KickBeat

During the game, enemies will come at you from all directions. You must press the direction or corresponding button to where the enemy is attacking. This all takes place to the rhythm of the current song.

The story of KickBeat starts off with all of the world's music being stolen. It is up to the player to use the remaining 18 songs (the game's soundtrack) to free the rest of the music.

The game features its own soundtrack, but there is an option in the Steam Edition to import music for further game play. The Special Edition includes a total of 11 artists and 24 songs, with some artists contributing multiple songs.
