Midnight Fight Express

"All in all, Midnight Fight Express is a nice adrenaline-fuelled ride that offers players simple but challenging gameplay, great backgrounds, and more. While it has a few gameplay issues and isn&s;t too long to beat at about 8 hours, the …"

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

"The soundtrack blasts your ears with grimy hype up beats that rocks the combat even more than it does on its own. There&s;s a very obvious issue with a bland story that puts a halt to the game but there&s;s …"

"Midnight Fight Express is a game about kicks and punches with its own style. You may find yourself shaking your head as the game&s;s soundtrack plays. But unfortunately, something is missing in gameplay."

"An interesting beat&s;em up that introduces some very cool ideas in a very brutal way. It&s;s an engrossing trip of violence, albeit a lonely one."

"Midnight Fight Express has a lot of personality and can be fun for a bit. However, when a game is built almost entirely around combat, you need that combat to feel great, and here it just feels okay. Its various …"

"Midnight Fight Express understands its nature and audience, excelling in every way. The combat is smooth and creative, the overall style is amusing and self-aware, and the adrenaline of its music and pacing is very appealing. This is, surprisingly, a …"

"Although the gunplay felt solid and there&s;s a lot of replayability, Midnight Fight Express&s; sloppy controls, poor story, and rather mediocre graphics make for an average-at-best experience."

"Failing to be consistent from start to finish and having gameplay issues from time to time, Midnight Fight Express is an action game with good combat totally removed from any possible logic and sanity."

"Midnight Fight Express is a beat &s;em up that should feel familiar to genre fans, but does things so well that it doesn&s;t matter. Fast and brutal, the game is a satisfying and bloody journey of revenge."

"From kinetic combat to the occasional fun Easter egg, it gets so much about the genre right. Unfortunately, the game severely lags in the elements that most other games in the genre get right. If you&s;ve already burned through Sifu, …"

"Midnight Fight Express is a solid beat-&s;em-up. The base move set is enough to make you feel dangerous, but a fully kitted out character makes you feel invincible. The combat is appropriately crunchy, and the game doesn&s;t wear out its …"

"Midnight Fight Express is a short and brutal fight that doesn&s;t overstay its welcome. You&s;ll definitely come out of it with more than a few scrapes, but it&s;s all worth it just to watch the sun rise at the end."

"Midnight Fight Express is a brutal beat &s;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 …"

"Midnight Fight Express is a solid beat &s;em up that offers more than one would expect. While it would be nice to see some added accessibility options in future updates, it&s;s still possible to get through each of the game&s;s …"

"Midnight Fight Express captures the action synonymous with films like The Raid. Combat feels great and includes enough depth to pull off technical combos but is also simple and accessible for newcomers to the genre. The story is a miss-fire …"

"Midnight Fight Express is a surprisingly fun and rewarding beat-em-up that gives you more choices than you might expect."

"If you&s;re the sort of person who saw martial arts movies in your teens (or younger) and immediately started mimicking scraps with your best mates as you left the cinema, then Midnight Fight Express is for you. Jacob Dwinzel feels …"

"If you’ve ever dreamt of a beat-em-up that would effectively flow and feel like John Wick this gets really close"

"Midnight Fight Express is another great beat ‘em up in a year where we’ve already seen quite a few. The combat system is beauty in motion and levels are highly replayable thanks to the ranking system, diverse amount of attack …"

"Midnight Fight Express attracts attention with its successful combat system, but can&s;t keep the attention it draws for a long time. It&s;s an action-packed and fun game, but unfortunately that&s;s all there is, nothing more, nothing less."

"While Midnight Fight Express falters when it comes to keeping things fresh, there&s;s still enough of a nicely-twisted plot, impressive levels with great action setpieces, and a terrific techno soundtrack that goes alongside the fast-paced combat to keep things enjoyable …"

"Midnight Fight Express offers players the tools to recreate their own John Wick-inspired action scenes while sporting the skins of their enemies. The replayability factor is there for players wanting to achieve S-rank or complete all level challenges. Despite its …"

"Midnight Fight Express is an adrenaline brawler that gives a remarkable freedom of approach to the player."

"Midnight Fight Express is a dynamic and frenetic fighting game that makes the player feel like the protagonist of an action movie. Despite not being perfect and having some balance issues and excessive unnecessary dialogue, the surprising variety of content …"

"Midnight Fight Express needed more focus to realize its potential. Constantly throwing out different hazards and enemy types at a dizzying pace doesn’t work if the foundation is rocky, and confusing variety for quality is one of its structural problems."

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

"Playing as Babyface with such smoothly animated mocap and fluent combo chains feels powerful. Being able to charge through levels, using everything in sight to bounce off goons like a martial arts master is an unstoppable sensation. Sure, the story …"

"Overall though, 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 …"

"Midnight Fight Express is a modern beat-&s;em-up with extensive motion-captured animations that bring its frenetic combat to life with wince-inducing satisfaction."

"Midnight Fight Express is built around its encounters, yet does nothing to build them in meaningful ways. This train is going nowhere fast."

"It’s easy to recommend Midnight Fight Express. For one thing, it’ll launch into Game Pass on the day of its release, August 23. But even if Game Pass wasn’t a factor, it would still be worth buying for just how …"

"Midnight Fight Express does nothing new but it does not really need to, while it can get bogged down by its boring ranged combat it is more than propped by its engaging and really fun hand-to-hand combat, good soundtrack, and …"

"A great update on the 90&s;s beat &s;em concept with bone-crunching, motion captured moves that feel weighty and solid. Midnight Fight Express makes you feel like a bad ass, something very few beat &s;em ups manage."

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

"Midnight Fight Express wants you to be the actor, director, producer, and choreographer of your own action movie all at once, and it absolutely nails that aspect. As I made my way through the city, I found myself wishing the …"

"Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy them a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled."

"A fine action flick, but it really flaws with its dull postmodern efforts."
