Dead as Disco is a rhythm beat'em up that combines music with combat. We take on the role of Charlie Disco - a former idol of the titular band. He returns to the world of the living and embarks on a path of revenge, facing off against his former colleagues while the music sets the pace for each encounter.
Dead as Disco is a rhythm beat 'em up game developed by the independent studio Brain Jar Games. The game combines a dynamic combat system with a synthwave aesthetic full of neon colors and a retro-inspired atmosphere.
Dead as Disco is a beat 'em up with a strong rhythm component. Every attack - punch, dodge, combo - is synchronized with the music, giving the battles the feel of a spectacular dance show.
Items, moves, and skills are developed through the so-called music tracks of Idols. Mastering the rhythm of a given track unlocks new attacks, abilities, and fighting styles. This allows us to tailor their gameplay style to our preferences: from dynamic and quick counters to powerful impressive combos.
Dead as Disco focuses on solo gameplay, offering a story campaign where we progress through stages filled with battles against enemies and bosses. Additionally, there is an option to team up in coop mode and then compete for dominance on the dance floor through leaderboards. They encourage breaking records and mastering the rhythm perfectly.
The game also supports modding and creating custom content: from uploading our own music, editing music videos, to designing rhythm challenges synchronized with any track.
We take on the role of Charlie Disco in the game. He is a former idol and drummer of the titular band Dead as Disco, who died under mysterious circumstances. Ten years after his death, the surviving members of the band are preparing for a big reunion - a concert commemorating the "deceased" musician. The problem is that Charlie returns not as a legend, but as someone hungry for answers.
Instead of a nostalgic return to the stage, he faces the bitter truth about betrayal, ambitions, and his own downfall. Now he must confront his former bandmates in a series of rhythm battles, unravel the intrigue behind his death, and decide whether he seeks redemption - or revenge.
