what is ultrakill?
Ultrakill is a first-person shooter video game developed by Arsi "Hakita" Patala and published by New Blood Interactive. It was released on Steam through Early Access for Microsoft Windows on September 3, 2020. The game uses retro-style graphics reminiscent of video games from the PlayStation and combines the modern movement mechanics like those of Titanfall and Doom Eternal with gameplay elements from character action games like Devil May Cry.
Ultrakill is a fast-paced first-person shooter with emphasis on movement and varied techniques. The player must quickly make their way through an interpretation of Dante's layers of Hell, each layer being divided into multiple levels. The player defeats enemies using an arsenal of weapons and various robotic arms, each having unique interactions with each other. Many of the advanced techniques in the game come from these interactions.
Another key mechanic in Ultrakill is the ability to heal by absorbing the blood of enemies through close-range combat. This discourages evasive tactics and rewards the player for making bold moves. The player can also heal by parrying enemy attacks and projectiles.
Throughout the game, the player's performance is judged by a "style meter", similar to games such as Devil May Cry. The style meter rewards the player for performing advanced and flashy moves, as well as encouraging aerial manoeuvering and quickly swapping between weapons. At the end of each level, the player's style ranking is combined with time taken and number of kills to determine a letter grade for that run. Achieving an S rank in all 3 categories without dying throughout that run will earn the player a P rank, the highest possible rank for a level.
Ultrakill has a wealth of secrets the player can discover through exploring levels or earning P ranks in a certain amount of levels. In addition to the main campaign, Ultrakill has an endless survival mode called "The Cyber Grind", and a sandbox mode in which the player can spawn enemies and various objects.
In the future, humanity has been rendered extinct and God has disappeared, leaving Heaven without a ruler. Due to the exhaustion of blood sources on Earth, several blood-fuelled machines, among them the player character V1, have gone to Hell (the entrance of which was discovered by humans prior to their extinction) in search for blood. Throughout its journey, V1 fights manifestations of the souls of the damned, demons, angels, and competing machines while travelling further down the layers of Hell. The first act culminates in a fight against the archangel Gabriel. Following his defeat at the hands of V1, the council of Heaven, who have begun to rule Heaven in God's absence, declare Gabriel a traitor and strip him of his holy light, leaving him with 24 hours to live.
V1 continues its descent into hell, doing battle with various enemies along the way. Gabriel returns at the end of the second act in the City of Dis, enraged due to his previous loss. In the midst of the battle, Gabriel realises that he is beginning to enjoy the fight as V1 is the first adversary to present him with a real challenge. After the battle, he reflects on his losses and realises the council of Heaven have lost their way in the absence of God and have been using him to carry out their own agendas. He vows to act on his own terms and proceeds to kill the members of the council and bear one of their decapitated heads to the citizens of Heaven.
The game was praised for its movement mechanics and authenticity towards earlier arena shooters and first-person shooters. Christopher Livingston of PC Gamer described Ultrakill as faster and "even more metal than Doom Eternal" and commended the game for its verticality. It was also described as "[moving] like turbo Doom Eternal", in another PC Gamer article by Dominic Tarason, who noted that it "looks like a PSX game". It was also reviewed by Peter Glasgowski of TheGamer, who wrote that "...Ultrakill ticked off every box for me."
On December 8, 2022, Ultrakill gained official controller rumble support, under the guise of being sex toy support. Its developer released an official mod called UKbutt, adding support for a plugin called buttplug.io. The mod was created by Ultrakill programmer PITR and buttplug.io lead Kyle "qDot" Machulis. New Blood CEO Dave Oshry remarked that "at no point when originally testing or discussing the game with Hakita or anyone at [New Blood] were any of us like 'they're gonna want sex'." The mod was met with a wave of positive user reviews.
