How it feels

A fast-paced, rhythm-driven twin-stick shooter where every action syncs to the beat in a neon-soaked cyberpunk rooftop battle against rogue AI.

What players say

Players are split on City of Beats: some enjoy the unique fusion of shooting and music, but many find it more frustrating than fun. Complaints center on bullet-sponge enemies with constant shields, RNG-dependent upgrades that often feel useless, and controller aiming that requires dragging a cursor across the screen.
