15 Best Indie Video Games Of 2016 (So Far)

5. Not A Hero

Publisher Devolver are one of the best licensing teams working today. Not only did they will Hotline Miami into being, but also Luftrausers, the aforementioned Broforce and now Not a Hero, to name but four.

The latter is a side-on blaster where you're tasked with reducing the rate of crime in the city by blowing away scores of goons, all to ensure a Presidental candidate, BunnyLord, can make it into office.

It makes about as much sense as the EU Referendum, so just roll with it.

Controls are a feisty mix of taking cover, returning fire and pulling off brutal melee executions if you can close the distance fast enough. Bunny Lord himself has dialogue that's hilarious at every turn (thanks to having randomly-generated words inserted into his sentences) and the whole tone is the embodiment of whacky irreverent humour done right.

Oh, and if you liked Hotline Miami's soundtrack, you'll love the beats that back up your slaughter this time round. Check out 7:40 on the below video:
