Released on the PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox platforms, Midnight Fight Express is a fighter who can compare favorably to classic beat-em-ups like Streets of anger and modern titles with fluid combat like sifu and the Batman Arkham spell.
Midnight Fight Express takes inspiration from the martial arts movies of the 80s and 90s and refers to fight club. Fans of Hotline Miami bizarre world aesthetic will find a lot to love Midnightstrange characters and brutal violence. The beauty of the combat system is that it is easy to pick up and there are many incentives to master it. These battle tips should help players starting out.
9 Play on normal difficulty
Playing in high difficulty settings in video games is a great way to extend life. However, play Midnight Fight Express on the normal difficulty is a must for beginners.
The high difficulty is for players who: most or all of their skills unlocked. To unlock these skills one must go through all the levels but by the time the story mode is completed one should have unlocked most of the skill tree.
8 First learn the skill of parrying and countering
Midnight Fight Express has many things in common with games like the Batman Arkham series, sleeping dogs, and most recently, sifu. Learning to parry and counter incoming enemy attacks in those games is paramount to success in the game’s free-flowing combat.
The same style of fighting philosophy works in Midnight Fight Express at. As result, unlock the Parry and Counter skills first the main character will become a better fighter on the street. Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity to learn the exact timing and speed of enemies in combat. Plus, it always looks good to counter enemies as a Hong Kong action star.
7 Unlock Next Fighter Skill
The next skill that players must unlock is The Fighter. It allows the main character to combine light and heavy attacks in quick succession. As a whole, it’s a basic combo, but it opens up the skill tree for more advanced skills later on.
But even in the beginning, combining light and heavy attacks with the parry and counter ability can devastate multiple enemies on the street. In addition, hitting guard enemies with a flurry of light and heavy attacks will break their guards more easily.
6 Counter on the white flash
With the Counter and Parry abilities unlocked, players need to know when to use them in battle. Midnight Fight Express is not just about landing combinations and hitting enemies with weapons and other objects from the environment.
Playing defensively and using patience is the key to success when surrounded by enemies. By pressing the Y button at the right time to counter the move, a window opens for the protagonist to land combinations.
5 Roll on the red flash
Being defensive doesn’t just extend to blocking and counter-attacks. Many enemies will attack unblockable moves. When confronted by a larger enemy, or attacking with a weapon, you must learn to use the roll mechanism as effectively as possible. Fans of the dark souls series will be familiar with how effective threat rollout can be.
When an opponent flashes red, the protagonist has to roll out of the way instead of trying to block. A red attack will break the protagonist’s guard and make him vulnerable. However, those who invest in the Counter and Parry skill tree can unlock the ability to counter melee weapons and even disarm enemies.
4 Test all new skills in the playground
As with any good fighting game, Midnight Fight Express requires practice. Each time a new skill is unlocked, the game offers players a chance to try it out in The Playground.
The Playground is an area where the protagonist can choose to fight against waves of enemies or a single enemy. It’s the perfect place to work out the protagonist’s new abilities and how to implement them in combat.
3 Mix your attacks and rolls
Into the free-flowing combat system Midnight Fight Express is flexible enough that each player can adapt to their playing style. However, sometimes using speed, evasive maneuvers and attacks is the best way to get out of trouble.
Use rolls to escape heavy attacks and place the protagonist on a vantage point. A roll’s speed and distance can also align the player’s character with throwable objects in the environment.
2 Use focus to your advantage
One of the most effective tools in the game is the Focus mechanic. It allows the player to slow down time and create a strategy when surrounded by large groups of enemies.
The Focus also reveals enemy health bars and can be an effective way to predict the next attack. Additionally, the Focus mechanic lets the protagonist explore the environment for weapons, throwables, and explosive items to use in combat.
1 Don’t worry about the challenges
At the end of each mission, players receive a score based on their combat performance. In addition, they must complete challenges to achieve an S-Rank on levels.
Just like the movie Taken, many of these challenges require a specific set of skills to complete. However, the skills cannot be unlocked until later in the game. The challenges provide the player with replay value and a reason to keep coming back and experimenting with new moves. So aim to get the elusive S-Rank once all skills are ready in Midnight Fight Express.
Midnight Fight Express is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S
