ULTRAKILL is the best wizard game out there to date
This isn’t a meme or anything; I’m serious when I say this. Ultrakill handles its elemental interactions beautifully in a way very few games do. You have the options to use different elements— fire, electricity, bullets, explosions, and blunt force (melee/parrying, SRS Cannonball)— tied to your “spells” (weapons), and they have a lot of amazing interactions.
When I’m creating conductor combos with four weapons all working in tandem, I feel the most like a wizard than in any other game. It feels so amazing to set up a fifteen step combo ending in an ultraricoshot just to kill an enemy in half a second.
It also helps that Ultrakill avoids cooldowns or energy sources/ammo. That removes any need for relying on a “most powerful option” and only relying on that one weapon in most fights. Not to mention, in most cases, there’s at least five enemies at any given time that have weaknesses, interactions, or exploits you can use against them if you utilize the various weapons.
This game is so peak. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.
