Don't assume this is another in a long line of boomer shooters, Project Downfall is an action puzzler first and foremost that aims to recreate the punishing gameplay of Hotline Miami but within a retro fps. A "Hotline Miami fps" if you will, just about every aspect of Project Downfall early access takes heavy inspiration from Devolver's synthwave symphony. The gameplay, story and art direction especially. Is this indie fps the Hotline Miami 3 we always wanted? Find out in this Project Downfall review.
Project Downfall is being developed by MGP Studios and Cloud9 Studio. It is currently available for pc through steam early access.

Another Hotline Miami-ish fps you could check out is Season's Beatings. While it's visuals are kind of standard, it's gameplay is great with bite size levels and one hit kills, making for some intense kill puzzles to solve.

The camera position of this game is on the characters stomach.

Hey just a heads up man, I think there's a typo regarding the release year of Hotline Miami at 1:32 also I believe it's Dennaton Games :)

Fun Fact: one of puppetcombo's projects was a remake demo of hotline Miami done in an over the shoulder perspective with his signature ps1 3d style. It's pretty basic (theres not even a HUD or any of the trippy effects... Not yet anyway) but it looks solid as a fangame concept!

I love the aesthetics of this game, with its odd mix of realistic 3D, fancy lighting and paper-thin hand-drawn pixel art characters.

Great video once more! I'm very curious what you think of White Hell that just launched into Early Access. I'm hesitant about giving it a try.

I thought this would be another lame fps trying to ride the adrenaline trail that so many are doing today, but I really like that you actually have a consequence to your actions. It's something I've been longing for, an fps that isn't just pulp roguelike gameplay and has some actual effort put into the atmosphere and story. Also those environments look incredible, kind of like prodeus' lighting but with more variety.

There was one game which is basically Hotline Miami FPS n it's called Seasons Beatings or smth. From the developers of Paranautical Activity. This one ain't first. Moreso it already proved this concept works

The 2D characters just come across as a compromise or lazy. They don't fit the game or rest of the art really. It's not unusual for imitators to copy elements superficially without understanding what made the original work good. Hotline Miami is high quality art while Project Downfall is just a shallow and superficial fan game basically. Maybe I'm too harsh haha.

The player character is designed great. But enemies are weird yes.
