Acclaim and Ridiculous Games have announced that their rhythm-based dungeon crawler GRIDbeat! is in development for Nintendo Switch.
You slip into the role of a hacker who has breached Knoss.OS, the planet’s most impenetrable corporate network, and made off with a payload of priceless data.
Trapped within the Mainframe’s sprawling digital labyrinth, every keystroke is arhythm and every move a measure in your desperate dance for survival. You will be challenged to outmanoeuvre relentless security protocols, topple brutal military simulations and evade corrupting viral code, who all want nothing more than to delete you forever.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Beat-Based Dungeon Crawling: In GRIDbeat!, movement, combat, and interaction all happen on the beat. Every level is a tactical challenge where rhythm equals survival.
- Pulse-Pounding Maze Exploration: As you navigate the data labyrinths, keep an eye out for all manner of hazards, including Server Formats that can wipe a level clean.
- Evolving Abilities & Power-Ups: Install powerful software tools to help you overcome system threats, uncover secrets, and solve challenges.
- Cyber.Mind Boss Battles: Defeat powerful AI gatekeepers in intense beat-based battles to continue your journey and reach the final exit port out of the Mainframe.
- Step into the Rhythm: GRIDbeat!’s electrifying soundtrack pulls you into the action, where every move, ability, and attack pulses to the beat. Sync your gameplay with the music and let the soundtrack guide your every step through the Grid!
GRIDbeat! will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide, with a release date or window unspecified.
