Unique two-dimensional skillfulness of the creators of Rock Band series, referring to the classics of "bullet hell" automatic shooters. Playing the role of a member of an ancient clan, we penetrate the dreams of people and eliminate the demons that inhabit them. The fun comes down to avoiding waves of missiles and eliminating enemies, and the whole gameplay is closely synchronized with the original, pulsating soundtrack.
A City Sleeps follows Poe, youngest member of The Silk, an ancient clan of dream exorcists that can enter the minds of sleeping hosts to rid their dreams of demons. When the residents of SanLo fall into an endless slumber, only Poe can rescue them from a never-ending nightmare. Equipped with her legendary Koto-sword “Heartstrings”, and flanked by her stable of powerful ghost familiars, she must cleanse their dreams, and uncover the city’s dark secrets.
Driven by an unforgettable original soundtrack that builds through player actions and enemy engagement, A City Sleeps infuses classic twin-stick hardcore shoot ‘em up sensibilities with moment-to-moment tactical choices.

Game Ratings for A City Sleeps Video Game.
PCWorld: 4 / 5 by Hayden Dingman
Harmonix's rhythm-based shoot-em-up A City Sleeps is nightmarishly difficult, but that shouldn't stop you from playing.
Shacknews: 7 / 10 by Steven Wong
A City Sleeps' high difficulty level is bound to limit the game's appeal to hardcore players. Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that the game is unbeatable, but there were times when I felt hopelessly stuck, and it's probably one of the longest "short" games I've ever played.
COGconnected: 55 / 100 by Matt Cullen
In the end I hate to say it, but I've never been so bored with a shooter before.
