Thumper - Fly, Little Bug
Thumper is a relatively simple game, but it will demand everything from you. In the game you control a futuristic beetle through hosed sci-fi routes. All you need is the X Button and Analog Stick to hit the hits coming your way.Sounds easy right? Incorrect! What starts out as simple and straightforward quickly becomes a horror trip of rhythm games as the game picks up speed and the beats are racing towards you at high speed. You have to be fast, turning and maneuvering your beetle at the right moment to keep the beat.
The different levels have nightmare-like bosses at the end of their route. The creatures will fire at you with the beats and only by responding to the beat can you knock back the attacks and bring the monsters to their knees.
Beat Hazard - Rhythm In The Tank
The Beat Hazard series combines two unusual ideas. On the one hand you have elements of classic rhythm games in which you trigger certain actions in time with the music.On the other hand, you will find a twin-stick shooter that lets you control a spaceship in order to shoot down asteroids, space debris and enemy ships that are speeding towards you. What sounds incompatible at first glance harmonizes with each other in an indescribably good way and makes the Beat Hazard Games impressive rhythm games.
The controls are quickly explained. Use the controller's left stick to control where your spaceship flies, and use the right stick to aim your weapons. If you press in the right stick, you can also activate a power bomb to clear the screen.However, you do not have direct control over your standard armament. This is determined by the music and that is one of the important tricks of Beat Hazard. If you're playing a slow song with lots of pauses, you're completely at the mercy of your opponents! Your spaceship cannot fire.
Your weapons also lose firepower during quiet parts, making it all the more difficult to keep the other spaceships at bay. But once the music really hits, your ship will unleash its full firepower, too, and you can unleash an sonic inferno.With the Beat Hazard games, you decide for yourself which sounds you want to throw yourself into the galactic battle. You can implement MP3 files in the games and thereby create a setlist of destruction. For example, you can literally shoot through your favorite album to see what high score you can achieve in the end.
Beat Hazard 2 also allows you to integrate streaming platforms such as Spotify and YouTube to further increase the selection of your songs. In addition, the game throws procedurally generated bosses at you, which can take a lot and make your life even more difficult.Beat Hazard 3 also allows you more customization options for your ship and sorts your songs as individual stars of a galaxy that can be traveled individually. If you are a fan of rhythm games, you should definitely enjoy these galactic musical adventures
Beat Saber - May The Rhythm Be With You
If you own a VR headset, you can venture into one of the sweatiest rhythm games ever with Beat Saber. The game demands full physical effort from you and is not satisfied with half measures.To fight your way through the songs in Beat Saber, your two VR controllers transform into two lightsabers with which you have to cut the blocks racing towards you to the beat of the music. But it's not enough to just wave wildly around.
You have to split a block with the right color and in the right direction to make it disappear. So when a red block with a left arrow appears, you have to slice it from right to left with the red saber. The same applies to blue blocks and their arrows .That alone would be a good sporting challenge. But there are also beat blocks racing towards you that are so massive that you can't break them up at all.
Here you have to either lean your body to the side or crouch if you want to stay in the game. And then combining such actions with your sword skills feels almost like the entrance exam to the Jedi school.So make yourself some space in your home. Otherwise, some things are bound to sail off tables or shelves if you want to excel in this crazy mix of rhythm game and lightsaber combat!
Osu! - Beat Hunter
Osu! is perhaps one of the more classic rhythm games in this list. In the game, you use your keyboard's numpad and mouse to hit and hold beats. The process is relatively simple.You first target a beat block with the mouse cursor and then press the corresponding number key on the numpad. When a beat block describes an arc, you need to hold down the button and trace the shape with the mouse.
But what initially sounds like a walk in the park quickly turns into hectic clicking, typing and cursing. Osu! has some tracks in his assortment of songs that will make your brow sweat and your eyes water.The beats appear brutally fast and demand reaction speeds of young rhythm gods from you. If you love challenges, you shouldn't miss this game.
Conclusion
Rhythm games are the perfect fusion of music and gaming. The games allow you to party to loud beats or, like in Beat Hazard, to your own favorite music and at the same time have tough challenges ready. The selection of games is large and new offshoots with other ideas are constantly coming around the corner. It doesn't matter whether you want to assert yourself against nightmare monsters armed with a controller like in Thumper or whether you prefer to cut everything short and small as a rhythm Sith in Beat Saber - there is a suitable game for every player. May the battle of rhythm games begin!
