While I do recommend this game do beware that it's jank af and will frustrate the ever living hell out of you due to it's insane jank. Also side note: This game is made out of pre bought assets and AI. How do I know that AI was used? I extracted the files via Asset Ripper and every single background is very clearly AI generated, it's hard to tell in-game in the moment but once you notice you'll never not notice. Also pretty sure not disclosing AI use is against steam TOS so watch this space. Side note 2: The only image for the OST seems to be GenAI and that's also undisclosed.

Everything about this game is fantastic, the presentation, music, gameplay, voice acting... its phenomenal! The back-and-forth between the two main characters is fun, the randomized level design and spells keep things fresh on a replay... I'll definitely find myself coming back to Jackal. Everything it has going for it, I just love. However, even with this great art direction, I throw shame at the clear usage of generative AI. Stuff like the soundtrack's cover art, the Special K cutscene, and ( maybe? ) some of the more detailed textures like the Egyptian flooring are needlessly AI generated. Simply just tracing over renders of the game's 3D models would have sufficed perfectly. Very unexpected and disappointing. I am still leaving a positive review because, overall, the game is still amazing and worth playing if you're a fan of any of its inspirations. While the AI usage is disappointing, its not like the whole game is made out of it. Id definitely recommend it be replaced sometime ( Again, it can just be traces of the 3D models! )

short but sweet, a cool little time waster for when life gets complicated and the weasels start closing in.

Short, sweet, and super fun. If you like: Hotline Miami, Anger foot, DEADBOLT. Then this is another one to add to the collection of ultra violent goodness. 7/10 Really solid

Not much to say. Hotline Miami was the best game ever. Hotline Miami 2 was an amazing sequel. This is Hotline Miami 3.
