Dennaton Games’s Hotline Miami and its sequel are some of the best games released this decade. They’re also some of the best over-the-top gorefests. Now, what if you took Hotline Miami’s top-down, kneejerk action concept, kept the gore, and instead of mobsters, you were blowing away zombies/monsters? Well, with the recently-released GARAGE: Bad Trip by Zombie Dynamics, you can.
Inspired by VHS-era B-movies, GARAGE: Bad Trip was originally released on the Nintendo Switch back in May, but has just made its way onto Steam. You play as a former drug dealer named Butch, who wakes up in the trunk of a car inside an underground parking garage. Turns out that a mad doctor has been toying with the dead, which as a result are now roaming around. It’s up to you to clean things up and set things right.
That of course, involves using multiple weapons at your disposal.
The game has that same frantic twitch gameplay from Hotline Miami, and yes, the zombies are a quick bunch. Zombies aren’t the only ones to worry about, as you’ve got things like rats, mutants and punks that will be just as unmerciful. A game that’s truly for Splatterpunk enthusiasts. You can check it out on its Steam page above, or head to the official site.
