Beat Slayer

Beat Slayer is a roguelite hack n’ slay game like no other. Instead of just being in the background the music takes centre stage. Join Mia, a badass music lover and crafty tinkerer, as she battles hordes of robots in a dystopian 90s inspired Berlin. There’s only one rule: Stay on beat!

“An OK beat-em-up roguelite with very lite rhythm mechanics. Yes, it's satisfying to move and strike to the beat, but there's no variation in rhythm, it's literally just 120BPM the entire way through. The game gets a bit tedious once you master the (very basic) rhythm mechanics…”
