Tango Gameworks Announces Hi-Fi Rush During Xbox Developer_Direct Showcase, Out Today
Shadow-Dropped Games
Tango Gameworks has released its new game, Hi-Fi Rush, a rhythm adventure game developed exclusively for the Xbox Series X|S. The game was announced during the Xbox Developer_Direct showcase and is available now on Xbox Game Pass and digital storefronts.
A New Style From Tango Gameworks
The game features a bombastic, comic-like art style and original tunes. Hi-Fi Rush’s rhythm-based gameplay impacts every aspect of the game, from attacks and enemy movements to cutscenes. Players control Chai, a wannabe rockstar who is the victim of a weird corporate experiment that allows them to sense the rhythm of the world. Attacks, enemy attacks, obstacles, and even cutscenes occur to the beat of the music.
Accessible Rhythm
Despite the rhythm-based gameplay, Hi-Fi Rush is not a punishing game. Players can jump, dodge, parry, and attack using any buttons, which automatically sync up to the beat of the music. However, by keeping the rhythm correctly, players can do more damage or build up powerful combos. Chai’s companion, 808, a small robot cat, provides visual aid to help players keep rhythm. The game also includes accessibility options to further help players.
A Soundtrack For Rock Lovers
While Hi-Fi Rush has its own original soundtrack, it also features licensed music for boss battles from artists like Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys, The Prodigy, The Joy Formidable, Number Girl, Wolfgang Gartner, and Zwan.
