New Blood shooter Ultrakill has launched an thrilling vacation replace. The high-flying Doom Everlasting come character motion riff launched the primary a part of its third and closing act: Layer 7, Violence.
Even because the boomer shooter renaissance presses ever onward, Ultrakill stays a singular FPS. For my cash, it is the mixture of acrobatic motion with some really gorgeous ranges and an anarchic sensibility for jokes, hidden phases, and secret ranges that basically units developer Hakita’s creation aside.
My favourite stage from its earlier acts is a stately cruise ship in Layer 5: Wrath. The extent sees you first going by the ship rightside-up, with a curve ball second half requiring you to discover the upside-down vessel because it sinks into an unlimited, hellish ocean.
That custom of knockout ranges appears alive and properly within the new layer. Violence is ready in a airplane of huge, bone-white Hellenistic temples—it seems like these desolate white cities that determine within the weirder components of NieR Automata. What I’ve seen of the layer’s later parts seems prefer it drives this idea to ever extra surreal, unsettling locations, and I am unable to wait to test it out myself.
Ultrakill has two layers left to launch in its third and closing act: Fraud and Treachery. We do not but have a date for Ultrakill’s full launch, however given the tempo of improvement to this point, we would see the shooter’s 1.0 launch by the tip of the 12 months. You possibly can presently get Ultrakill in early entry for 25% off as a part of the Steam Winter Sale.
