Our take on Midnight Ultra
The store presentation emphasizes speed, thrills, and a surreal setting, while the core game is explicitly limited to 2–3 hours. The announced update adds content, but its wording places those additions after the main story and presents them as upcoming rather than part of the current campaign.
What is Midnight Ultra?
Play as a lone witch hunter crossing the American Southwest to fight cultists, monsters, and other enemies in a first-person shooter.
Levels move from small towns to strange, dimension-spanning motels, with a neon-pixel visual style and an original western-inspired soundtrack. Combat combines one selected melee weapon with one ranged weapon, while health packs replace recharging shields. Double jumps and dodges support fast movement across platforms and around enemies. Unlockable color palettes alter the game's appearance, with a Halloween palette available from the start. The main game offers 2–3 hours of content. A planned free update is described as adding new weapons, enemies, maps, a two-part boss fight, music, visual themes, audio changes, melee revisions, and Mac and Linux support.
