Story Background: The world has been tainted by a corrupting force of “noise”. Those who are exposed to it might become manic, restless, and even transform into monsters. At the same time, people have discovered that electronic music can resist this transformation and restore people's sanity. Now, a group of exceptional teenagers will embark on a journey to vanquish the noise and restore peace by utilizing the power of electronic music. Experience different careers: The Early Access version contains three careers - Tachi Warrior, Gunner, and Boxer. Each of them has different talents and skills and possesses both “Common” and “Neon” forms, creating different combat experience. Free Combinations of Builds: Apart from the 7 factions of Builds in the game, we have 'Rhapsody' for attack and skill form transformation, a more flexible in-game Build system called 'Rhythm Launchpad', and a challenging gameplay mode named “Schrodinger's Noise” that involves both attribute boosts and debuffs. By mixing these various Build systems, players can enjoy exciting linking reactions and expeirence unique battles. Random Combinations Battlefields: Based on the random battlefield design in the 3D side-scrolling Roguelite games, we are presenting you REAL random elements including random events 'Blake's Shop' - players will randomly gain a buff or debuff, 'Nightmare Speaker' - timed challenges, and various fun mini-games. The game has over 400 battlefields, avoiding monotonous adventures. Feel the Beats of Electronic Music: Players can find their own fighting paces following the 'electronic music' in the game and decide whether to fight on the beats of the music. If they hit the beats, skills will have unexpected changes. When players enter a special status of 'Neonization', the BGM will be replaced with more intense electronic music. Put on your headphones, let music strike you in battle and feel the hype!
