Midnight Fury

Midnight Fury is about Max Cobra, a Vietnam veteran who uses a wheelchair and is unaffected by a virus that turns some people into semi-intelligent zombies. Years after veterans unknowingly brought the virus home, the government confines those infected to quarantine zones. Max needs money, so he illegally turns his work clearing zombies in the zones into a local TV show, backed by sponsors and teammates. The broadcast becomes so popular that it still breaks viewing records on VHS tapes.

Clear the quarantine zones

You fight zombie hordes using strategy, quick reflexes, weapons and upgrades. The dynamic wave system adjusts the show around your chosen difficulty, your performance and how long you have been playing. At the end of each wave, the Zombie Cleaner, a gift from the channel, removes zombies left on screen.

Max’s wheelchair can become an advantage: with certain upgrades, he can move faster than anyone and even fly. At the start, his shots are inconsistent because his weapon and wheelchair need upgrades; the Wheelchair brake and Better grip are among the available upgrades. Upgrades can help you stay in the game longer and affect the dynamic difficulty balance.

The live broadcast

The game displays the broadcast’s current status and TV rating. As the rating rises, more commercials appear, earning you money. If a difficulty level does not leave enough zombies on screen, Mr. Triumph’s gift, the Zombie Bus, arrives and drops zombies at certain points. This raises the rating but makes your work harder.

Teammates and upgrades

Once you get the necessary upgrades, you can call in teammates. They arrive by truck and help both on the way and at the scene, using their own abilities.

Fatal Fury is a specially modified energy drink. When you use it, everything except Max slows to a quarter of its speed, letting him move faster than anything else. You need to purchase the Fatal Fury upgrade to use it; higher upgrade levels make the Fatal Fury Bar fill faster, so you can use it more often.

Difficulty and achievements

The game has difficulty levels from Walker to Nightmare. You can earn very few Steam achievements on Walker, while Nightmare allows you to unlock all of them.
