Rhythm Fighter is an interesting take on the genre, attempting something that feels unique, especially from a gameplay perspective. However it doesn’t quite stick the landing. There is plenty to do, things to unlock, and a good amount of variety on your runs, yet for some reason Rhythm FIghter never feels as engaging as other games in the genre. All too quickly it grows repetitive, showing that there is a fine line between an addictive gameplay loop and a monotonous one.

Critic reviews
- 7.0Rhythm Fighter provides an interesting concept and although the beginning is overwhelming, it is an enjoyable and forgiving experience. You don’t need much sense of rhythm or direction, making it a friendly experience for many. It starts to become repetitive despite the battlefield being randomly generated, but its catchy music encourages you to pick up the game again and again.
- 7.5Rhythm Fighter finds a good home on Switch as it melds together music and mayhem for short bursts of gameplay. The sheer variety with all of its characters, randomness, and potential systems make it a perfect fit for the handheld. Still, the gameloop isn’t as addictive as I could have hoped for, with some mechanics not leaving a lasting impression.
- 8.0Rhythm Fighter is a wacky musical time for roguelike fans. With an amazing EDM-infused soundtrack and innovative gameplay, you should definitely download this delightful game.
- 7.0Landing multiple hits or moves on the beat boosts your attacks, eventually powering up your character, something that’s essential to tackling the game’s really tough enemies. That said, while missing the beat or getting hit saps your strength, it doesn’t prevent you from attacking or moving; the game doesn’t stop you cold just because you’re off the beat.
- 8.0Rhythm Fighters is a fun and innovative roguelite which should keep you entertained for quite some time, affording you the opportunity to put your headphones in, sit back and relax to some funky beats while you beat up evil veg for laughs.
