God’s Trigger

Well made arcade style game with coop and online play also. Very good visuals and game play I'm impressed. Arcade style meaning, you don't just hack and slash. You have to strat/be careful how you play because one wrong move means instant death. Though there are forgiving reload points, it's a neat style of game play more hardcore-like. Very difficult, you switch between characters to solve puzzles and obstacles. Is a live action ARPG style game as you play live time with a top-down view. Similar to 'Zengeon's gameplay.

A very good and challenging game. At the end i was about to throw my keyboard out the window tho...the last boss is straight of out dark souls :D

If you think to yourself "hey, looks like a Hotline Miami clone"... Yes and no.
Yes - it features top-down camera, ultra-violence, and kick-a$$ pulsating beats.
But no - you will not be contemplating philosophical questions like "why do I like hurting other people?" here. Instead, you will just let loose, kill hundreds of sinners and fly a helicopter to Heaven, where you'll need to demolish heavenly artillery, defeat Archangel Gabriel gone rogue and, ultimately, prevent the apocalypse.
It features character progression (if a bit clunky), cooperative mode (bugged on Windows 11 - use Parsec), and weapons like Van Hellsing's gun and Holy Hand Grenade. And by the end, your characters - nerdy, sword-wielding angel and a hot demoness - of course, purely in the interests of their quest, will... Become one. Literally.
I have no idea why this game is not more popular than it is. It's a holy blast!

Had an absolute blast playing this in coop.
The graphics could be better, the story is a bit... sparse, and the balancing between the two characters is a bit off, with one being noticably more powerful at the start. And the camera could be better - dashing towards the edge of the screen and getting killed from something almost next to you aht you could just not see is not that fun.
On the plus side, it's a really fast-paced game that felt hard, but not punishing.
Both the levels and the boss fights were varied enough. Boss fights were challenging but felt well designed and were absolute fun. The levels include some interesting puzzles and allow different approaches, and fighting through them together just was an absolute blast.
The coop-aspect is also really well done in my opinion. There is no continuing when your partner is dead, some passages require at least some thinking and clever use of both characters abilities to make it through, and overall it's impossible for just one player to just waltz through the game - it really felt like both are needed and that there is a good reason to play together. And the soundtrack just rocks.
Not sure how much fun it would be to play this alone, but in coop it has been a while since I had so much fun playing a game.

Holy War Miami with coop! Significantly easier than Hotline Miami but it's still a great time so if you were frustrated with that game then this one might be more up your alley

God's Trigger delivers chaotic, top-down action with satisfying combat, but its unforgiving difficulty can sometimes feel more punishing than rewarding.
Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

pretty easy hotline miami type game. theres a coop mode for it, and its probably one of the only hm inspired game out there that has coop. audio mixing is pretty poor tho, cranked every setting to full and could barely hear anything. flamethrower guys were awful to deal with with no gun. most of the game is pretty easy, you can just run forward and spam m1 like a maniac and usually get out perfectly fine, rooms are small enough to be able to facilitate that playstyle. pretty fun game overall
