Ultrakill (stylized as ULTRAKILL) is a first-person shooter platformer video game developed by Arsi "Hakita" Patala[1] and published by New Blood Interactive. It was released through Early Access on Steam for Microsoft Windows on September 3, 2020. The game uses retro-style graphics and movement capabilities similar to those of 1990s first-person shooters such as Quake and Doom. Plot In Ultrakill, the player controls V1, a machine that uses blood as a fuel source. After the extinction of humanity, the player descends through the layers of Hell in order to harvest the blood of the various creatures in hell. Along the way V1 encounters demons, the souls of the damned, rival machines also looking for blood, and angels. V1 also fights a multitude of bosses, including V2, which is a later created, alternate version of V1; King Minos (and Minos Prime), a defeated king of the Lust layer; Gabriel (named for the Abrahamic archangel), a supreme angel sent to stop V1; and a large serpent-like "Leviathan" in the ocean of Styx.
Gameplay Ultrakill is a first-person shooter which takes place in a series of levels based on Dante's layers of Hell. The player has access to 6 classes of weapons: the revolver, the shotgun, the nailgun, the railcannon, the rocket launcher and the arm, with each having multiple variants. The player can perform combos or do other stylish actions in order to build a style meter through eight ranks from D to ULTRAKILL and earn style points, similar to games such as Devil May Cry.[3]
At the end of each level the player will earn a letter grade rank from D to S in time, enemies killed, and total style points, which are then averaged to give an overall level rank. Completing a level without dying or reloading a checkpoint and with an S rank in all 3 categories will award the player with a P (for perfect) rank.
A key game mechanic in Ultrakill is the ability for the player to gain health by absorbing the fresh blood of damaged enemies. This is done by attacking enemies while next to them. However, certain other mechanics can prevent this, such as enemies covered in sand not dropping blood for the player to absorb.
Each level of Ultrakill contains hidden collectibles in the form of soul orbs and includes a challenge. Completing the challenge, finding all soul orbs, and getting the highest rank (P), will reward the player by making the level appear gold in the level select menu. The game is divided into a prelude and three acts, with the prelude containing one area (called a layer) with four levels and a boss, and each act containing three layers containing three levels and one major boss each.
Ultrakill also features an endless mode called the "Cyber Grind", where the player fights random waves of enemies over a floating arena which transforms after each wave. This mode awards the player with money upon completion, which can be used to purchase weapon mods at yellow terminals.
Reception As of 2 August 2021, Ultrakill had received over 10,000 Steam reviews with a score of 99%, making it the 15th highest rated game on Steam.[4][5] The game was praised for its movement mechanics and authenticity towards earlier arena shooters and first-person shooters.[3]
Christopher Livingston of PC Gamer described Ultrakill as faster and "even more metal than Doom Eternal" and commended the game for its verticality.[6]
