Midnight Terror

Midnight Terror Overview

Midnight Terror is a Halloween fish-shooter game from KA Gaming, released on 16 October 2024. It is not a slot: there are no reels and no paylines. Instead, a cannon sits at the bottom of the screen and you fire at monsters that walk, fly and crawl across a moonlit graveyard, collecting a prize for every creature you bring down.

KA Gaming does not publish an RTP, a volatility rating or a maximum win for Midnight Terror, and the usual catalogues list all three as unavailable. Everything below was read from demo play, at a $10.00 shot in the Gold room.

Three Rooms, Three Stake Ranges

The game opens on a room picker rather than a lobby. Three gravestones stand in a haunted forest, each guarded by its own monster, and each sets the range of shot sizes you can use.

The Bronze room, watched over by a grinning gargoyle, takes shots from $0.01 to $0.10. The Silver room, where a pumpkin-headed scarecrow in a top hat waits, runs from $0.10 to $1.00. The Gold room, guarded by a red-eyed dead tree, covers $1.00 to $10.00.

The room choice is effectively the stake choice. Once inside, the plus and minus buttons beside the cannon move the shot size within that room’s band, and the balance underneath updates with every shot fired and every prize collected.

A Graveyard Under a Full Moon

The battlefield is a wide, dark plain of wet stones and bare trees, lit by a pale moon behind drifting cloud. A castle silhouette appears on the horizon in some scenes, and the side panels are framed in bone and green slime.

The creatures are drawn in a heavier, more painterly style than most shooters of this kind. Werewolves in black and silver fur, bat-winged imps, shambling green zombies, a scythe-carrying reaper child and a pumpkin knight all move across the screen at different speeds and in different formations.

Between the waves come swarms of flaming skulls and purple spirit flames, which fill the screen in bursts and give the game its chaotic, crowded feel. Coins spray out of every defeated monster and fly towards the cannon, with the prize value flashing above them.

The Paytable

Each monster carries a fixed multiplier of the shot that brings it down. The game’s own paytable page lists the main creatures as follows:

The black werewolf pays 30x, the bat-winged imp 20x, the silver werewolf 18x, the fox-eared girl with her twin blades 15x, and the small scythe-carrying reaper 12x. At a $10.00 shot, that makes the black werewolf worth $300 and the reaper worth $120.

That page is only one of seven in the paytable, marked 5/7, and the smaller creatures and special targets are listed on the pages around it. What the visible page makes clear is how the game is structured: the bigger and slower a monster, the more it pays, and the more shots it tends to absorb before it falls.

Because the payout is a multiple of the shot, the same monster is worth a hundred times more in the Gold room than in Bronze. The ratios between creatures stay identical whichever room you choose, so the paytable reads the same at any stake.

The Big Targets

The multipliers on the paytable page are not the ceiling. The largest prizes in our session came from special targets that burst open into a shower of coins and a single framed prize.

A glowing rune wheel in the middle of the field paid $200.00 when it broke – 20x the shot. A graveyard-shaped plaque, decorated with pumpkins and tombstones, paid $1,200.00 on one occasion and $1,150.00 on another, both roughly 115x–120x the $10.00 shot.

A second rune wheel, surrounded by a spray of smaller coin values from $20 to $150, paid $1,160.00. The screen fills with dozens of individual coin amounts at these moments, so the headline figure in the middle is the one that tells you what the event was worth.

Weapons and the Side Panel

A column of icons runs down the right edge of the screen: a bone-framed skull at the top, then a red target, a green lock-on symbol and a green blast symbol, with an arrow below to switch between them.

These are the special shot modes common to KA Gaming’s shooters: an auto-target lock that follows a chosen monster, and area weapons that hit everything in a radius. A small portrait of the currently targeted monster appears beside the column when the lock is active – in our session it tracked the pumpkin knight and then the reaper.

A green arrow on the left edge opens the weapon and menu drawer. The multiplayer seats at the bottom corners showed “Waiting for Player” throughout the demo, which is how these games look when you are the only shooter in the room.

How the Session Went

We started with a balance of $100,829 in the Gold room at $10.00 a shot. The balance dipped to $100,109 as the first waves absorbed our fire, then climbed steadily as the larger targets fell, reaching $103,339 by the end of the recorded session.

That shape – a steady drain punctuated by a few large bursts – is the character of the genre. Ordinary monsters pay back small, frequent amounts, while the rune wheels and the graveyard plaque are where the real swings come from.

Who Should Play It

Midnight Terror is for players who enjoy active, skill-flavoured games rather than a spin button. You choose where to aim, when to change weapons and which monsters to chase, and the Halloween setting is one of the better-drawn in KA Gaming’s shooter range.

The reservations are the missing figures: with no published RTP, volatility or maximum win, you are relying on the paytable and on what you see. The three-room structure does at least make it easy to start small, in Bronze at a cent a shot, before moving up.
