Superbeat: Xonic

released on Oct 22, 2015

SUPERBEAT: XONiC is an upcoming rhythm game developed by Nurijoy, a company formed by former employees of Pentavision. It is considered a spiritual successor to the DJMax music game series and its gameplay is based on the 2014 arcade game Beatcraft Cyclon, also made by Nurijoy. The gameplay of SUPERBEAT: XONiC consists of tapping notes to the beat of a song, either with the PlayStation Vita's face buttons or touchscreen. Modes, in order of difficulty, include 4 TRAX mode, 6 TRAX, and 6 TRAX FX. When selecting any mode, 3 tracks are played in succession and the player's performance is evaluated at the end. Local scores can be uploaded to a global online leaderboard if connected to the internet. SUPERBEAT will feature over 50 different tracks from a variety of genres, including soulful house, RnB, indie pop, progressive metal, and big beat and many more, and will include a collection of original music from producers such as 3rd Coast, ND Lee, Tsukasa and others.

I liked the controls for this game, using the left joystick and letter buttons to play with the music. I purchased this around the time I got MUSYNX and enjoyed them both, but this one reminded me more of a DDR, where as MUSYNX was more Guitar Hero. Lots of music and various BPM to give plenty of replayability.

The music selection here is so exotic. Really fun to play on the Vita.

A rock solid rhythm game that takes the Persona rhythm gameplay and cranks it to 11. The last few missions wikl tear you apart and expect pure perfection. One big caveat, the game is too hard for touch controls and the Switch's joystick layout makes this game ridiculously annoying to play. You need to constantly flick the Vita's little analog sticks, and the Switch sticks are just far enough out of the comfort zone to make this game doable.

Buy it on PS4 or Vita, it was not ported well to Switch or Xbox.

Xonic has awful controls, an awful soundtrack and awful readability, it certainly exists, but I prefer when games do a bit more than that.

this shitty game is really cool. huge fan. it's like djmax if respect never happened, and also not like djmax, but also the tracklist is really hilariously stupid sometimes, but really cool othertimes. you should buy a vita for this game. those other versions probably aren't as cool or good or shit since they're not on the vita.

Terrible on the Switch because the asymmetrical joystick setup feels way less intuitive. It's stellar on the PS4 though.
