Midnight Fight Express is only a few days away from its August 23 release on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 and publisher Humble Games has just released a gameplay trailer for the upcoming action brawler. The video goes over its many melee mechanics and all the fast bloody combat that’s worthy of a John Wick film.

While it has isometric camera angle, it seemingly has many of the same mechanics as Sloclap’s Sifu. In addition to regular hits, there are counter and guard breaks players must utilize quickly as they get surrounded by multiple goons. These moves use mocap from Eric Jacobus, who was Kratos’ stuntman in 2018’s God of War. Humble also released a video of him mocapping the game’s animation earlier in August.
There’s also a rage meter that makes moves more violent, which is only topped by the games array of weapons. Players can improvise with objects around the environment and even use guns in some situations. Midnight Fight Express even has a combo meter to encourage linking together attacks and beatdowns. Of course, there’s a focus mode that slows down the action so players can tactically assess the situation.

Players can even grow through gameplay-altering upgrades (complete with a well-sized skill tree) and cosmetic gear. These will likely come in handy while score chasing since the game grades players based on their performance.
