Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

What players say

Extremely fun game, and I had a blast. I'm not usually one for fast paced shooter games, but this one clicks in my brain for some reason. The gameplay is very good, and has a ridiculous skill ceiling, with tons of ludicrously overpowered combinations that can be pulled off when you no life the game. Ultrakill does a very good job of introducing you to all its basic mechanics, but all the fancy ones have to either be...

Saw it a lot on youtube all of a sudden and decided to play it. Best financial desicion of time. Also if you're sensitive to blood and/or gore, there's a setting to disable both of those things (or if you don't like guns in general, don't get this game). So get ultrakilling*tm while you can.
