About
--GAME OVERVIEW--
Rhythm Storm is a roguelike bullet heaven/horde survivor with heavy rhythmic elements. Your vehicle automatically aims and fires (player-controlled twin-stick firing is possible at any time) while you control movement and a special power. You select a vehicle, set it's initial configuration and powers, then proceed into the action. Nearly everything in the world (except you) moves to the beat, and your goal is to survive to the end of each song. There are 3 main worlds, a boss, and a bonus world, each with its own unique song and mix of enemies.
--VECTOR GRAPHICS, NO TEXTURES--
Rhythm Storm uses untextured lines and polygons in rendering the game world and UI (along with a few fullscreen effects). The game visuals are crisp and clear, and the more resolution you give it the better it looks. For the best experience, it is recommended that you play the game on a 1440p (or higher) monitor with a refresh rate of 120hz or higher. [Playing the game at 1080p/60hz is still enjoyable, just less than ideal.]
--RHYTHMIC GAMEPLAY--
Rhythm Storm is a musical experience, but it's not a traditional rhythm game. Nothing your vehicle does is synced to the music, but much of the world IS synced. Wave changes happen every 8 bars of music, powerups and the world pulse to the beat, the UI is jamming to the beat, and many of the enemies move to the beat. Enemy spawning is also synced. Though the game is heavily synced to the music, no musical talent or beat-synced button pressing is required to succeed at the game.
--REFINED BULLET HEAVEN FORMULA--
At its core, Rhythm Storm is similar to other Bullet Heaven/Swarm Survivor/Horde Survivor games in structure. At the start of the game, you configure your vehicle's default upgrades, which includes the starting weapon(s). You also select which 4 categories of upgrade types you want to see (these are called Upgrade Sets).
During gameplay, you destroy enemies and collect XP as usual. When you collect enough XP to upgrade, you'll choose between 2 sets of upgrades. Each set has 3 upgrades, two of which are from the upgrade set category, while the third upgrade is more random. It's simpler and more intuitive than it sounds, and keeps the pace of play going while still allowing for a variety of builds and dynamic choices. More choices are also available once you unlock the re-roll modifier (semi-permament meta-progression upgrades).

Question: What do you get when you combine the tanks from Tron's "Space Paranoids", a triple espresso and slick, modern, graphics? Answer: Rhythm Storm! Lightweight, fast-paced, easy to access but with a pace that quickly ramps up, I found this to be a quick and easy blast 'em up which satisfies the need for easily accessible action with a pretty coat of paint. Speaking of graphics; the game looks great and runs well even on my (now 10 year old!) system, and the sound FX and accompanying soundtrack pair really well with the on screen mayhem and menus alike! There's a lot to unlock if you stick with it, and progress can feel a little slow here, but that may be because of my own preference to dip in and play half an hour here and there, rather than really grind. YMMV. That said, for the price, it's a bargain and a whole lot of fun.

The storm really do be Rhythming
Just an insane amount of lasers in the form of a well rounded, well coded survivor game. Well worth it's price in my opinion, no other game offers more electrons per dollar than this one.
I need to calm down, this game is too hype. You have taken Geometry Wars and Vampire Survivors, combined them, and put them both to shame. I'm half an hour into this game. And I know that my dad, who's played months of geometry wars 2 on Xbox 360 non-stop, would love this game. I know this is going to sound like and you might say "Has this guy ever played a video game before?". I never have been baffled in this way, but the first impressions from just starting the game were amazing. I never realized how important first impressions were when it came to just STARTING UP the game. You hear the music, transition from the credits of creator to creator, then the title of the game. It gets in your face as it takes up the screen, then zooms out and now you're in the main menu. No sponsors fading in and out, no fading in the title and menu options like a lot of games do. You can tell they wanted to be different in the way they gave this attention. I thought that going into this game, it was going to be a slow build up to power similar to a lot of survivors games. Nope, immediate god status. Not because the enemies are weak (still haven't gotten past world 2), the first character you get shocks enemies around you. Its so satisfying, everything turns to dust. As you get surrounded by enemies, your turret guy automatically targets the closest enemies but you can aim with the right stick when you want to take control. Its perfect for mindful and mindless game play. And one thing that I know for certain that survivors games and geometry wars doesn't have, chain explosions. There a type of enemy in the game that if you cluster them, and kill one, you create a beautiful fiery ball. I had to pause the game to take the moment in. The transitions from the game to the upgrade screen is kinda futuristic. Its hard to explain, but I'm not talking about the art style, I'm talking about the way the game behaves when it comes to transitions and displaying information. Kinda how you might expect playing a game from the future would feel like. 10/10, would buy again. P.S. Add multiplayer, please and thank you.
I do want to like this one, but it turns my computer into a bomb.
This game is a rather good mix of Beat Saber and Vampire Survivors, but definitely stands on its own merit. Performs excellently on the Steam Deck, looks gorgeous while you're at it. The music by Auvic is very solid too, and though there's not many tracks in the game they fit well and don't get stale. Gameplay wise, the roguelike aspect is done excellently and both the temporary and permanent upgrades feel very satisfying. Thanks to all the different ships and modifiers there's a lot of variety too. Difficulty is keeping the game fun, it's quite challenging even on the normal modes until you get a hang of the game. If there was any suggestions I could give the game, it'd be to give the player some downtime. There is music in the pause screens and menus too, and while it's very good, it can get a bit overwhelming especially if you've just completed a difficult run as the beat never stops- making extended sessions or repeat runs less attractive. Overall, I'd give a 9/10 for Rhythm Storm- it looks, sounds and feels beautiful. Decent gameplay and variety too, and it's only just launched! I'm definitely excited to see what happens next with it. Well done.
Fun addictive game!
So fun but NEEDS endless mode, more worlds, etc. Would play this all the time
Great content, especially in terms of look and style, but it seems it will have limited longevity. The core challenge remains the same each time without any real variation and no endless mode, so after you've beaten a few runs it just becomes a game of 'well, what about this different weapon combo?' Still, definitely worth the price and the play.
