the habit of hitting the time slowdown button for almost every engagement. However, they don't blindly rush the player; instead they try to take cover, and can even roll to dodge, rendering themselves invincible while doing so. Enemy rag dolls stop tanking hits as soon as they go down, so they do not shield live enemies.
The weapons roster features no melee weapons, but there are four firearms to choose from - the pistol, the shotgun, the sub-machine gun, and the assault rifle. They can be upgraded by spending stars gained by completing challenges to increase ammunition capacity, rate of fire, and movement speed. The shotgun mostly serves to showcase the visual effects caused by destructible assets; its slow rate of fire and random spread make it a little too unreliable in firefights. Fortunately, it is just as inconsistent in the hands of adversaries, which occasionally leads to surviving shotgun blasts by sheer luck, with all pellets skirting around the player character.
There are three challenges per level except the boss levels, which don't have any. One star is awarded for finishing a level under par time, one for not using slow motion, and the third is for having perfect accuracy. The three stars don't have to be acquired at the same time, which is a relief because having perfect accuracy without slowing down time seems next to impossible with enemies this fast on the draw. The first two challenges are self-explanatory, but there are two things to keep in mind regarding perfect accuracy. Shooting intact window frames to break them seems to count as a miss even if there are enemies right behind them, whereas accurate shots on dodging - and thus briefly invincible - enemies actually count as hits even if no damage is dealt. Because windows stop the first bullet, I'd advise to simply walk through them or bait enemies to break them instead.
Hard mode features tweaked enemy behaviour and a significantly less generous time slowdown meter, but this mode is entirely optional - even all of the achievements explicitly mention Medium difficulty. Unfortunately, statistics counters are separate for each difficulty mode, and they don't add up for the 10,000 kills achievement, which seems like a questionable decision. Three of the achievements are there to provide some extra challenge; two of them require getting through the first and second sections of the game without dying (individual levels can be played in any order), and then there's one for getting three stars in every level.
Despite being rather short and having an over-minimalist, text-only revenge story, with none of the characters getting any exposition, the game is very much a blast to play throughout.
Realmente quise que este juego me guste pero no fue posible al final. Disfruté el principio pero de a poco me fui dando cuenta de todos sus problemas.
-La IA de los enemigos es una cagada, simplemente saben que vas a aparecer por lo que es imposible jugar sin slowmotion.
-Las cinemáticas dan cringe, siempre tienen la misma musiquita.
-La música es repetitiva y aburrida, entiendo que quiera dar vibes a lo Hotline Miami pero no funciona, no tiene el golpe y la variedad que tiene el OST de HM. Tampoco da vibes de Hong Kong (u orientales en general).
-Las conversaciones entre cada nivel no están muy bien escritas. El juego no necesita tener historia pero justamente en un juego con tan poca historia, deberías hacer que ese poco valga la pena ser visto/leído.
-Es demasiado corto y repetitivo, y teniendo en cuenta el contexto mediocre que se le da, se vuelve aburrido muy rápido.
-Podrías cambiar Hong Kong por cualquier cualquier otro lugar y no me daría cuenta. Lo único que dice "este es un juego de acción en Hong Kong" es el uso de las dos pistolas (que solo usé en los primeros niveles, después pasé a otras armas) y el slowmotion que a decir verdad, ya está tan difundido ese estilo, que cualquier peli de acción exagerada tiene esos elementos (ni siquiera hay palomas en el juego, pero por dios).
-En partes el texto es demasiado pequeño, tuve que adivinar que "E" era para avanzar y "R" para retroceder en el menú.
-Las configuraciones están bugueadas y no se pueden cambiar los controles.
Nada, eso, disfruté mucho los primeros mapas, después... Meh.
Not great :/
It´s like Max Payne X Hotline Miami but doesn´t fulfill either of the games mechanics. It´s too unresponsive and you move too slow, main menu is crap and unresponsive and everything feels janky. Crazy that the game is normally worth 19,50€ when it´s barely worth my time. The game has potential and it is creative but certainly not good. Visuals look cool and would be a pretty good game if they had put some minimal effort into quality of life changes.
The Hong Kong Massacre felt like a game i should have loved, given i've played many games like it and enjoyed them a lot but this one?... its just kind of bad with no real way of putting it nicely
the gameplay feels.. fine
there's nothing obscenely wrong with it, but it feels weightless and peculiar
(note i only played in "meduim" difficulty, and i am unsure if some of these change in hard)
bullets seem to dissapear once they leave your screen, the movement of the character feels strange and unnatural when dodging, which also felt random for when it would slide or dive
enemy bullets move significantly slower than yours, which often times tripped me up making me think i should dodge earlier or later
there's also only four guns, i don't think this is necessarily a bad thing, but they also don't differentiate enough to really be anything to write home about
weirdly, for a game like this there is no melee
the game is short, so i think it having few guns is fine, but it also only has 5 enemies
and one of them is just the same enemies as before but they can survive one extra shot
after you play through half the game you've practically seen all the levels, some of them are kind of cool having you jump between buildings and such, but i can't for the life of me remember a single one
but the worst part in my opinion is the bosses, there are 5 of them and they ALL play the same
you move parallel to each other shooting through windows, that's it, all bosses are exactly like this in different levels
of course, implementing bosses in this genre of game is already very hit or miss because... you die in one hit, there's not much room for innovation or things you can do different, but it feels like there was not an attempt to do so anyway !
and then there's the story, this sort of feels like they wanted to make it feel experimental but forgot to make it engaging or interesting, most characters appear once, say a funny line and off you go to kill the same 4 guys, of course its a bit reductive to refer to the story this way but i really didn't feel i got anything out of it, and maybe that's fine i don't always need a compelling story to play and enjoy a game, but when gameplay is all you depend on and said gameplay just doesn't feel as good as it could then i feel like this is not really worth playing
i think its important to reach your own conclusions, but i really don't think this game is worth playing even with a discount
Notline Miami
Its Max Payne meets Hotline Miami, but falls short of both. Unable to go all the way with what it was trying to accomplish stylistically or narratively. The gameplay bones are there, but the level design can get frustrating at some points. Making you play more cautiously and slow, the opposite of what this game attended. Playing with a controller is possible, but adds a huge handicap as the further you go the more it becomes necessary to perform more precise kills. I had to switch to mouse and keyboard halfway through. In the end there's potential here if there were ever sequel, so I give it a soft recommend especially if it's gotten for cheap and for it inspiring one of the greatest action scenes in recent movie history.
Great game. awesome gameplay. good graphics. all around fun and good soundtrack.
buen combo de inspiraciones pero aburrida ejecución
EDIT: cosa buena de este juego: hizo que me diera suficientes ganas de jugar al max payne 3 que busque como saltarme el launcher de rockstar
这款游戏刚开始玩操作不太熟练时比较虐心，不同于其他射击游戏控制的角色可以多挨几枪，这游戏不管啥枪都是一枪死，电脑敌人AI整体也比较厉害，特别是高难度敌人经常背对你时瞬间开枪，防不胜防，不过熟悉操作和电脑习惯后，善于利用角色翻滚和子弹时间难度就会大大降低，但要全程三星通关仍然有很大难度，特别是第三颗星达成条件难度较高，目前只剩第五大关的三小关第三颗星没有达成，没事时再多尝试总会全三星通关的，整体感觉是值得玩的一款游戏，画面细腻开枪时的粒子效果加上背景音乐，击杀敌人时的爽快感爆棚，虽然有些小BUG，但不影响整体体验，毕竟就两个人开发的游戏，素质已经很不错了，推荐喜欢硬核游戏的玩家尝试！
вот просто норм. это нельзя назвать плохим, но как будто скучновато, локации неинтересные, сюжетец не особо. за копейки можно взять побегать-попалить в слоу мо, но надоедает. сложно назвать это полезным игровым опытом, но можно убить пару часов, если есть такая цель.
it's like slow unresponsive hotline miami
It has a weird dodge roll/dive and slow motion - which it's easier to just not use at all.
The flashy bullet effects are cool
only worth getting if cheap
feels like shovelwear
Unplayable: insane input delay and no actual graphic options.
Just simple fun, combat feels very satisfying as you blast down doors and roll through windows. Cutscenes left a little to be desired but then again you're not playing this game for the cutscenes
Мне очень понравилась! Как будто макс пейн с видом с верху! Но ценник завышен, я брал по скидке!
The NPC's reaction times are WAY too ♥♥♥♥♥♥' good. Their guns look at me before they do, ♥♥♥♥♥♥' crazy, mostly unplayable; you basically have to abuse the slow-down mechanic. story is ♥♥♥♥♥, not to mention the awkward pre-mission cutscenes of nothing but silence, bad grammar, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ camera angles.
一开始的子弹时间翻滚很爽，但后面关卡的图明显堆怪严重加设计不合理，本应一条路线清图，分成了要来回走动，有些房间甚至是隔离的，浪费了不少时间。boss站无聊至极，两个移动靶子互射。爽感会在前几个小时慢慢消失。
John Woo style!
super fun
Good action, but the story is slow and boring in my opinion.
Редко встречаешь игру которая плохо работала бы и на клавомыши и на геймпаде, но разработчикам этой игры удалось сделать оба варианта управления тошнотворно плохими.
Great game. It's a hotline miami without the screen shake, neon colors and other motion sickness triggers. Makes the game way more enjoyable and I can actually play without getting a headache.
The achievement hunt was super enjoyable as well (except for the kills achievement)
just to easy, I got through the whole game in 2 hours and with most levels you can finish them in 2 to 3 tries. I like the look its going for but its just such a bland game with a bad story
This does not spark joy. Sluggish. Feels like shots don't always register. I can't shoot through obstacles, but enemies can? Bosses get to have a health bar the length of a bus. Overall just feels more punishing than necessary and motivation to keep playing is low.
