The spiritual sequel to Bulletstorm!
There are a lot of Quake 1 clones lately like Dusk and Amid Evil, but Ultrakill is not one of them. This is a Devil-May-Cry-esque character action game crossed with the controls of an FPS. While you CAN hang back at a distance and plink enemies to death in the beginning, your score will be terrible and the tougher challenges ahead will eat you for lunch. Ultrakill is about getting right up in enemies faces, sending them as a group flying in the air, then detonating the lot with a grenade to shower you in healing blood and getting a massive boost to your style meter for a "fireworks" multikill. Movement abilities in this game are insane. Unlimited slide, 3 boost dashes (with air dash option) with a regenerating charge meter, triple wall jump, ground pound that does massive damage and sends the survivors flying into the air. But the more you dig into this game the more hidden depth it reveals. With perfect timing you can punch enemy bullets back at them with an explosive damage boost. But did you know that with even more perfect timing you can punch your own shotgun shells and give THEM an explosive damage boost as well? The more you dig, the more insane the options and the better your style score. Absolutely loving this demo and really looking forward to the final product on GOG. If you want something fast-paced and insane, you owe it to yourself to try this demo.
