Midnight Fight Express is an isometric brawler.
This is the second game in the December Humble Choice bundle, and is published by Humble Games.
Two isometric games in a row? OK then. The game opens with your amnesiac character, "Babyface", in a police interview room, questioning him as to who he is and why he's been on a crime spree across the city.
There's mention of a talking drone, and then the screen fades to black, taking you back to your apartment where it all began; a large box is delivered, containing said talking drone.
"Droney" (yes, seriously) bursts out of the box, and tells us we need to start killing to prevent the city collapsing to a crime spree during the night. Droney gives the game more than a little of the "My Friend Pedro" feel.
...and away we go.
On the plus side, the game handles the isometric controls well for keyboard play. Unlike Expeditions: Rome, Midnight Fight Express has a fixed view isometric camera.
Unlike most of the fixed isometric view games I've played this year which use ordinal keymapping for WASD (mapping W to "true north"), essentially requiring the use of two keys to move "forward" (or "northeast"), relative to the gamespace, Midnight Fight Express rotates the directions 45 degrees clockwise, resulting in the W key moving "forwards" (or NE).
I loaded up a few of them after playing this, and then went back to Midnight Fight Express again to compare the controls.
I think I prefer this approach, given how frustrating I found The Ascent when needing to use two keys at a time to move (or maybe just provide an option to switch that on and off).
As best as I can remember, I've never played an isometric brawler before.
With some games, the narrative is little more than a device to support the gameplay, while others use gameplay to tell a story. While I think Midnight Fight Express is definitely in the former category, when I went back into the game to compare the controls, I ended up playing for another 16 minutes.
I wasn't initially sure felt, but I think Midnight Fight Express might be growing on me, so I'm going to say it's:
3: OK

Chris PaduanRolled credits on Midnight Fight Express the other night. It's basically John Wick: The Videogame. Electronic score is awesome. Broken down into small, easily digestible chapters which are all pretty unique. Has a nasty difficulty curve on a couple of those, but otherwise big fun. Leaving GP this month. Hard to believe it's the work of (essentially) one guy.
Midnight Fight Express is leaving Game Pass at the end of the month. It's like John Wick: The Video game. There are lots of very short levels, so you can play a little bit at a time. The sets are great and the soundtrack is fantastic, too.
Noelle AdamsIt's leaving Game Pass in a week or so, and I highly recommend Midnight Fight Express, which is basically non-stop John Wick/The Raid/Daredevil-style brawling across a gang-plagued city.
If nothing else, the soundtrack will become your new favourite gym playlist.
