A fusion of Gunpoint with Hotline Miami that casts you as the Grim Reaper and tasks you with clearing out dens of undead criminals. [05/2016, p.47]

Deadbolt is a joy to play by anyone wanting simplistic yet extremely challenging action, offering a good variety of enemies and weapons. Nevertheless, it falls far behind Hotline Miami, a game with similar “DNA” but with much more personality.

A "hard as bone" game that clearly takes inspiration from Hotline Miami and Gunpoint, but is brilliant enough to do its own thing. It will be frustrating at times, but if you love challenging games it's basically a must have.

A short and very addictive game to improve your score and aim. I played it because I thought it would remind me of that elevator game in the arcade, but no.YouTube: Federock ////

Good sneak action game that is a bit unfair in some places, but worth playing.

One of the worst games I think I've ever played. Looked like it might scratch the Hotline Miami itch, but oh boy that couldn't be further from the truth. It gets a point because the soundtrack is amazing, but everything else about it is just awful.

Deadbolt is a small action game that can be extremely funny. The gunfight tension is worth more than the gunfight itself: a fundamental rule in cinema that Hopoo Games perfectly applied to its videogame.

But between the clever level layouts, exciting gunplay, expressive sprite art and animations, and some chill grooves by composer Chris Christodoulou, I was hooked. By the end of Deadbolt, I wasn't nearly ready to leave. The game felt like it was just starting to become truly great.

Deadbolt feels like a less thought-through combination of Hotline Miami and Gunpoint. The game can be frustrating and difficult, which is partly because the game just is not that well made. It is okay, but very short.

Very good game. Nice, minimalistic design, superb soundtrack, crude humor, challenging gameplay. Plus, the protagonist is super cool with his skull and fur coat. And all the little touches such as the chimney, the cat, the car and the scythe are just perfect. Some stronger narrative would be better though.

A fun little excursion ****. Plays much like Hotline Miami but 2D instead of isometric. The ambiance between missions is probably my favorite part of the game as you sit in a dark room with a phonograph and receive orders from your fireplace. The actual gameplay kept me entertained for nearly 3 hours (I think the whole game is close to 6 hours) but to somebody hankering for a hotline miami type of game a lot more enjoyment could be had.

Скучная 2д индюшка на разок. Не очень затянутая, но мне на 3 главе надоедать начало.
