Deadbolt

Deadbolt is a stealth-action hybrid that allows you to take control of the Reaper to quell the recent undead uprising. In it, players complete missions given to them by the mysterious fireplace as they become the avatar of death, with a wide arsenal of guns at their disposal.

The game centers on the player character, the Reaper, as he progresses through three sets of nine levels filled with hordes of undead that he must kill. There are four types of undead seen throughout the game: zombies, vampires, skeletons (also known as Dredged) and demons. Each set of levels is based on an undead type: the first set of nine levels focuses on zombies, the next set focuses on vampires, and the last focuses on the Dredged and demons. Although there are only four overarching enemy categories, there are over thirty-five actual enemy types.

Several reviewers considered that Deadbolt successfully combined some of the best parts of Hotline Miami and Gunpoint, in its blend of fast-paced violent action and tactical focus. Other reviewers also mentioned positive similarities with Hotline Miami, with the game not punishing players for impulsivity over a methodical approach.
