About This Game
Quick Overview
ULTRAKILL is a brutally fast retro-style FPS where speed, aim, movement, and style all matter at the same time. It feels like classic arena shooters mixed with character-action scoring, where simply surviving is not enough — the game constantly pushes you to fight aggressively, chain kills, use movement creatively, and look cool while doing it.
The game is still listed as Early Access, but it already has a lot of content, including multiple acts, secret levels, Prime Sanctums, and newer layers like Layer 8: Fraud.
Who Should Play This Game?
Play ULTRAKILL if you enjoy games that reward skill, speed, and chaos. It is perfect for players who like DOOM Eternal, Quake, Devil May Cry-style scoring, or any shooter where movement is just as important as shooting.
This is not a slow tactical FPS. It is for players who want to dash, slide, parry, shotgun-swap, juggle enemies, chase high ranks, and replay levels until every fight feels like a violent speedrun. If you like calm shooting or realistic combat, this may feel too intense. But if you want a game that turns every room into a stylish blood-powered playground, ULTRAKILL is one of the strongest choices.
Performance on PC
ULTRAKILL is very light on PC because of its retro visuals and small install size. The Steam page lists a GTX 560 or equivalent, 4 GB RAM, and only around 3 GB storage as the minimum requirement, while the recommended specs mention a GTX 970 or equivalent and 8 GB RAM.
On most modern PCs, it should run extremely well, even at high frame rates. The bigger challenge is not performance — it is keeping up with the speed of the game. A stable FPS helps a lot here because ULTRAKILL is all about fast reactions, clean movement, and precise aim. For older laptops or low-end systems, lowering resolution and effects should still make it very playable.
