KickBeat Steam Edition

[h1] Kicksheet Steam Edition. Full pressure on. Valve turned off. Release the kraken! [/h1]

12 years prior to Dead as Disco, there was KickBeat.

The rhythm game genre has fallen off the map since Guitar Hero and Rock Band saw plastic instruments became common place in living rooms in 2015. Released in 2013/2014, KickBeat attempts to flop together two different genres into a divisive mess with a story that is best described as twaddle. Best played with a controller, you use the face buttons, to fend off enemy attacks through a variety of inputs in time with the music. The changeable camera angles and coloured lighting are seizure inducing and create artificial difficulty by making certain inputs harder to see depending on the stage. With all rhythm games, the success of any title depends on how the soundtrack resonates with the audience and the soundtrack in KickBeat is limited although there is the option to import your own music but, this is limited by format (.mp3) and inputs are based on tempo alone. If you like rhythm games and the soundtrack appeals, there’s fun to be had with KickBeat and it’s more than just a feeble kick despite the lack of content.

Remains as the best solo rhythm game for me. Thank you.

Revisited this awesome rhythm game after a decade, still holds up well .. graphics are looking good, you would not recognize the difference if it was made today or 11 years ago This one was one of my favorites during my rhythm games obsession chapter of life .. definitely worth a try, pretty cool story mixed with little funny moments and absolutely packed with music from legends like Pendulum, Celdweller, Blue Stahli, Rob Zombie and many more

Very disappointing rythim game. Not worth both ur time nor money. Avoid
