The mobile gaming scene has long been missing a vibrant rhythm game experience, with notable exceptions like Space Ape's Beatstar. However, fans of the genre have a reason to celebrate with the surprise re-release of Rhythm Control 2 now available on Android!
Those with a keen eye and perhaps a touch of nostalgia might recognize the name. Originally launched in 2012, Rhythm Control took the gaming world by storm, topping charts in Japan and Sweden. The sequel, Rhythm Control 2, breathes new life into the classic for modern devices.
This game brings a fresh twist to the rhythm genre with a diverse soundtrack featuring both Western and Japanese artists, including the likes of Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben. Instead of the traditional falling icon mechanic, players will tap on six nodes in a sequence that grows increasingly complex, challenging you to adapt to new patterns and twists.
**Control yourself** - Rhythm Control 2 is a standout addition to the mobile rhythm game scene. While Beatstar offers a solid experience, its song selection can feel a bit too mainstream. Rhythm Control 2, on the other hand, invites players to dive into the thrill of chasing high scores, often fueled by the discovery of obscure Japanese techno tracks that might just ignite a lifelong passion for niche genres.
