In Vinyl City, rock musicians Mayday and Zuke challenge the EDM-dominated NSR regime. Their journey takes them through the city and into confrontations with musical stars from different genres.
Fight in third-person action battles using attacks, dodges and parries against enemies and distinctive bosses. Encounters include changing patterns and mechanics, while sections between fights add platforming and smaller enemy battles.
Explore the city hub, improve combat abilities and switch equipment as you progress. You can revisit boss fights at different difficulty levels, collect fan art around Vinyl City, and play locally with a second player. Encore Edition also includes Christmas-themed content and additional music.
Players often praise the soundtrack, colorful art direction and character designs, with many also enjoying the distinct boss encounters and the world of Vinyl City. Some describe the music and presentation as the game's strongest elements, while opinions on the story and gameplay are more mixed. Recurring complaints include clunky or repetitive combat, rhythm cues that can feel inconsistent, and camera or control problems, especially in co-op.
