Think you have what it takes to defeat the most talented artists in the universe? Now’s your chance to test your skills, as attendees of this weekend’s Holiday Matsuri event can get their hands on a new playable demo. Holiday Matsuri is an anime, gaming, cosplay, and pop culture convention that takes place in Orlando, Florida. Learn more about the event at www.holidaymatsuri.com.
Face off against your opponents as one of the universe’s greatest talents, and with the power of your righteous beats, blast them into orbit. You and your enemy will engage in a match just like in any other fighting game, but the actual battle will be driven by rhythm game mechanics. Follow the prompts scrolling across the screen, spurred on by music that’s been dictated by the stage and characters selected, to unleash attacks on your foe.
As battles continue and health bars wear down, the beat will pick up. Keep up with the music, or your attacks will miss their mark. In these fights, the one who loses their groove first will be the one to fall. Special and Ultra attacks must be utilized to their fullest extent to take control of the fight. You’re not a background musician – you’re the lead artist!
God of Rock releases April 18, 2023 on PlayStation® 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.
