    This is exactly my kind of game that has a great fighting system with an insane variety of martial arts moves. Love how you can use the environment to your advantage as well, and you can pick up lots of different types of weapons.

You can tell all the animations were done using motion capture, it is extremely well made. The levels offer some nice changes also, sometimes you are evading helicopters, there is vehicular combat and of course plenty of boss battles. If you love games like Sifu or the Batman Arkham series you will love the combat! In my opinion this is a must play for action game fans.… Expand

    This is a better game than most AAA games out there. Phenomenal combat and progression (a mix between Arkham and Sleeping dogs). Given that its only $20 and it's and indie game, it's a solid 9 in my book.

    Midnight Fight Express is a John Wick-esque, top down, beat em up game. If you liked how Sifu plays, this one is definitely a must try, except it has a better level design. Besides the forgettable, incoherent story and the more than infrequent artificial difficulty in some levels, I couldn't find a reason to not give this one an almost perfect score in the arcade-y mindless fun category.Midnight Fight Express is a John Wick-esque, top down, beat em up game.

    Addictive, adrenaline-filled action-packed dopamine hit, especially in shorter bursts.    … Expand

    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 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

    This and those indie games that beat the big developers midnight fight express and insane, it reminds a lot of Sleeping dogs, hotline miami, my friend Pedro
    Great physics, perfect violence for the game.

    The only negative part of the game is the difficulty because there are missions that you will die so much that the game loses the fun and starts to get stressful!

    Good fights, the game offers great fight scenes and missions that you can replay without getting bored but the game is a bit tricky. If you like fighting games then you'll love this game.

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

    People who've played Mad Max or any of the Arkham games will feel right at home, as you get violently beaten to death by dozens of gang members. 10/10

    This game was surprisingly amazing and had me invested in the story, the gameplay is fun, the finishers are brutal, and the main characters are lovable even if one of them doesn’t talk

    Love kicking and punching the enemies. I love the visuals. The environments are pretty. The music is great, good beats. Overall great game. Would love to play a sequel or DLC since the end of the game hinted there's more to the story.

    Great beat em up, makes you feel like john wick, It's really fun. The pacing is slightly off, but those moments are few and far between. Lots of references and silly jokes that add to the great experience of an already awesome game. Definitely worth picking up. Oh and the soundtrack is super good too.

    Midnight Fight Express is a great fighting game, simple, yet varied and inventive. There’s also loads of pop culture references and a crazy story, even if the narrative loses its way a bit near the end.

    Midnight Fight Express is an intense button masher brawler that gets repetitive too quickly, but it’s still fun and actually quite deep.

    Midnight Fight Express is a brutal beat ‘em up whose only goal, despite a story with a weird plot, is to slaughter enemy after enemy. Really enjoyable in the early levels when each new skill learned improves the way you fight, it becomes repetitive when you try to complete the secondary challeng-es, which require players to retry a lof of times the same game sequences. Those seeking for perfect completion of the game, however, will find a tough challenge, as the unlockable techniques are quite a lot and all beautifully animated. To be played at a very loud volume to get even more exalt-ed.
