    A creative take on the top-down shooter genre and, had it had more opportunities for me to run into a room guns blazing, it may have been my new favourite. The hand drawn art style is unlike anything I’ve seen before and I can’t wait to see if the developers create something new with the same idea in mind. If you’re looking for a game that will have you crying with rage one second and laughing in triumph the next, 12 is Better Than 6 is definitely worth a playthrough or two.

    A game as brutal, simple and fun as Hotline Miami besides being too short and repetitive over time.

    It’s fun, looks great, elicits a lot of tense moments as you run into an empty room to reload your shotgun before a small band of soldiers comes marching through to their death.

    12 Is Better Than 6 is a tribute to the Western genre and takes deep inspiration from Hotline Miami.

    No matter how many years pass, how much gaming industry changes, there will always be space for games like 12 Is Better Than 6 and an audience to appreciate, buy and enjoy them. Sergio Leone would be proud of it!

This era hadThis game is a real monument of culture and, at the same time, it’s the caricature of the bloody-bloody time for the Wild West. This era had given a new genre for the world cinematography - Westerns. The one with the characters in sombreros, bars, spaced into pieces, where the smell of beef in a spicy sauce is everywhere. (or may be that’s just a dead coyote - who knows?) This game seemed to absorb all of the cliches related to the genre. And that’s really cool!
    This is the first game in my gaming experience with such a racy theme. Thanks to the developers, who were able to create such convincing and stylish world of Wild West, that from the first minutes of gameplay I began to associate myself with this desperate guy, who, probably, smokes peyote with someone who’s name is Don Juan.
    To tell the truth, I'm not a big fan of stealth genre, but this game captivated me with its atmosphere, its music,archetypal characters, funny details, like, for.ex., drying clothes, horses feeding hay, big rats and so on.
    I also like the dynamics of the game, where a cozy saloon rapidly turns into a mess of human bodies and broken furniture.
    Keep your finger on the trigger and you’ll survive this massacre. =) That’s the only way. =)    … Full Review »

Plenty ofWhat I especially liked about '12 s better than 6' is a smart design - cool hand drawing, only three colors. Looks really beautiful. Plenty of different types of guns - I even didn't here about some of them before. Why not the highest score - the game seemed too bloody for me, but someone will appreciate it more than great design :-) Tastes differ.… Full Review »
