Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is the direct follow-up to the first game, serving as a sequel, a sidequel and a prequel. This time the narrative is centered around a bigger cast of characters who each have their own point of view regarding the events of the series. Most of the gameplay mechanics are intact and players get to experiment with new weapons, new and more gory finishing moves and a complete story arc that concludes the series. The game has an immensely popular Soundtrack from a much wider variety of Artists than the first game, with many of the original game's artists returning to provide several new tracks. New tweaks and variations to normal gameplay have been added, including Manny Pardo's ability to execute with guns, and Evan's ability to take levels without killing and carry combos by unloading guns. Wrong Numberfeatures several new weapons, and largely (but not entirely) removes Hotline Miami's rarely-used throwing-exclusive weapons. Emphasis on firearms is greatly increased by characters like Pardo and the Soldier. The difficulty has increased dramatically as well, and the game features a Hard Mode for players looking to boost the challenge further, which can only be unlocked when the player beats the game. On Hard, enemies are faster and more reactive, enemy-locking is removed, gun ammo is halved upon player pick up (rounded down if uneven), and the level is inverted, with increased enemies and windows, and fewer doors. Hard Mode also features a greatly increased amount of Thugs as well as Dodgers, a new enemy class in Wrong Number. The Level Editor is now out of Beta, and currently available upon purchase of the normal and deluxe editions of the game for free.
