    With combat that’s as brutal as it is satisfying and a progression system that truly makes you feel like you’re mastering you’re the craft of kicking arse, Midnight Fight Express is a brawler that surpasses most and challenges those at the top of the genre.

    The game loop is incredibly addictive and you can return to any of the short missions at any time with all your upgrades, increase the difficulty, skip all dialogue and try to climb as high as you can on the leaderboard. The plot in the game is not the most interesting, but these games are addictive just not the plot. If you like games like: Hotline Miami, John Wick, Police Stories, Party Hard, you should try this game.

    Addictive gameplay challenges and a smorgasbord of enemies, game mechanics, and locations make Midnight Fight Express a superb indie brawler.

    There’s a hell of a lot to like about Midnight Fight Express. While it has a few issues that are likely to bring you out of the experience, the fluidity and brutality of the combat will win you over. This is a game that’s simply a joy to play for the most part, with some neat ideas and a beat-heavy soundtrack thrown in for good measure. If you want to beat up large numbers of goons while feeling like a badass, look no further.

    While it has a few gameplay issues and isn't too long to beat at about 8 hours, the game still provides a great experience beat 'em up fans will especially enjoy.

    Midnight Fight Express will largely appeal to movie fanatics, as the beat 'em up combat encapsulates the feeling of one big movie-action sequence with its adrenaline-induced gameplay.

    Essentially, Midnight Fight Express’s approach to enemy behaviour echoes the approach of challenging retro arcade brawlers, but its more grounded fighting mechanics don’t feel suitable for the pace. And it’s this off-kilter balance between your character’s own ability, the effectiveness of environmental weapons, and the aggressiveness of the enemies that is ultimately to the detriment of its longer-term gratification.

    A great combat game that is simple to start and gains complexity with moves unlocked. A lot of updates from developer!

    This is a great indie hit and I haven't enjoyed these fighting games for a long time, fun and non-repetitive combat moves, very good lookingThis is a great indie hit and I haven't enjoyed these fighting games for a long time, fun and non-repetitive combat moves, very good looking and satisfying battles, well designed levels, enemies. It's very challenging but maybe a little difficult. The game feels like watching a lot of Hollywood fight movies and the game picks up scenes from other games and it looks good but it's full of fun. The good point of the game is that it's not just a fighting game, but we have to use our thinking and our skills. Overall, anyone who likes fighting games and has a Hollywood vibe, this game will like them. You are little and don't miss it. Expand

    Not fun, imbalanced, frustrating, piece of sh*t. Heavy difficulty spikes ruin the whole experience.
