Midnight Fight Express Gets Brutal New Combat Trailer

Created by a former Destiny 2 writer and previous stunt performer for 2018's God of War, Midnight Fight Express promises a brutal, fast combat experience with plenty of close-quarters battles. The game was initially unveiled back at Gamescom 2021, and now, a year later, it is gearing up for release.

The similarities between Midnight Fight Express and Hotline Miami are clear to see for fans of the latter, especially given the top-down perspective of Midnight Fight Express and the newer game's use of unique masks in its customization. However, as shown in its new, three-minute trailer, Midnight Fight Express has a much more in-depth combat system than Hotline Miami, which would only allow for simple fights that either ended in the masked protagonist killing an enemy in one hit or with the player frantically hitting the reset button to try again.

These fights can be enhanced by the skills in Midnight Fight Express, which will unlock new moves and upgrade the playable character. Without any upgrades, there are still some interesting mechanics, such as the ability to counter an opponent, similarly to the moves seen in the Batman: Arkham games.
