Dead as Disco is poised to follow in the footsteps of Hi-Fi Rush, a game that seamlessly blends beat ’em up mechanics with rhythm elements. Players can configure their gameplay to soundtrack of their choice and fight to the beat, capturing the essence of the genre.

The demo available at Steam Next Fest gives a glimpse of what to expect. Players need to hit adversaries on the beat to score points—a mechanic that feels reminiscent of rhythm games. The game’s soundtrack is crucial, featuring tunes that make players feel like they are the ‘maniac on the dance floor’ when synced correctly.

Developed by Brain Jar Games, Dead as Disco is said to offer exhilarating visuals and responsive gameplay. While the current demo might have some rough edges, it ensures players experience a fun and engaging rhythm-based beat ’em up.

For those interested in a new rhythm game, this title is heading into early access, promising future updates including multiplayer capabilities to enhance the experience further.
