Shock breakout hit Hello-Fi Rush is formally Steam Deck verified, writer Bethesda Softworks introduced in a tweet on Thursday. The motion rhythm sport performs fantastically on Steam, and the hand held assist means you possibly can shred towards bosses on the go. I’ve discovered that the sport performs finest with a controller, and I can’t wait to attempt it out on the Deck.
Developed by Tango Gameworks, Hello-Fi Rush launched with minimal fanfare on the finish of January, and grew in reputation because of word-of-mouth suggestions. The title was additionally on Recreation Cross from day one, which means that subscribers don’t have any excuse to not attempt it.
In Hello-Fi Rush, you play as Chai, a man whose iPod is fused into his chest à la Iron Man because of a mistake throughout a robotic augmentation process. Chai is now absolutely in tune with the music — he strikes to the beat — however the robots on the Vandelay Applied sciences campus that he’s trapped in think about him an aberration. He should battle these enemies in battles set to the bangers on his playlist, which embody recognizable tracks from the Black Keys, Fiona Apple, 9 Inch Nails, and others. With trendy cel-shaded visuals besides, the sport reads very like Edgar Wright’s Child Driver (although the dialogue has extra in frequent with Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, from the identical filmmaker).
The place different rhythm video games could be a bit exacting, Hello-Fi Rush makes their magic accessible for a broader viewers. No matter your timing, you possibly can nonetheless assault efficiently; Chai will nonetheless strike on rhythm. Tapping the assault button on the beat simply means touchdown combos and getting a greater post-fight score. It’s completely a rush.
