Deadbolt: the newest game from Hopoo Games, the guys who made the quite lovely action roguelike Risk of Rain.

from the steam store page:

DEADBOLT is an extremely challenging stealth-action hybrid that allows you to take control of the reaper to quell the recent undead uprising. Play and complete missions given to you by the mysterious fireplace as you become the avatar of death. While the reaper has an impressive arsenal and skillset to kill the undead, he has one flaw - he dies in one shot... leaving you with no room for error.

It was released last week to... basically no fanfare. I've heard literally nothing about this game. I only found out about it today thanks to the musician's YouTube channel. It's getting rather good reviews on Steam though.

So, has anyone gotten their hands on the game? Any opinions?

I remember playing the free prototype of this some months back.  Was fun.  I'll probably be picking this up near future.

Saw Jef Major play it a little while ago, seemed pretty good. remind me a bit of Hot Line Miami in style.

They must not be very good at marketing, because I didn't know this was out. I liked the prototype though, I'll add this one to the list.
