All in all, Midnight Fight Express is a nice adrenaline-fuelled ride that offers players simple but challenging gameplay, great backgrounds, and more. While it has a few gameplay issues and isn't too long to beat at about 8 hours, the game still provides a great experience beat 'em up fans will especially enjoy.

With combat that's as brutal as it is satisfying and a progression system that truly makes you feel like you're mastering the craft of kicking arse, Midnight Fight Express is a brawler that surpasses most and challenges those at the top of the genre.

Overall though, there’s a hell of a lot to like about Midnight Fight Express. While it has a few issues that are likely to bring you out of the experience, the fluidity and brutality of the combat will win you over. This is a game that’s simply a joy to play for the most part, with some neat ideas and a beat-heavy soundtrack thrown in for good measure. If you want to beat up large numbers of goons while feeling like a badass, look no further.

The soundtrack blasts your ears with grimy hype up beats that rocks the combat even more than it does on its own. There's a very obvious issue with a bland story that puts a halt to the game but there's a lot to enjoy here. Midnight Fight Express is a fantastic game that plays great, sounds fantastic, if only it would get out of its own way with the story.

Midnight Fight Express attracts attention with its successful combat system, but can't keep the attention it draws for a long time. It's an action-packed and fun game, but unfortunately that's all there is, nothing more, nothing less.

Midnight Fight Express is another great beat ‘em up in a year where we’ve already seen quite a few. The combat system is beauty in motion and levels are highly replayable thanks to the ranking system, diverse amount of attack options, and online leaderboards. It stumbles a bit due to some sections needing to be balanced a bit more but overall this is one to check out for any fan of beat ‘em ups or action movies.

Failing to be consistent from start to finish and having gameplay issues from time to time, Midnight Fight Express is an action game with good combat totally removed from any possible logic and sanity.

A fine action flick, but it really flaws with its dull postmodern efforts.

Midnight Fight Express is a short and brutal fight that doesn't overstay its welcome. You'll definitely come out of it with more than a few scrapes, but it's all worth it just to watch the sun rise at the end.

Midnight Fight Express will largely appeal to movie fanatics, as the beat 'em up combat encapsulates the feeling of one big movie-action sequence with its adrenaline-induced gameplay.

Midnight Fight Express is a solid beat-'em-up. The base move set is enough to make you feel dangerous, but a fully kitted out character makes you feel invincible. The combat is appropriately crunchy, and the game doesn't wear out its welcome despite having a ton of brief levels. It fulfills that fantasy of being an unstoppable action hero, and it keeps that fantasy going thanks to the game's overall replayability. For fans of action titles in general, Midnight Fight Express is well worth checking out.

Midnight Fight Express does nothing new but it does not really need to, while it can get bogged down by its boring ranged combat it is more than propped by its engaging and really fun hand-to-hand combat, good soundtrack, and extensive customization.

If you’ve ever dreamt of a beat-em-up that would effectively flow and feel like John Wick this gets really close

Midnight Fight Express is built around its encounters, yet does nothing to build them in meaningful ways. This train is going nowhere fast.

Midnight Fight Express is a game about kicks and punches with its own style. You may find yourself shaking your head as the game's soundtrack plays. But unfortunately, something is missing in gameplay.

A solid beat 'em up in which the main protagonists are the music and originality when facing our enemies. It doesn't let you take a breath during its 40 levels full of humor, violence and intrigue.

Midnight Fight Express is a dynamic and frenetic fighting game that makes the player feel like the protagonist of an action movie. Despite not being perfect and having some balance issues and excessive unnecessary dialogue, the surprising variety of content and its excellent combat system make this game recommended for all lovers of virtual brawling.

Midnight Fight Express needed more focus to realize its potential. Constantly throwing out different hazards and enemy types at a dizzying pace doesn’t work if the foundation is rocky, and confusing variety for quality is one of its structural problems.

Midnight Fight Express understands its nature and audience, excelling in every way. The combat is smooth and creative, the overall style is amusing and self-aware, and the adrenaline of its music and pacing is very appealing. This is, surprisingly, a modern-day arcade classic, and should definitely please fans of the best side-scrolling brawlers.

Midnight Fight Express has a lot of personality and can be fun for a bit. However, when a game is built almost entirely around combat, you need that combat to feel great, and here it just feels okay. Its various attempts to provide some variety are noble, but meet with mixed success despite some really cool set pieces. A great soundtrack kept me going until the end, but those wanting an irreverent brawler aren’t lacking choices in recent years, and Midnight Fight Express never fully manages to stand out from the crowd.
