[@claustrophobicmole867]

i love how every hotline miami character has its own themes that represent their personality through the theme itself both in combat and in non combat situations (like the transitions of every chapter in their own houses) jacket has a very psychodelic ost in his house and an energetic ost in battle showing how decided is jacket to eliminate all of his oponents beard has charming and gentle ost in his bar or when resting with the rest of the ghost wolves, and unlike jacket his battle soundtracks arent really murder-inducing as jackets soundtracks are, they sound more strategic and encouraging the list goes and goes since there are a lot of characters in the hotline miami saga

​@@cavemancult1999it's a step in a right direction, but we NEED those meaty rolling basses and old-school drum machines with the vintage reverbs and whatnots with fantasy-like melodies/chord progressions, rather than the fantasy dungeon ambient, which dungeon synth is all about.

[@TheOneUntakenName]

It took me a while to figure out why I liked this song so much above the rest of the soundtrack, but I realized it has a tone that you find nowhere else in the game, or the first one. It's heroic. This isn't the selfish bloodshed that everyone else goes through. You're on a suicide mission, but it has to be done, and if wasn't you it would be someone else. Just this once, you are doing the right thing.

Tired, at peace with the fact that you'll likely die. But still fighting, with a sliver of hope that you'll make it home.

[@CommissarChaotic]

It really sounds tired, yet hopeful, like you are trudging through slowly but you are literally right near the end of the tunnel, but it also feels somewhat numb so to speak but also euphoric, like I just got injected with all the adrenaline in the world that it doesn't make me feel my own convictions until the action is done. The first part is how I felt as I experienced the story, the second part is how i experienced the gameplay. Hotline Miami really does make you feel like you're on psychedelics....

[@LostSnowdrift]

Obligatory Beard comment here but -- Casualties -- it really is his last stand, his way home; one last mission, just one more time he has to see people die. Just one more moment in this hellish place, and then he's free. And I really like that, in this music. It captures the feeling of being battered and nearly broken; nearly dead, but still alive, still fighting back, and carrying a thin spark of hope with you.

This song sums up the entire story of Beard's Unit in the Russo-American war. It sounds like the sweetest victory and the most crushing defeat at the same time. The Ghost Wolves unit all know that they're going to lose the war to the Russians, and that nothing can be done against it. However, while the outcome is inevitable, they'll keep fighting until the end of it, not necessarily to hold onto their slim chance of winning, but to at least see it out to the end. To survive. To see another day, without the worry of an ambush or a near-impossible suicide mission awaiting them right outside their doors. This song, to me, represents Beard's dedication to making it out alive. His determination to live in peace, and to live that simple luxurious dream to find that little convenience store, and put a little TV next to the register, and just sit there all day, relaxing.

She was dying from organ failure and that was the last day I talked to her in person. She called on my birthday and we remembered all our fond memories but when I saw her next she'd be in a comatose state and I'd be to afraid to get near her.

In my opinion casualties is the best level of the game, not for its gameplay but for its history, after what happened last night you have a bad feeling, You feel that someone from the squad can leave at any time, the music is sad but with touches of joy, reflecting that despite everything there is hope that the Ghost Wolfs can return home and live away from that violence, the atmosphere with the first floors in a sunny place, with yellow tones make you feel the hope of the Wolfs to suddenly leave Hawaii , the atmosphere with the first floors in a sunny place, with yellow tones make you feel the hope of the Wolfs to suddenly leave Hawaii, But go to everything you feel that something will go wrong, you are waiting for fate to decide who will leave and go if you regret the loss...

This song really is the definition of going op against the odds and coming out on top

When you come to your childhood home and see the things that were magical to you once you were a kid turn into 'just stuff', and you just sit there, reminiscing

[@taylereasdon4765]

This song is pure perseverance. Through the grit and the pain you find, the way home.

[@Turtleproof]

JFC, the emotional urgency of this song.

[@oparysh]

I have been listening to this song every time something special happens in my life for 6 years now. It means a lot to me and every time I get goosebumps when I listen to it. Thank you, Magic Sword.

[@ashers3517]

Seriously one of Magic Sword's best songs. The overall intensity, epic synth lines, and mind-blowing drop make this piece an incredibly melancholic banger.

imagine lisening to it after school when summer break starts

[@wraith_2309]

The song that gives me determination to go forward

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

[@lobanosaur]

This song makes me feel that i can get through anything

[@lileuf3625]

for some reason this song in particular reminds me of the ending of Drive.

[@SanctuaryADO]

As a long time Hotline Miami fan, I've always loved this song. Fast forward to a few days ago when I'm playing the VR game Pistol Whip, and I find this song in the game. Genuinely, playing the level and shooting goons in time with the rhythm of this amazing emotional song with such a strong historical connection to my life since 2015 was a transcendent experience. I nearly cried.

[@jeffpower145]

I want this song to play when I die.

You're never too young for a HAWAII FLASHBACK...

[@pastatheh7041]

this song has a special place in my heart. it felt like the real last mission. i dont know how to explain everything..

[@Sr.CorvusDev]

As a Hotline Miami player, who is a man of blood and violence with no remorse, personally this song made me cry.

[@DoctaLegit]

This song is literally perfect.

[@dixie3601]

The Hawaiian levels were never my favorite, but Casualties is one of my favorite levels ever.

[@randomjoeooo]

Absolutely Fantastic! It's rare to find a tune that moves me now days. Love it.
