![]() The Cyber Grind's arena patterns, textures, skybox, and music can be altered by the player. ![]() This mode awards the player points upon completion, which can be used to purchase weapon mods and custom colors at yellow terminals. Ultrakill also features an endless mode called "The Cyber Grind", where the player fights randomized waves of enemies over a floating arena that transforms after each wave. ![]() ![]() Prime Sanctums contain one or more bosses that are a drastic step up in difficulty compared to the other levels within the act, with the second Prime Sanctum additionally containing a gauntlet of enemies before the bosses, contrary to the first exclusively containing two bosses for the player to fight. Obtaining a P rank on the Prime Sanctums is not required to progress to the next one. These prisons are created by angels to trap these souls. These Prime Souls are contained in a type of organic prison needing to be fought beforehand to fight the Prime Soul. Each Prime Sanctum contains a "Prime Soul", a soul whose sheer willpower and prominence gave them a physical form that does not require a Husk to manifest. Getting a P rank on every level within an act and prelude and locating a secret entrance will allow the player to enter the act's Prime Sanctum, with the next sequential Prime Sanctum needing the previous one to be cleared beforehand. These levels deviate from the traditional Ultrakill gameplay and opt for a spin or riff on other video games and video game genres, namely horror games, puzzle games, dating sims, Crash Bandicoot, and fishing. These levels can be found on certain layers through secret exits. Upon full completion of an entire layer or act, their respective background will become gold as well. Completing the challenge, finding all soul orbs, and getting a P rank, sometimes also referred to as a "P-rank", will reward the player by making the level appear gold in the level select menu. Most levels in Ultrakill contain hidden collectibles in the form of soul orbs and includes a challenge. This is the highest possible rank that can be achieved. Completing a level without dying or reloading back to a checkpoint, and with an S rank in all three categories, will award the player with a P rank. Īt the end of each level, the player will earn a letter grade rank from D to S in various categories (time, enemies killed, and total style points), which are then averaged to give an overall level rank. The duration for which the "hard damage" remains can be reduced if the player is playing stylishly (i.e., they have a style rank of Supreme or greater). The recovery of health can also be diminished by taking what is referred to as "hard damage", which temporarily reduces the maximum amount of health the player can have. However, certain other mechanics can prevent or affect this, such as enemies covered in sand not bleeding, or water diluting blood when an enemy is killed underwater, making said blood easier to pick up, but reducing the amount healed. Destructive is the easiest style to achieve, and ULTRAKILL is the hardest due to the need for constant acquisition of style points.Ī key game mechanic in Ultrakill is the ability for the player to regain lost health by absorbing the fresh blood of damaged enemies, done by damaging or killing enemies while near them or performing a parry on certain enemy attacks with the Feedbacker arm or a precise shotgun blast to the enemy's torso. The player can perform combos or do other stylish actions in order to build a style meter through eight ranks: Destructive, Chaotic, Brutal, Anarchic, Supreme, SSadistic, SSShitstorm and ULTRAKILL, while earning style points, similar to games such as Devil May Cry. Each of these weapons has multiple variants, and some have alternate forms (such as turning the nailgun into a sawblade launcher). The player has access to six weapons: a revolver, shotgun, nailgun, railcannon, rocket launcher, and their left arm. The main antagonist and boss in the very last level of every act is the Archangel Gabriel. The last level of the prelude and any given layer is focused on a boss. The prelude contains one more level for a total of five. Each act has 3 layers, the first two layers of an act contain four levels each, and the last only having two. The game is divided into a prelude and three acts. Ultrakill's gameplay takes place in a series of levels heavily inspired by Dante's layers of Hell. The game uses retro-style graphics and movement capabilities reminiscent of 1990s first-person shooters such as Quake and Doom. It was first released on Steam through Early Access for Microsoft Windows on September 3, 2020. Ultrakill (stylized in all caps as ULTRAKILL) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Arsi "Hakita" Patala and published by New Blood Interactive.
