Dead as Disco is a rhythmic brawler by independent studio Brain Jar Games. The game combines a dynamic combat system with a synthwave setting full of neon colors and a retro-inspired atmosphere.
Dead as Disco is a beat 'em up with a strong rhythmic component. Every attack - punch, dodge, combo - is synchronized with the music, giving the clashes the feel of a spectacular dance show.
Items, moves and skills are developed through Idols' so-called "music tracks" - mastering the rhythm of a particular song unlocks new attacks, abilities and fighting styles. This allows us to adjust the style of play to our own preferences: from dynamic, fast counterattacks to powerful, impressive combos.
Dead as Disco focuses on solo gameplay, offering a story campaign in which we go through stages full of clashes with enemies and bosses. In addition, we have the opportunity to join forces in co-op mode, and then compete for dominance on the dance floor thanks to scoreboards that encourage you to break records and perfect mastery of rhythm.
The production also supports modding and custom content creation: from uploading your own music to editing music videos to designing rhythmic challenges synchronized to any song.
In Dead as Disco we play the role of Charlie Disco - the former idol and drummer of the eponymous band Dead as Disco, who died under mysterious circumstances. Ten years after his death, the surviving members of the band are preparing a big reunion - a memorial concert for the "dead" musician. The problem is that Charlie returns not as a legend, but as someone eager for answers.
Instead of a nostalgic return to the stage, he faces the bitter truth about betrayal, ambition and his own downfall. Now he must face his former colleagues in a series of rhythmic battles, unravel the intrigue behind his death and decide whether he wants redemption - or revenge.
