Team17 and Glee-Cheese have confirmed a release date for their rhythm-based battle royale game Headbangers Rhythm Royale, which is coming to Nintendo Switch.
Promising “musical minigame madness,” you will compete in a series of increasingly tense rounds of chaotic minigames that test your memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time and ability to rap.
That could challenge you to copy the commander’s instructions in Yes Commander, play the piano with a slingshot in First Piano Shooter or be the first off the mark and into the solar system in To The Sky.
There are 23 musically inspired minigames and, with crossplay enabled multiplayer, you will battle it out against up to 29 other pigeons online to become the Master Headbanger. Your efforts will be rewarded with breadcrumbs that can be used to buy outfits, customisations and taunts to prune and perfect your pigeon.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Ruffle feathers: Memory, rhythm, reflexes, and reaction times will be put to the test across 23 minigames, each with their own unique musical twist
- Preen away: With hundreds of unique items to choose from, including full outfits, hats, glasses, voices, and taunts, players can take the top spot and fluff their feathers with their very own personalised pigeon
- Peck and earn breadcrumbs: Challenges and unlockable customisations await in the in-game battle pass, with players able to spend their hard-earned crumbs to help them be the most stylish pigeon in the flock
- Cross-flock support: Play with up to 29 other pigeons with crossplay enabled, friends and frenemies alike can battle in musical madness regardless of their gaming platform of choice
- Talon tapping music: With unique scores across each minigame, loading screen, and pigeon accessory menu, the party never stops with the bespoke scores written and created by the Glee-Cheese team.
Headbangers Rhythm Royale will release digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 31 October 2023.
