Steam artwork — ULTRAKILL
Quick read

ULTRAKILL is a style-rank FPS where movement is the magazine and blood is the reload you earn by staying in the room. A letter is the loot, and the corridor is a song someone wrote.

What kind of game is it?

Authored levels, blood as ammo, ranks. You aim. A horde survivor would play the gun for you; this one asks for a style letter on a corridor someone wrote, and the next sitting is the same room with a cleaner dash.

Who is it for?

For players who prefer a style meter and a room they clear at full speed.
