Played this because I had a day to kill before some big releases and I'm still not sure if it was a good idea. Midnight Fight Express is an isometric beat 'em up that is five hours and fourty missions of the exact same gameplay loop that gets old pretty much as soon as you get into the game. It's got a story which admittably I paid no attention to, and the general level sequencing was very boring. I had this expectation going into MFE as it is clearly not a Triple A title, but something far shorter would have been preferred. I didn't love My Friend Pedro, but it was a shorter and much more innovative fast paced indie game than this was. Even though Pedro is a 2D platformer with bulletime sequencing and this is strictly isometric, I couldn't help but compare the two and long for the game I'd already played.

I can't recommend anyone play Midnight Fight Express as it's a style of game that wears its influences on its sleeve and isn't as good as something you've probably already played.
