ULTRAKILL Prelude
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
A free demo for the upcoming game ULTRAKILL, coming to early access in 2020.
ULTRAKILL is a fast-paced ultraviolent old school FPS that fuses together classic shooters like Quake, modern shooters like Doom (2016) and character action games like Devil May Cry.
Mankind has gone extinct and the only beings left on earth are machines fuelled by blood, but now that blood is starting to run out on the surface, machines are racing to the depths of Hell in search of more.
- Use your many movement abilities to stay mobile in the face of unending swarms of the dead, demons and other machines.
- Destroy them with an arsenal of incredibly powerful weapons, each with multiple available variations.
- Soak yourself in their blood to regain health and keep fighting.
- Kill fast and stylishly to rack up a combo and gain style points that can be used on weapon variations between missions.
It's kill or be killed... And every split second is a matter of life and death.
ULTRAKILL Prelude features:
- A tutorial, 5 levels and a secret mission.
- 4 enemy types and 3 bosses
- 2 weapons with 2 variations each
- 2 difficulties
- Tons of replayability

Will this be available on GOG? Also will the steam version be DRM free like dusk?
I'll look into the possibility of releasing on GOG closer to when the game's about to reach early access. No plans for any kind of DRM currently.
Oh thats good. also is the summer 2020 release date actually when the full game is coming out or is that when it goes into early access?
Early Access
Oh ok. so is the full game getting released this year?
This game was awesome, I cannot wait until the full game being released. I love this game!! Found this game whilst looking for games in the Indie Hour.
The game goes good until the level 4, the freaking giant head is just simply unfair, you can't predict his attacks and it's just about lucky, the game in general is pretty good, it has nice retro graphics, nice controls and ideas. But please fix that, it just maked me exit the game... Nevermind, your game is going pretty well! I hope you succeed with this game!
The Malicious Face in 0-4 works the exact same way as it did at the end of 0-1. It’ll keep shooting bursts of projectiles at steady intervals until it starts charging up its explosive beam, which has both a visual and sound cue.
if you hit the malicious face in the forehead with the fist you will kill it instantly
this is possibly a hard question. can you please make a small version of the game for web browser? i cant get linux or dont have a windows pc. if your asking why i cant get linux, my chromebook is maneged by my school.
so if you can, please make a web browser version
Great game!! I love the overall feel and ps1-style graphics. How did you make those textures?
I used dsoft20's psx_retroshader: https://github.com/dsoft20/psx_retroshader
Other than that, all the level textures are modified from public domain textures available online and all weapon and enemy textures are drawn digitally.
That is so cool! Thank you for sharing!
please make for mac
Can i ask? What engine did you create this game?
Unity.
v104, the second map doesn't load.
The v102 worked ok.
Could you explain the problem in more detail?
I'm just falling down indefinitely. Doesn't really seem to be stuck in loading since I can access the menu with no problem, restart, quit, etc... I think it's similar to when you forget to include a map in the build of the game and then try to load it. I was gonna check the output log but can't find it.
That problem is caused by the game failing to save. Possible reasons are that the Saves folder is set as Read Only or is in a Read Only directory, or that you're attempting to play directly from the .zip file.
I've since added a warning screen that tells this to you when the game starts if it's unable to save or load and lets you progress with saving disabled if you want, so that will be in 1.05
Apparently it's Windows treating you like you are 4 years old. I removed read only, still didn't work. I checked the folder properties again, it doesn't take my changes into consideration, even as administrator. Maybe if I move it to another place... Nope didn't work...
If the "Read Only" box is filled with a square instead of a checkmark, that means it should work, and the problem lies elsewhere. I don't know your PC so I can't say for sure, but it's probably some permission issue.
Any plans to allow mods into the game after release?
There are no plans for modding tools, but some modding is already possible with the demo.
THE ROBOT KINDA LOOKS LIKE PATHFINDER FROM APEX LEGENDS
Is the 1.04 build broken? I get to Swordsmachine and rather than fighting him on the second phase he teleports away, and the arena, as well its foyer looks hella broken compared to videos of it I've seen.This is not a bug, but there should be notice to the player about alt-firing the cracked doors. While it should have clicked in my dopey-ass mind since windows can be alt-fired with the pistol it wasn't nearly as intuitive in my brain to alt-fire the cracked door.
Its an amazing game! I cant stop playing it!
No really I need help I havent spelt for 3 days. And I got no food left. But I have too much fun too leave the house.
Also the bosses are fun, but you can kill them very easy by standing in the corner.
There have been some changes to the way the health system works to make tanking hits less effective, which will be included in the next patch.
good game but i think the boss battles are kinda bad. am i the only one who thinks that the boss battles ruin the fun time murder killing
I can not wait for full release! It's on my steam wishlist and I'll be sure to talk about it on our podcast!
Awesome work! I wish you the best of luck with the development of this game :)
This is absolutely amazing. Can't wait for the final release.
Also add more weapons like an lmg or something, and an AR. Also Great job. Amazing, Fast Paced, good bossbattles, also add dificulty changer, like normal, hard, very hard and ultra nightmare, and man can't wait for the final bossbattle.
definetly a thumbs up!
Does it feature Multiplayer and if not is Multiplayer a goal?
No plans for multiplayer as it would require rewriting most of the game's code to be possible.
ah
if you sometime make part 2 could there be multiplayer?
I doubt I'll make a second one at least anytime in the next 10 years, but if I do I'd like to do multiplayer as well, yes.
Hi, What system specs are needed?
Asking because my pc broke and all I have is laptop.
Dunno. Give it a shot and see how it goes.
It runs smooth untill I like kill 100 enemies and the room fills with blood and gibs
try disabling them
yo how do i get past the broken wall in the mission Double Down?
There's another door at the bottom of the stairs.
OOOHHHHHHH- How am i just now seeing that? anyway thanks lmao
Is it normal that the graphics are so bad?
I mean, the weird shaes and so
Yes. If you dont like it, you can turn off some of the PSX Settings in the Graphics options.
anyone else have a problem where the mouse 1 and 0 dont work? but the mouse doe
Nah. Mouse 0 is right click and muse 1 is left click i think.
i know but i have to map my keys to my keyboard instead of my mouse to shoot and alt fir
Could you explain the problem in more detail? I don't quite understand what you mean.
As soon as this comes out, im buying!
Really enjoyable game, nice job on the movement!
YEah!
YEAH!!!
This is an awesome game difficulty was very easy but the final level was super fun you have to focus to beat the final boss('s). It gives you a Doom vibe when playing this which is great, I found one little problem when changing the quality during the game like if you put it at modern art ( I think that´s what its called) you can't see anything maybe that's how it is or something, But I still recommend
I also made a YouTube video to show how fun it was.
I love the game
Enjoyed playing the heck out of the demo (even if I could never score a perfect rank on any of the levels, drat!)
To offer some suggestions:
-Could you encourage players to vary their tactics so that repeating the same attack over and over will build up your ranking less and less? I've seen a YT video of someone scoring a P rank on every level by using mostly the shotguns grenade launcher altfire, which is kinda boring to watch.
-I personally have trouble trying to use both the crouch sliding and boost moves in tandem, although maybe I need to set up a better keyboard layout. Still, I was wondering if you could allow players to boost by double tapping the movement keys and/or key both boosting and sliding to the same key (Tap to boost and hold to slide). I'm sure not everyone will like this idea so perhaps, at least, make these optional in the controls menu.
-Will an arena-style survival mode a la Bloody Palace be in the works for this game? This kind of game seems to beg for one.
On the swordsmachine fight I managed to clip him through the ground I think? I was unable to finish the level, I did it using the shotgun and melee attack at the same time.
I hit my own projectile?
This is a common bug that I've been trying to fix but is proving quite difficult to.
Bug: When I went to settings to look at what the controls were, I clicked the controls option and it corrupted the file causing me to have to redownload it
Could you describe what happened in more detail? Does this still happen if you try to open the controls options or was it just the first time? What OS are you using? Did the game refuse to launch after it was corrupted?
who else could here E1M1 from DOOM in the trailer
i have a chromebook thats why
Who says you can't lol
There is linux on chromebook, isn't there?
i cant get linux because of the administrater
administrator
oh lol
no. its not a lol.
this looks so cool! to bad i can't play.
this game is hella fun, but i would love more weapons, maybe like a rocket launcher that could launch other types of projectiles, like swords or like fire bombs, or maybe a melee weapon. Good luck and i cant wait for the full version
There will be more weapons in the full version.
is this for 64 bit only?
Currently yes, but I can make 32-bit versions as well.
I love every thing about this game, specially the quick past
Absolutely amazing game. Play this game!
This game is exceptional. Play this game right now...
So has anyone else picked up on how overpumping the shotgun is actually is actually a super useful tool for building up combos? You just have to have a nice group of enemies so when you burst it the blood refills your health and you can get to Ultrakill really easy while still keeping max health
Just got done with the demo and this is pretty awesome. Very fast paced and challenging!
Ok so I just finished the demo and yes YES YESSS this is exactly what I need, I loved all of it, the weopons, the enimes, I do have a complaint that it kinda did the same "your walking in a hall way, then the doors close, boom encounter" witch the first couple times I enjoyed but near the end it kinda got annyoing, the levels are a little tight for my taist. But I had a lot of fun and can't wait to see what this turns into
Woodrow rating 10/10
