To be precise, it targets weal point of an enemy, if there is one around. Otherwise it just targets closest enemy. And that not diving deeper into coin chaining, splitting shots, different behavior of different revolvers and other weapons...
With Gabriel he legit, got the ACTUAL voice actor of him in the game to say these lines, his name is Gianni and he’s the best voice actor since he makes memes
@@FrameOneAlex Gianni actually appears in Max0r's video not for the first time. "I MADE IT THE FUCK UP" aka Senator Armtstrong is also done by him. Apparently this guy such a shitposter he was willing to work with Max0r for free but Max0r still insisted on paying him properly.
The thing about ULTRAKILL's secret levels is that they're meant to be entirely different genres from the main game. S-1 is horror S-2 is puzzles S-3 is a visual novel / dating sim-esque S-4 is literally just crash bandicoot S-5 hasn't been made yet, but is confirmed to be about fishing
The style of the game was made to look retro in the sense to look like an art style that would fit in with things like doom and quake since it's designed to be a what people have called the genre "Boomer Shooter"
honestly, a lot of modern game development is obsessed with the "Graphics arms race" and photo-realism as a first priority over meaningful art direction or cohesion these days. A boring and poorly composed background with incompetently choreographed actors isn't going to look beautiful just because I can make out more of the pores on their nose. As well, there are plenty of art styles that just don't really benefit much from upping the graphical intensity. It should be evidently a matter of diminishing returns, but everyone is OBSESSED with pushing the envelope, and the consumer's mind is practically brainwashed into thinking that the scale of good looking is a matter of how many particle effects can be rendered at once.
There's actually lore for this as well, the reason why everything looks so low quality is because V1 traded their graphics for more processing speed. (Or something along those lines)
Hit box is pretty good tbh. A certain enemy has a head on its shoulder and hitting that counts as a headshot. Most weapons are hitscan, but the shotgun is a projectile, which is why it can be punched
Max0r should not be taken seriously. He's like the clown at a funeral. Like doom, you heal by fresh blood spilt on you, each weapon has a few variations, like the pistol being either a charge or the coin, and it's a fucking shitshow and it's amazing.
The shotgun parry thing was originally a bug, but the dev and the community both loved it. They added points for doing it and everything. Also youre talking about the visuals, if you actually play it trust me it isnt bad looking, Max0rs editing just doesnt let you see it very well
I love when devs lean into things like that hahah, it really shows that they're in tune with their community. And yeah I've had some other people comment on how the game actually looks quit good when you play it!
6:55. So quick thing regarding the coins: They have 2 “states” as I call them. Coin “Flash” and “Sing”. For “Flash” the coin flashes after a quarter of a second after it’s tossed and when shot with the default Marksman revolver, it will split the bullet and hit two enemies at once. For “Sing”, you can hear the coin “sing” after about a second after it’s in the air and when shot splits the bullet and hits two enemies at once. Also, the default Railcannon and the Malicious Railcannon can be redirected with the coins to increase their damage. Edit: Oh, one more thing. Punching the Shotgun bullets was, at first, a glitch which was then turned into a feature cause it was fun. The devs even made it part of the style meter called “Projectile Boost”.
Yeah some people also mentioned it’s more akin to doom as well than souls and i definitely see it. I think i saw the giant boss HP bars and immediately thought souls 😂
The "Cancerous Rodent / Very Cancerous Rodent" and the dungeon in which they're found is a reference to Civvie 11, a youtuber who mainly covers retro FPS games.
There is a lot of nuance in Ultrakill For example, coins. Basic level is shooting them in the air, making the shot home in on the nearest(?) enemy's weakpoint. Intermediate level is shooting the coin when it glimmers for a split second, adding additional AoE damage, just like when you parry. Advanced level is throwing multiple coins through and ahead of the enemy so that the shot would go through the enemy several times, bouncing between the coins. You can also juggle a coin with your punch, multiplying damage it will deal when you shoot it (previously didn't have a cap on the multiplier so people would juggle it in cutscenes and instakill bosses)
7:51 The whole thing with punching the core eject from the shotgun was originally a bug with the coding but when the dev found out about it from someone who were playing the game, it was simply kept as a gimmick.
The screaming of the fire enimes are infact edited in. And Max0r doesn't voice God at the end, in Ultrakills setting God is absent. The game is made in Unity by the way.
12:06 that is a UC-9-a folding SMG. ForgottenWeapons is a good informational source for guns, I'd say to react to him, but he's kinda serious and _occasionally_ attempts humor. Not a lot, but some videos have some.
"It kinda looks like Doom" To be completely honest, if the game wasnt so short, I would consider it as Doom Eternal but better. Everything Doom Eternal did aside from graphics and animation type stuff, Ultrakill has a better version of. It is so good. Plays like Dark Souls meets Doom Eternal for sure. My literal only complaint is that the game is very short
There is actually an in universe explanation as to why the game looks the way it does. V1 is a robot, and because it needs to make decisions as fast as it does it lowers the graphical data it processes so that the other systems can work harder, thus making the world look low-poly
@@FrameOneAlex Just be you imo, just don't put so much pressure on yourself but i do understand of why you have these comments but at the same time you can't be what they want, good video btw.
21:00 Each weapon has different modes which changes how they behave and you can switch between them with the press of a button but there are some secret variations which can only be switched between at the terminals
Just in case no one mentioned it, you may be confusing two kings. There is King Midas, who was cursed with the golden touch. And then there is King *Minos* (me-nos, like in Minotaur, who is literally Bull of Minos), who had the labyrinth with the bull monster inside.
Ahh yeah i probably misspoke / was confused in the video 😂 I knew who king midas was cause of some references to his golden touch in various video games, but I didn’t know that minos was the guy with the labyrinth and the minotaur! (Which makes sense now lol minos -> minotaur) The only other reference i had of minos was from an old god of war game from way back in the day 😂 Thanks for the info & lore man 👌🏼
@@FrameOneAlex It's okay, man. There are mistakes much less common and much more invasive than this one. At some point ages ago people began confusing Kronos (the father of Zeus and other Olympians, patron of farming) and Chronos (time incarnate), making both be one and the same. Ever since we have depictions of the old Titan wielding a sickle also being able to control time.
Ultrakill does have some Souls characteristics for the boss fights, but an older and more fitting example of an "FPS Souls game" would be Remnant: From the Ashes (2019) (great game btw, highly recommend). As some people have already said, Ultrakill is much closer to Doom than the Souls games, in both gameplay and structure
Yeah after rewatching some parts of the video i can definitely understand how it’s more like doom than souls, i guess aside than the boss fight comparison like you mentioned! Also, someone else mentioned remnant too so i need to do some research 👀
Nah the game doesnt run on Source, its actually a Unity game. That said, the games sandbox map you can chill in is literally a slightly modified version of gm_construct from gmod
Minos prime is a boss, and he’s located behind a door that only opens if you perfect rank every act 1 level and take a detour in gluttony. You probably remembered him is two characters. Learning his voice lines is actually part of the boss fight, because they all correspond to certain attacks and he’s ridiculously fast and mostly unparriable.
I've been playing ULTRAKILL for a wile and have gotten pretty good at it. Good enough get to Level 28 in the Cybergrind. But I died after about 9secs being in Level 28. But during those 9secs the chaos that ensued was close to how chaotic Max0r's review of the game is.
Ultrakill's graphic design is intentionally retro, it tries to simulate a playstation 1 game's artstyle, hence why it's not graphically impressive or anything.
Also, it's really nothing like dark souls, that's a really meme comparison to anything by this point lol This game is more like quake, and weirdly enough Devil May Cry.
unlike doom you cant customize weapons, there is only five weapons(as of now) each with a max of four variants(not all of these variants are out yet),you could choose to leave out variants but you have them all on the go and you change the variant with e(variant also changes the colour of the ui and any screens or neon on the gun to match what it does). There are also two alternate guns,one is a slow reload higher damage revolver that instead of splitting the shot when hitting the coin on the right time it just hits more times the same enemy,the other alternate gun is for the nailgun,this is a sawblade launcher that shoots...well it shoots sawblades,these are mostly used for traps as they spin around magnets(thrown by the gun) and do a lot of damage on the area
What actually happens in ULTRAKILL: Think of Doom mixed with Devil May Cry. What happens after the fight with Gabriel is that the light from Heaven that he was gifted is torn from his body. The Corpse of King Minos was a corpse that has been infested with parasites. Gabriel killed King Minos, only for him to be infested. As you probably already know, you're playing as V1. V2 is the "Shadow Link" of ULTRAKILL. V1 is literally V2, just blue. There's also a *LOT* of extra shit in this game that Max0r didn't even mention.
When you compare the game to doom eternal I have a seizure for about 30 second every time you compare it Edit: I’m not being mean it’s just it’s true every time you do that it hurts my soul
ULTRAKILL is the best $25 ive ever spent, so my sugestion is just go play it Also headshots exist for hitscan weapons, shotgun isnt hitscan, coins target one enemy(with more damage) unless you time it right then it targets 2, some of the screaming from the fire enemies was edited and some wasnt, also gabes voice ingame and in the vid are the same dude(gianni matragrano(i think thats how thats spelled)), you can use the computer to buy weapon varients, then you get to have them all at once and switch between them whenever you want, and other shit

Shooting a coin does not hit everyone around you, but it autotargets a nearby enemy and is (as far as I know) a guaranteed critical hit
To be precise, it targets weal point of an enemy, if there is one around. Otherwise it just targets closest enemy. And that not diving deeper into coin chaining, splitting shots, different behavior of different revolvers and other weapons...
It has a whole priority list, coins will aim at shotgun cores, then other coins, then heads, then limbs, then bodies, in roughly that order.
Basically what he said
@@ccproductions5262 I'm pretty sure other coins are at the top of the priority list.

The thing about ULTRAKILL's secret levels is that they're meant to be entirely different genres from the main game.
S-1 is horror
S-2 is puzzles
S-3 is a visual novel / dating sim-esque

S-5 hasn't been made yet, but is confirmed to be about fishing
S-2 is not just the puzzle genre, it's a parody of The Witness
