About this game
Hotline Miami Collection brings together Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number. In the original, messages on an answering machine send the protagonist into violent confrontations. Gunfire and close-range attacks provide different ways to fight, while lethal shots make the timing of each move consequential. The sequel follows several factions and changes the combat techniques available as their stories intersect. Weapons, movements and melee attacks introduce variations as you progress, asking you to adapt your approach to the current part of the story. Neon imagery runs through the collection, framing its violence in an intentionally stylized setting.
