History VideoGame / MidnightUltra

* WeirdWest: The game takes place in the remote American southwest, features an acid western soundtrack that invokes the soul-draining heat of the desert, and has a paranormal investigator battling a cult in creepy abandoned rural environments.

The game looks and plays like someone made a First-Person Shooter on the original UsefulNotes/{{Gameboy}}, featuring a limited 4-bit color palette and very simple, abstract low-res graphics, and even an old-fashioned 4:3 aspect ratio. Taking place in the American Southwest, the story follows a paranormal investigator hunting down a cult in various abandoned rural environments.

* DiscOneNuke: The magic spell is objectively better than any of the other melee weapons because it actually has range, making ammo management a non-issue. You can use it to take out enemies at close range, saving your ammo for long range sniping. It is slower-firing and less damaging than the revolver, with a slower projectile, but having infinite ammo more than makes up for that.

''Midnight Ultra'' is a {{Retraux}} FirstPersonShooter by Forward Instinct, a small indie team, for whom it was their first and so far only game. Made on UsefulNotes/{{Unity}}, the game was released on Halloween 2017.

** Zig-zagged with the player shotgun. It's more effective at close range than other weapons, but ineffective at long range, which can be a problem when dealing with ranged enemies at long range since you can only carry 1 firearm. Also, while it does roughly twice as much damage as the revolver, it still requires 2 shots to kill anything stronger than a zombie or shadow witch.

* SniperRifle: The bolt-action rifle is accurate and does about twice the damage as the revolver, but you also get much less ammo for it than for the revolver or even the shotgun, making it AwesomeButImpractical. If you're going to use it as your firearm, it's almost mandatory to have the magic spell as your melee weapon so you'll still have a range option for weaker enemies.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The Himalayan cultists in ''Devil's Path'' are armed with shotguns that fire a cross-shaped spread of 5 projectiles. At close range, if all of them hit it can deal massive damage to you.
