Superbeat: Xonic

About

Superbeat: Xonic is a rhythm game where you hit notes in time with music using buttons or a touchscreen. Three difficulty modes, 4 TRAX, 6 TRAX, and 6 TRAX FX, offer increasing complexity as you play through three-song sets. Each performance gets a score you can upload to leaderboards if online. The tracklist spans house, R&B, indie pop, and metal, with original compositions from producers like 3rd Coast and ND Lee. The game leans into its arcade roots with tight controls and a focus on precision. While it lacks multiplayer or story elements, the 50+ tracks and escalating challenge of higher modes keep things fresh. Nurijoy’s background in rhythm games like DJMax is evident in the polished execution, though the Vita/PC port limits its reach compared to newer rhythm titles. Players looking for a no-frills beat-based challenge might find it rewarding.
