Don't worry about the damage. Humans left a while ago, and it's just us androids up here. Well, androids and robots, controlled by an ornery rogue A.I., the Zeitgeber, trying to impose its own groove on all robo-kind. Someone should do us all a favor and get out there to pull the plug, yeah?
Everything's driven by music. Literally everything. Weapons, enemies, environmental hazards, it all grooves to the underlying beat.
Listen to the music to anticipate attacks, time dodges, and avoid traps - also knowing when to fire, use special skills, and unleash charged super attacks.
Master the flow of the beat and dance atop skyscrapers to become unstoppable.
Embark on endless expeditions across procedurally generated maps. No two playthroughs are the same, meaning different enemies, encounters, and upgrades each and every time.
Experiment with different builds during each run. What will the beat bring tonight? Damage modifiers? Shield boosts? Quirky mutators that can completely alter the flow of combat? Only the music knows!
Make an orchestra of funky friends. Rogue repair-bots down on their luck! Surprisingly honest merchants! Shady robotic bonesaws looking to take some of your juice in exchange for illicit upgrades! The beat brings together all walks of synthetic life.
You only get one life, but fret not, destruction is only an inconvenience for an android.
Back in the hub, upgrade core traits, buy new weapons and equip extensions, and make sure to stretch before getting ready for another dance number.
Rhythm has hardly anything to do with the gameplay
This game was pretty unique. I felt that the balance of rhythm game and bullet hell didn't quite work out but I like the graphics and music.
It's a tough game that requires a lot of concentration to simultaneously dodge enemies & bullets, shoot at your targets, utilize your abilities, avoid hazards, AND keep with the rhythm. If you're not in a quite environment without interruptions, this game becomes difficult. The aesthetic of the game is very desolate but the dialog is very quirky and silly, which is a bit incongruent. But the presentation fits the gameplay well and looks pretty good. Your shots shoot with the rhythm but you have to time your power shots with the rhythm. combining that with dodging makes the game satisfying when you're able to pull these maneuvers off. You're able to use some currency for permanent upgrades to make builds, and use other currencies for in-run power-ups for a single run. It's a fun and effective method for a Rogue-like. I do think the in-run power-ups can afford to be more out there. They were a bit basic and don't change that gameplay that much. Overall, tough but fair game that requ...
