Not only do see Chai moving to the beat, you see the whole environment come to life before your eyes. Yes, to have a great score when fighting enemies, you need to make sure to match the beat as much as you can, but having the beat come to life in the world around you as you play make this much more natural in the gameplay. Instead of the goal be based around making sure you match the beat to succeed, the whole world is alive with the musical beat. We saw the success of this style of game with the release of MetalHellsinger last year and since it’s release I have wanted another game that kept me on my toes the way it did. The story is great, but the biggest highlight of this game is the wonderful music based combat.

Everything about the story had me wanting to learn more about these characters, their backstories, and every fine-tuned detail about the world we were presented with. That’s the best way to describe the story, it is just straight-up anime-quality storytelling at its best. The art style in the game makes you feel like you’re watching the latest anime play out before your eyes and with the great voice cast Tango Gameworks chose…I have to say I kinda need this animated show to happen now. Not only does the story have a great plot and likeable characters, but it is a great mesh of comedy, drama, and action. This is when the story picks up and hits that perfect spot for me. As the story continues you find more joining the cause including Macaron (a disgruntled employee) and his robotic assistant CNMN (cinnamon). During the testing, a freak accident fuses his music player into his body becoming a “power source.” After learning that Vandelay Industries plans on enslaving all humanity, Chai decides to use his new power to bring them down.Īfter meeting 808, a robotic cat that talks, you find out the voice of the cat is actually Peppermint, an underground hacker who wants to stop Vandelay as badly as you do. Added support for scrolling with the mouse wheel when reading Vlogs for a smooth and refreshing Vlog reading experience.In Hi-fi Rush, you play as Chai, a wannabe rock star who becomes a test subject for Vandelay Industries.Fixed an issue where Partner Assists could become locked in “aiming mode” when pressing Alt+Tab during gameplay.

It seems that even a hologram of Chai is still capable of screwing things up…

Addressed a collision issue with the 'Holo-Chai' Special Attack that could prevent player progress when the decoy is deployed out of bounds during combat.

(Track 12) Fixed a rare issue where a successful Rhythm Parry against Kale’s Phase 1 end sequence would result in a game crash.

(Track 10) Fixes an issue where the player could still control Chai at the end event of Roquefort’s second phase and potentially fall out of the arena as Phase 3 of the fight begins.

(Track 09) Addressed an issue where the FPS would lock at 60FPS for the remainder of the Mimosa fight following the guitar-playing musical interlude section.

(Track 06) Fixed an issue where a successful Rhythm Parry against Korsica would result in a game crash.

Now, returning to the Hideout requires you to hold the cancel button while in the Training Room menu.

Adjusted the menu in the Training Room to avoid accidentally returning to the Hideout.
