Quick overview

About Ultrakill

Ultrakill is a high-octane first-person shooter that channels the spirit of classic arena shooters while adding its own brutal twist. You play as a machine venturing into the depths of hell, facing relentless waves of demons and monstrosities. Every encounter demands speed, precision, and creativity.

What sets Ultrakill apart is its style ranking system. The more varied and aggressive your attacks, the higher your score climbs—from D all the way to SSS. Chaining dashes, parries, weapon swaps, and environmental kills keeps the adrenaline pumping and the points flowing.

Movement is key to survival. You have no passive health regeneration, but you can restore HP by getting close to wounded enemies and letting their blood splatter onto you. This pushes you into the thick of combat, rewarding risk-taking play.

The game also features a unique arsenal, including a revolver with ricochet coins and a grappling hook. Mastering these tools allows for devastating combos and stylish executions. Whether you're new to retro shooters or a seasoned veteran, Ultrakill offers a fast, challenging, and endlessly replayable experience.

Get started

How to Play Ultrakill

Start by selecting a level and diving into the action. Move through the environment, eliminate all enemies, and reach the exit. Use your weapons and melee attacks to dispatch foes while avoiding damage. Your health does not regenerate automatically; instead, you heal by being close to enemies when they take damage, absorbing their blood. Experiment with different weapons and abilities to build your style meter and earn higher ranks.

Tips for Ultrakill

Blood restores health: get close to damaged enemies to heal.
Master the parry: time your Feedbacker punch to reflect projectiles for massive damage.
Coin tossing combo: throw a coin with the Marksman Revolver alt-fire, then shoot it to ricochet into an enemy's weak spot.
Combine movement techniques: slide jumping and dash-sliding boost speed and make you harder to hit.
Keep moving: standing still is death; use constant motion and aerial attacks to stay alive.
