When you’ve got those previously behind Final Fantasy XV and Street Fighter V in tow, you should be on to a bit of a winner. And that is why the launch of No Straight Roads on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC has been so hotly anticipated.
Available to purchase and download this very minute on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC (via the Epic Games Store), No Straight Roads is an action adventure title that somehow manages to mash up a bit of rhythm-infused combat with a strange offbeat world, and an utterly killer soundtrack.
Created by those at Metronomik, and directed by Wan Hazmer, lead game designer of Final Fantasy XV, and Daim Dziauddin, concept artist of Street Fighter V, No Straight Roads will see you starting your very own rock band, before embarking on a career that looks set to deliver a full-on EDM empire. And how much will this career cost? How does £34.99 sound?
The seedy world of Vinyl City is the location for No Straight Roads and it is here where you’ll be left to tackle the current EDM overlords at NSR, rocking out with an awesome array of moves, abilities and powers to ensure that it is your music that comes to the fore. A smattering of quirky and colourful characters await – will you be able to defeat them?
