Headbangers: Rhythm Royale

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is a rhythm battle royale supporting cross-platform functionality. It was developed by an indie Glee-Cheese Studio, also known for another musical game - A Musical Story. Headbangers was published by Team17, also responsible for publishing DREDGE and Overcooked.

Mechanics

Each player must create their own pigeon and compete against other players in a series of musical mini-games for the title of Headbanger Master. Players can customize their bird by spending acquired Crumbs or use power-ups to gain an advantage over their rivals.

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale includes 23 minigames, each divided into 4 rounds of ascending difficulty. Each stage is a different engaging challenge with its own unique musical twist. Some mini-games test the player's memory, others their sense of rhythm, reflexes, timing or even rapping skills.

Headbangers also features expansive character customization, ranging from hundreds of clothing items to many available sounds and taunts. Completing each challenge (and bonus rounds) grants Crumbs, a special currency used to purchase these cosmetics.

Game modes

The game was created with PvP multiplayer in mind. Up to 30 players can compete at once, no matter their platform, as Headbangers: Rhythm Royale was designed in such a way the platform they're playing on does not matter.

Technical aspects

The game features 3D visuals and a vivid color palette. Its humorous soundtrack makes every mini-game unique.
