It’s always exciting to discover fresh new takes on old existing genres. And whilst we had got a little bored of the standard Battle Royale scene, we’re always up for a new take. It’s that which should get your wings flapping as you flock to the rather delightful Headbangers Rhythm Royale as it releases on Xbox, Game Pass, PlayStation, Switch and PC.
Flap to the beat with Headbangers Rhythm Royale on Xbox and Game Pass
Available right now on Xbox and PC, through Game Pass should you prefer not to splash the cash, is Headbangers Rhythm Royale. Created by the Glee-Cheese team and helped to market by those at Team17, this is a new rhythm-based take on Battle Royale. You’ll also find the game on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
Headbangers Rhythm Royale is fairly simple really. It places you in the role of a little pigeon who is left to tap, flap and rap their way through a series of mini-games, all in hope of being crowned champion Headbanger. Feeling a little PaRapper the Rapper in vibes, it’ll be the mastering of the beat and getting down with the sounds that will see success found. And if you fail, you’ll be left to run again, ‘Crumbs’ in tow to ensure customisation can be had.
There are a variety of mini-games in place too. There’s memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction times and rapping to partake in across some twenty-three options. Let the key features sell a download of Headbangers Rhythm Royale to you a little more.
