Looking for an hour long, ultra stylized FPS with interesting level design but stiff controls ? Look no further. I didn't hate my time with Midnight Ultra per se, but once i beat it i felt no urge to replay it (which the game seems to encourage, what with its various colour schemes and weapons to chose from on the main menu). The levels are always visually interesting but their design varies in quality in the same way a rollercoaster varies in altitude. One time you'll be gradually climbing a tower, getting shot from all angles and managing both platforming and shooting as best as you can, the next you'll be struggling through a (literal) maze of corridors with barely any enemies to fight. Midnight Ultra struggles to mix interesting gameplay and surreal level design / setpieces in a way that lets you enjoy both of them at the same time, and when it does succeed it's much too short lived. if you buy this game, do so for the experience rather than the game itself. Disclaimer: this r...

Textbook case of a game with potential but not enough polish to make it enjoyable. Combat feels like I am just lining up the mouse and sometimes my clicks register as "damage". There is little feedback, slow input(melee seems to have a cooldown for some reason. Would rather have long attack animation than quick one with waiting afterwards.) Everything feels sluggish and static. The platforming is decent, I haven't had any frusturation with getting where I wanted to go. Also doesn't feel that well tested, I often run out of ammo while using only 1-2 shots per enemy, so then I just sit there and spam melee for the rest of the level. Music is nice and the graphical style is neat, though I honestly would prefer a non 4:3 screen aspect and a larger resolution but I guess that it's trying to go for a game boy-ey aesthetic. If the developer polishes it up and adds more feedback, I would try it again but for now it's just a frusturating game.

It's alright. The art here is good and all, just not that fun to play.

How can you release an Fps game without giving the option to revert the y-axis? The actual shooting doesn't feel satisfying at all. Enemies don't react to hits and there are no indicators so you are left wondering if you even hit them. The crosshairs are way too big so that you will have to look down a bit most of the time to see anything. The enemy A.I also is quite broken at the moment. They often run in circles, run away, get stuck in obstacles or won't aggro at all. There are no options for graphics, screen-size, mouse sensitivity, controller support (only the left stick worked), V-Sync, dual monitors, sound and music etc.

Mostly style, not much substance, but I'm ok with that. If you're down for a little experiment 'how would fpp shooter look with CGA-like graphics', give it a try, it's cheap after all :) Otherwise, not much point in bothering, I guess.

Guns feel like they shoot air, melee rarely connects. lost interest once I got past the visuals. Looks pretty, but goddamn, there is nothing in the gameplay that makes you wanna stay, which is kinda the whole point of a videogame.

I'm not sure i 'get' Midnight Ultra. Is it style over substance? Is it hipster? Is it a masterpeice? Maybe it's none of those things. All I know is that after about 5 minutes my eyes and ears hurt. The graphics are bizarrely offensive, looking sort of like one of those blocky pixel-art peices made on a C64 in motion. Stunning and evocative in screenshots, stomach-churning in motion. It's also not very condusive to a twitch FPS. Half the time I can't see what I'm shooting until it's a foot in front of me gouging my bowels from my gut. Generally finding it hard to visually understand the game world is something I can't give a thumbs up for really. The music is a matter of taste. I think it's garbage but you may enjoy a repeated guitar riff attempting to envoke Wild West themes. The other sound is in keeping with the visuals but does nothing too exciting. I'm not sure who Midnight Ultra is for. My gut tells me this is an art school project made by Hotline Miami and Superhot fans who ga...

Aside from the fact that the games visuals made my head spin the game just isn't very fun to begin with. Shooting just doesn't feel impactful at all and certain enemies take way to many bullets to put down. I've seen people compare this game to the legends like Doom or Quake but those people obviously haven't played those games because they'd know that they are much better games than this. At least in those games the guns felt powerful and the shooting was satisfying. Shame cause this game has potential to be good. If you want to play a game that embodies 90s FPS games then check out DUSK instead.

Midnight Ultra is definitely worth checking out for anyone who's a fan of Doom/Quake/Wolfenstein 3d, or any entry in the long list of ports and clones of the three. At the moment, it's not the longest or deepest game, but it's a solid treat that touches the essesnce of what made those classics revered in the first place (in all the best and worst ways). At it's best, it's a challenging FPS with a wild, cell shaded look that feels just like a 3d shooter from the early 90s. At it's worst... it's a 3d shooter from the early 90s. Ironically what makes the game kind of great is how legitimate it feels. The shooting is solid, the maps feel authentic, and the art style is low poly but well rendered. There's also sometimes moments where you get turned around in the similarly textured corridors, get killed by that one enemy that looks like it's part of the wall, and for some reason just can't manage to aim that one double jump correctly, no matter how hard you try. The devs obviously took th...
