The mobile gaming scene has often felt like it's missing a robust rhythm game presence, with notable exceptions like Space Ape's Beatstar. However, a new contender has emerged to shake things up. Rhythm Control 2, a sequel to the beloved 2012 original, has made its triumphant return, now available on Android devices!
If you're a veteran gamer, you might recall the original Rhythm Control, which soared to the top of the charts in Japan and Sweden. The sequel, Rhythm Control 2, builds on this legacy by featuring a diverse soundtrack from both Western and Japanese artists, including Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben. This mix of tunes promises to keep you tapping to the beat and chasing those sky-high scores!
Unlike traditional rhythm games where you tap falling icons, Rhythm Control 2 introduces a fresh mechanic. Players must tap six nodes in succession, with the sequences growing increasingly complex. This innovative twist, along with additional gameplay elements, sets it apart and adds a new layer of challenge and excitement.
**Control yourself** Rhythm Control 2 is a welcome addition to the mobile rhythm game genre. While I enjoy Beatstar, its song selection often feels too mainstream. Rhythm Control 2, on the other hand, offers the thrill of chasing high scores while introducing you to unique tracks, including obscure Japanese techno that might just ignite a new passion for niche genres. Or perhaps that's just my experience?
