Rhythm Fighter

Rhythm Fighter is a dynamic beat'em up enriched with elements taken from roguelike and rhythm games. The game was developed by an independent team of echo games and published by Coconut Island Games.

Plot

Earth was attacked by a villain from the planet Beatara known as Commander Chaos. Using the dark Beat Energy, antagonist has turned all the vegetables into his bloodthirsty servants who not only sow destruction across the blue globe, but also lay the corpse of every animal hero trying to confront them. Fortunately, there was another newcomer from Beatara on Earth, Mr. Disco; he intends to stop his arch-enemy and bring the local heroes back to life.

Mechanics

In Rhythm Fighter, we watch the action from the side. During the game, we go right through various stages and eliminate hordes of enemies, among which we can find both cannon fodder and powerful bosses who can spoil us a lot of blood. We eliminate our enemies by fighting against them or making use of a wide range of white weapons. In addition, as we progress, we bring fallen animal heroes back to life, which we can then control, and we acquire a number of skills that increase our combat potential.

The game is unique, as the punches, dodges and moving around the board are performed here to the rhythm of techno music. In addition, the locations we visit are generated procedurally, which means that every time you start playing, you have to face slightly different challenges.

Technical aspects

The graphic design of Rhythm Fighter was maintained in a colorful, cartoon-like style.
