A 2.5D slasher platformer created by Swery 65 and Suda 51. Hotel Barcelona's protagonist is stuck in a time loop, the only way out leading through torrents of spilled blood.
Hotel Barcelona is a humorous platformer and a parody of the horror genre. It was developed by White Owls and is the result of collaboration between two experienced developers - Hidetaka Suehiro, known as Swery 65, and Goichi Suda, known as Suda 51.
The protagonist of Hotel Barcelona is stuck in a time loop. The only way out leads through hordes of enemies and hectoliters of spilled blood.
Hotel Barcelona is a side-scroller, tasking the player with moving to the right and mowing down enemy hordes. Our opponents are inspired by popular horror movies, ranging from serial killers, aliens, otherworldly creatures and giant mutated sharks. Combat is fast-paced, requiring constant movement, dodging, blocking, chaining melee attacks into combos and firing away at distant enemies. In-between combat encounters, there's plenty of platforming to be had.
Hotel Barcelona features simple, though colorful, cartoonish 2.5D visuals. The game is rather violent and gruesome, but in an over-the-top, parodic way.

Game Ratings for Hotel Barcelona Video Game.
DualShockers: 6.5 / 10
With Hotel Barcelona, I feel as though both Suda and Swery's typical shortcomings are multiplying against each other, resulting in a game that has good bones and a fun, wacky premise, but falls well short on actual execution. If a game with this kind of slow, sticky gameplay and graphical shortcomings came from any other directors, it probably wouldn't be on my radar.
Console Creatures: 7 / 10 by Bobby Pashalidis
While a bit uneven, Hotel Barcelona is a blast to play. It starts a bit rough, but as more upgrades and abilities become available, the creativity behind the game really shines through.
GamesRadar+: 2 / 5 by Joe Chivers
Enemies are lacking in character, all drawn from the B-movie guide to horror monsters.
