Starting with the elevator pitch, a game mixing up a rhythm game with a beat-em-up, Terrorhythm had my interest. At a glance its stylish and futuristic looks also add to its appeal. Unfortunately, where things get a bit more dicey is in the gameplay itself and a lack of overall variety. Granted, beat-em-ups tend to traditionally be a bit on the repetitive side but they can compensate with cool attacks or combos and a need to maneuver around the screen. Here you just have enemies coming from either side of the screen that you’ll take out… but ideally that will happen to the beat, bringing the two elements of the game together. Except whether it has something to do with the animations, the muddiness of the beats in the track, or perhaps the responsiveness of the controls it just doesn’t quite connect somehow. It’s playable, it has its moments, and it’s in the proximity of coming together, but the end product just doesn’t quite gel unfortunately. Overall this makes for a playable game that is uneven and not terribly satisfying for fans of either genre.
