    Stabbing people to death has never been such fun.

    If you can get Deadbolt on a steam discount, don't hesitate. It'll make you laugh and enjoy life again

    Grandísimo juego de acción rápida.

    A medio camino entre Hotline Miami y Gunpoint, Deadbolt combina lo mejor de ambos títulos y le suma una ambientación y premisa originales además de una banda sonora con muchísimo carisma. Lo único que le puedo sacar malo al juego es que es una pena que no nos cuente más de su historia, que parece muy interesante pero parece que no se termina de

    Lo único que le puedo sacar malo al juego es que es una pena que no nos cuente más de su historia, que parece muy interesante pero parece que no se termina de desarrollar enteramente.

    Recomendado para todo el mundo, casual o veterano.

    P.D.: ¿He mencionado ya que la banda sonora es buenísima?

    A fun little excursion of a game. 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 hotlineA fun little excursion of a game.

    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 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.
