OTXO
OTXO (pronounced oh-cho) is a violent top-down shooter with roguelite elements. Play as the protagonist entering an inexplicable mansion in search of his lost love. As you venture deeper into the Mansion, more of its secrets will be unveiled to you.
Featureless, unnamed, and without memories of how you came here… but you remember why. She’s waiting for you somewhere in this Mansion and you cannot leave until you find her. Cut your way through various unique areas and meet new allies as you delve deeper into the mystery, face your inner demons, and annihilate them.
With a massive variety of guns, over 100 abilities, and Focus to dodge bullets at your disposal, kick down doors and eviscerate the variety of enemies standing in between you and your mission.
◼ Tons of replayability: OTXO will take the player through 8 areas with a randomly laid out selection of rooms out of the over 150 hand-crafted rooms built in the game. No two runs of the game will be the same.
◼ Customization: Find the setup that’ll help you break the cycle from a whole selection of unlockable weapons and over 100 acquirable abilities from the game’s enigmatic bartender.
◼ Playstyle: With the slow-mo mechanic, Focus, at your disposal OTXO will make the player feel powerful and in control. However, be careful because the variety of enemy types thrown in your way can quickly turn the tides of the combat if you don’t adapt accordingly.
◼ Soundtrack: Fully immerse yourself into the brutal noir-esque murder ballet through the gritty pulse pumping soundtrack composed by the developer himself.

I played this game for 14 hours during which I was dying and dying and dying over and over again to the same bosses.
And then, I found the most overpowered drink combination of the ENTIRE GAME.
If you mix The One (deflects ennemies bullets by right clicking) and Roadhouse (50% increased splatter chance, which gives you a shitload of more coins), I became more than I ever was.
They are human. They die. I used to die too. I used to. I became an unstoppable entity, a God...
While deflecting the bullets, you can still kick. So I kicked every single ennemies to death and they couldn't do anything about it but watch. With the increased splatter, I made so much money that I could literally buy any drink I wanted.
And so, each time i got out of the bar, my ennemies looked at me with fear, knowing that I was more and more powerful. A guard dog ? Yes. A drone that shoots ennemies and bosses ? Yes. More Health but walk speed reduced ? Yes. Enhanced walk speed ? Yes. Explosive barrels in EVERY SINGLE ROOM ? YES.
MY POWER WAS GROWING AS I MOWED DOWN THE MOST HARDCORE LEVELS OF THE GAME IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, SHREDDING THROUGH BOSSES LIKE THEY WERE MADE OF BREAD. I BECAME MORE POWERFUL THAN THE HEART OF THE MANSION. I BECAME THE HEART OF THE MANSION. AND MY ENNEMIES SHALL FEEL DEATH BY MY HAND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AS I RUSH INFINITELY IN THESE ROOMS TO SEEK VENGEANCE FOR MY LOST DAUGHTER.
Anyway this game is pretty solid the music is good 10/10.

OTXO really scratches the Hotline Miami itch I’ve had since HM2 came out. It’s simultaneously more punishing and more forgiving than Hotline Miami.
Instead of restarting the same level over and over, OTXO is a rouge like, and you’ll restart your entire run. The levels seem randomly generated (but I could be mistaken), so it stays fresh, and it’s harder to come up with a level strategy or to cheese your way through the story.
It’s more forgiving in that weapons are reloadable, you have a generous health meter,
unlock-able power ups that alter combat, give you perks, etc. as well as a time shifting mechanic that can get you out of hairy scenarios.
The controls are nearly identical to Hotline Miami, and feel great.
It plays great on the Steamdeck, and runs at native resolution at a solid 60fps.
The soundtrack is great. Similar feeling as HM, but a heavier more metal sounding techno than the retro wave and synth wave we got in HM. It fits the game well and I haven’t heard a dud in the mix yet.
Good recommend from me.

Excellent iteration on Hotline Miami's base gameplay formula. Tuned towards gunplay, improves on the implementation of doors, works very well with the healthbar, has more intelligent enemy behavior...
And the soundtrack is a banger, and the guns are deeply satisfying to use. Don't miss out on this one.

A very good game, one of the simpler roguelikes, which isn't a bad thing, with an awesome soundtrack and even an impossible mode if you want to make it more difficult. A little tip: if you're dying and don't want to lose everything, quit the game and go back in, as this will completely refresh your life. (you didn't hear it from me, though) All in all, a very good game that reminds me a lot of Hotline Miami. Solid 8/10 with a 10/10 OST.
