Beat Hazard 2

- The effects are eye bleeding even when turned down - The controller support to horrid - Can't change the mouse sensitivity - Can't change the audio while ingame - The game crashed on me twice (I didn't even reach 15 mins game time when this happened lmao) - Only the beta branch works with a controller and it feels floating and weird - The sprirts look like a it's from a cheap flash game made in 2005 - It hardly syncs with your music it's really just there in the background I figured this game would improve on the first one but its really cheap and outdated visually and in QoL features.

I have the visuals turned down to 50% (As low as it goes) and I cannot even tell what's going on 90% of the time, and just die over and over again because I can't even see my ship. It's like trying to play through having a seizure. Disappointing because such a great idea, but people have to be able to SEE to play the game. 10/10 would play more if this got fixed. You're genuinely just blinded from moment one. Once again, and I cannot overstate this enough... you can't see anything. It's just utterly blinding making it unplayable. If there's a fix for this, I would be SO happy and would update my review in a heartbeat.

Very neat game, better than the 1st version, which has more flaws. It has a lot more gameplay with various ships, better consistency with music, better QoL with song choice and a lot more content such as enemy variety without any DLCs. The only worse things are that achievements are more boring and the bosses are usually much easier in this game. I recommend it to all music game lovers. It's not really a rhytm game though, as the tags describe, just a game that plays with your music. It's also still a little bit lacking as a shooter type of game if you're going mainly for that, but it's good enough. Overall: 7.5/10

My Cat fking loves this game!

I underestimated how enjoyable this game is. Outstanding features and good fun like an old flash game

Beat Hazard 2 is a music-powered twin-stick shooter developed and published by Cold Beam Games. Building upon the foundation established by the original title, this sequel expands nearly every aspect of the concept by turning songs into dynamic combat arenas where rhythm, intensity, and tempo directly influence gameplay. Rather than treating music as a simple soundtrack, the game uses it as the core mechanic, transforming personal playlists into endless sources of unique battles. The result is an arcade experience that feels fresh every time a new track is selected. The game's central feature revolves around its ability to generate levels based on audio. Every song creates a different combat scenario, with energetic tracks producing heavier enemy waves, larger explosions, and more chaotic encounters. Slower music results in a more measured pace, allowing players to focus on positioning and survival. This system ensures that no two sessions are exactly alike, giving the game an almost limitless amount of replayability. Whether players prefer electronic music, rock, orchestral compositions, or even podcasts, Beat Hazard 2 finds a way to transform audio into an interactive challenge.…
