I am unable to say that I’ve ever puzzled what would occur if I mashed Guitar Hero up with Avenue Fighter, however I strongly suspect that if I did, I might find yourself with one thing fairly a bit like God of Rock (opens in new tab), a brand new rhythm preventing sport being developed by Modus Studios that was introduced as we speak on the Future Video games Present (opens in new tab).
First issues first: You aren’t the god of rock in God of Rock. That honor goes to a mysterious entity who, strictly for kicks, decides to resurrect the souls of the best musicians in historical past and make them do battle with each other. “Revitalized with new our bodies and new powers, every musician will change into a contestant in his sport, battling it out with one another for musical supremacy on a worldwide stage,” developer Modus Studios mentioned.
God of Rock will function 12 “wildly totally different characters,” eight phases, and greater than 40 unique songs at launch, with coaching and story modes, native and ranked on-line multiplayer, and a observe editor that can allow gamers to switch the sport’s music. Every fighter has their very own distinctive design, mechanics, and “harmonic assaults,” which incorporates each regular assaults that soften up opponents, together with extra advanced particular strikes and devastating tremendous assaults. Whereas the fists are flying, gamers can even must preserve to the beat, which can change into tougher because the music grows extra advanced and tough because the battle progresses.
It is a bizarre thought, however generally these are one of the best, or no less than probably the most doubtlessly attention-grabbing, and albeit if this implies I get to observe Mozart beat Elvis’ ass, I am prepared to offer it a shot. God of Rock is about to return out within the winter of 2022, and you will discover out extra (and wishlist it, should you like) on Steam (opens in new tab).
And now, allow us to rock.
