Key Features Rhythmic Strategy: Drop attacks and abilities into the music loop to unleash perfect-timed strikes. Endless Enemy Waves: Face increasingly dangerous hordes and reconfigure your loadout on the fly. Cyber-punk Aesthetic: Neon visuals, stylized characters, and dynamic VFX synchronized to the beat.
