The WhatsNext verdict

If rhythm games and stylish brawlers are your thing, Dead as Disco delivers beat-synced combat, flamboyant boss performances, and a neon music-video look. It suits players happy to trade a thin, unfinished story for a focused, still-expanding groove.

  • A neon music-video aesthetic
