The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of stylish rhythm games and kinetic beat 'em ups who enjoy syncing brawling combos to a pulsing soundtrack.: Strikes, counters, and dodges naturally snap into the musical tempo, while each boss encounter feels like a staged headline concert complete with distinct music tracks and neon-soaked spectacle. Tradeoff: The authored story remains lightweight and functional, serving primarily as a backdrop for musical brawling rather than delivering deep narrative payoffs.

What it does best

  • A brawler that grooves

  • A neon music-video aesthetic

  • A rhythm beat ’em up that feels natural

  • Boss fights staged like live performances

What might put you off
