Hello-Fi Rush stars the wannabe rocker Chai as he battles for freedom from an insidious robotics firm with the ability of music. Just like the encore after a stellar live performance, the Arcade Problem! Replace! for Hello-Fi Rush provides much more for gamers to find after finishing the raucous story mode – and finest but, it’s out NOW and free for all gamers!
The Arcade Problem! Replace! provides two new recreation modes accessible by way of a brand new arcade cupboard accessible after ending the story, on prime of a wealth of challenges, secrets and techniques and goodies to uncover just by feeling the beat and diving into the colourful world of Hello-Fi Rush.
“These two modes take what we’ve put into our battle mechanics and ask you to essentially put your abilities to the check,” says John Johanas, Sport Director for Hello-Fi Rush at Tango Gameworks. “We strongly suggest you’ve perhaps taken a run by means of the Rhythm Tower [available in the base game], know find out how to use all of your combos and assists, and really feel emotionally prepared – you don’t wish to be second guessing what strikes you possibly can pull off!”
The primary of those new modes – BPM Rush! – pits Chai in opposition to waves of enemies that don’t simply enhance their forces between rounds. The beats per minute, or BPM, for the music that amplifies your strikes (and your opponents’!) additionally ramps up, with later levels reaching as much as a blistering 200 BPM.
“For reference, the very best velocity in the principle recreation was 160 BPM,” says Johanas. “[The Update!] options an Simple and Regular mode which displays the quantity of harm you obtain and enemies take, however the general gameplay is identical. Nevertheless, finishing both Regular or Simple will unlock an extra issue, EX Mode, which begins you nearly proper on the prime velocity and places you in opposition to waves of high-level enemies as their injury progressively will increase between every wave!”
Regardless of breakneck speeds and relentless robotic hordes to take care of BPM Rush!, that is nonetheless Hello-Fi Rush. “The trick to this mode is identical as at all times: Feeling the beat!,” explains Johanas. “Even at excessive speeds, the basics of fight are the identical, so your assaults nonetheless land on the beat.” After all, enemy assaults are additionally nonetheless synced to the beat – carry on rhythm and comply with up with a Rhythm Parry and also you’ll be turning these dangerous guys to scrap very quickly!
“These two modes take what we’ve put into our battle mechanics and ask you to essentially put your abilities to the check.”
After all, Chai can be no stranger to working his method up from the underside (he’s lastly had his second guitar lesson, we hear) so taking your time can be key. “Like working towards a tough riff on a guitar, we modeled BPM Rush! on normal music follow methods. Begin out slowly and construct your self as much as these excessive speeds,” says Johanas. “Possibly you received’t get all the best way to 200 BPM the primary time, however strive it once more and all of a sudden the primary wave at 135 BPM feels a bit like sluggish movement the place you possibly can see the assaults coming a mile away!”
The second recreation mode now accessible in Hello-Fi Rush’s free Arcade Problem! Replace! is a twist on the sport’s Rhythm Tower mode. In Energy Up! Tower Up!, gamers battle their method up the Tower, tackling rooms of enemies and racking up a excessive rating, however now with a de-powered Chai! Don’t fret, although, as you’ll earn a choice of Upgrades between rounds to bulk Chai up!
“We had a whole lot of enjoyable placing some difficult, but typically goofy ways in which Upgrades can have an effect on Chai on this mode. They offer stat bonuses that deliver Chai again as much as the place he was in the principle recreation with issues like protection, offense and associate assists,” explains Johanas. “They will even take you previous the utmost, so you possibly can overpower some facets of Chai!”
Nevertheless, some Upgrades might also include particular constructive or unfavorable modifiers, known as Bonuses and Bugs, that have an effect on how the following battle’s going to go down. “Generally you’ll get fortunate and Zanzo’s laser drones might be in your facet and taking out enemies for a flooring,” says Johanas. “However different instances, you might must be careful for lengthy vary enemies since all beam assaults can now deal considerably extra injury!”
If some Upgrades include potential negatives, why take them up in any respect? As defined by Johanas, danger can probably internet a giant reward. “In Energy Up! Tower Up!, the best way to get that coveted S Rank is along with your last rating, which is closely influenced by your last rating multiplier. The upper danger Upgrades you are taking, the extra your last multiplier will enhance, with safer upgrades providing much less of a bonus. Moreover, getting a recreation over isn’t the tip of your run however does knock a major chunk off your last multiplier, so that you’ll wish to select properly and play properly.”
It’s not simply excessive scores gamers are vying for in these new recreation modes. Additionally included within the Arcade Problem! Replace! are 40 new challenges to tackle – 20 for every recreation mode – that may earn gamers candy rewards.
“Possibly you received’t get all the best way to 200 BPM the primary time, however strive it once more and all of a sudden the primary wave at 135 BPM feels a bit like sluggish movement!”
“Some are simple, like simply giving new modes a strive, and a few require you to grasp some methods like, say, performing an ideal rhythm parry at 200 BPM!” explains Johanas. “Every of those challenges has a rating utilized to them relying on their issue and reaching them tallies up that rating to unlock prizes.”
The prizes up for grabs vary from equipment for Chai to costumes for 808 and even the fan-favorite Korsica, plus further Photograph Mode rewards reminiscent of new poses for every character, specialised filters, and extra sticker packs to customise your photographs! “This new replace provides you the primary sticker pack instantly,” Johanas provides.
“You can too unlock new Particular Assaults that characteristic each CNMN and Smidge serving to out in their very own particular method throughout battle. Lastly, we’ve got one thing particular for many who wish to name themselves… completionists. We wish to go overboard with placing little secrets and techniques in our updates however for this one, whereas it may not be so little, it actually is a big thanks to everybody who’s performed Hello-Fi Rush thus far.”
