    Rhythm action roguelite Blade of Rhythm launches on Steam and consoles

    RibCage Games has released its rhythm action roguelite Blade of Rhythm on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, priced at 55 RMB / 17.99 USD with a 10% first-week discount on Steam. The game uses no input quantization, so every attack fires the moment a key is pressed and only on-beat hits become more lethal. Its weapons are based on real instruments recorded in a studio, and reverb, flanger, and delay effects reshape both combat and the mix of each run.
