God of Rock

Mechanics

God of Rock features a roster of unique fighters, each with unique combat styles and movesets.

Just like in old-school fighting games, battles take place on various small arenas. This game, however, requires the player to attack to the rhythm of the music. At the bottom of the screen there's a timeline with passing notes. The player must press the buttons assigned to the notes at the right time. This is how we attack, the damage depending on our timing and positioning (the closer to the center of the arena we are, the stronger the move will be).

Throughout each fight we earn points, which fill up the special move and EX move meter. The former are more powerful than usual attacks, while the latter make the enemy's music track more difficult to follow and inflict other debuffs. Once we've fully charged the meter, we can execute a devastating Super attack.

Game modes

God of Rock features a story mode, in which we let the chosen musician reach stardom, as well as local and online multiplayer. The game also lets us practice in training mode or modify specific tracks in the track editor, adding and removing notes.

Technical aspects

The colorful, cartoonish visuals of God of Rock are not only very appealing, but also clearly and easily understandable, without unnecessary clutter. The soundtrack is made up of 40 diverse music tracks.
