What is Hi-Fi RUSH?
You play Chai, a wannabe rock star who’s labelled defective after a shady corporate experiment fuses a music player to his heart. Platforming, enemy attacks and even the gags are synced to the beat.
Time your moves to land Beat Hits, special abilities and team-up attacks with your allies as you fight robot armies and each department’s boss inside an evil megacorp. The soundtrack mixes original music with licensed tracks from Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy and The Joy Formidable, and there’s a streamer-friendly mode that swaps the licensed songs for original tracks.
