ULTRAKILL is a blisteringly fast, stylish retro shooter with deep movement, great weapons and a standout soundtrack. Skip it if you dislike steep difficulty, or want a polished Layer 8 (Fraud).
Great for
Players who love fast, skill-based shooters, style ranking, P-rank grinding and heavy metal soundtracks
Main risk
Brutal difficulty spikes, especially in Layer 8 (Fraud), which also has performance problems
