Today's game is a Demo from a game called Dead as Disco. I saw a clip from it online and it looked really interesting. Unfortunately there's only a free Demo online, but it still looked really good so i gave it a try.

It controls kind of like the Arkham games meet a rhythm game, which while i personally struggle with rhythm games, this one in particular i had fun with. It's really satisfying to match the beat and pummel enemies.

One complaint i have is that i sometimes feel like my inputs aren't registered. Granted, Steam on linux for me has a bug where it will randomly open the web window and reset. Sometimes this isn't rendered though, so it may not be the game's fault.

Overall, there's not much to say about this game but it is fun. There's one level in development and there's an infinite Disco. The story seems kind of like a "getting the band back together" story about Charlie Disco (the player character) who came back to life. The story kind of gives me Max Payne 1 vibes too. Infinite Disco lets you import your own songs too, but i couldnt get it to sync right. It's a free demo so i'd highly advise picking it up. It's a lot of fun!

Interesting. Not a big fan of rhythm games, but this looks cool.
