Experience the award-winning rhythm-action adventure where every punch, combo, dodge, and cinematic moment moves to the beat, now featuring the free Arcade Challenge! Update with new game modes, extra rewards, and expanded replayability, while continuing under publisher KRAFTON.
Hi-Fi RUSH is a stylish rhythm-action game developed by Tango Gameworks that follows Chai, an aspiring rockstar who is accidentally fused with a music player after a robotic enhancement experiment goes wrong. Branded as a defect by the powerful Vandelay Technologies corporation, Chai joins an unlikely team of rebels to bring down the corrupt megacorp through fast-paced, music-driven combat.
Unlike traditional action games, every aspect of Hi-Fi RUSH—from enemy attacks and platforming to environmental animations and cinematic sequences—syncs perfectly with the soundtrack, rewarding players for staying on the beat without forcing strict rhythm-game precision. The game combines satisfying hack-and-slash gameplay, colorful cel-shaded visuals, memorable characters, and an energetic licensed and original soundtrack. Players can further extend the experience with the free Arcade Challenge! Update, which introduces new gameplay modes, cosmetic rewards, Photo Mode additions, and extra challenges for veteran players.
