There, she offers to help Chai escape if he agrees to help her investigate a conspiracy-provided to her by a personal source-behind Project Armstrong, leading the two to form a reluctant alliance. He is aided by an unseen ally, Peppermint ( Erica Lindbeck / Toa Yukinari), who communicates through the robotic cat, and is guided to her hideout. As he searches for a way to escape, he encounters a robotic cat named 808. As a result of the accident caused by Kale’s carelessness, Chai is labeled a defect and the facility's robotic security forces pursue him.Ĭhai discovers his new arm can deploy an electromagnetic grabber stick, originally meant for garbage collecting, which he uses to fashion a guitar-like weapon. As Chai’s limb replacement process is about to begin, Kale throws away Chai’s music player, which accidentally falls into Chai’s chest and embeds with it during the process, causing Chai to feel a musical connection with his surroundings. Unbeknownst to Chai, the CEO, Kale Vandelay ( Roger Craig Smith / Takehito Koyasu) secretly designates Chai to be a garbage collector for the company’s waste management. Story Ĭhai, a 25-year old man with a disabled right arm and a dream to become a rockstar, arrives at the Vandelay Technologies campus to volunteer for Project Armstrong, a test program for cybernetic limb replacement. Permanent upgrades to health and the special meter also appear in stages as collectibles.Ĭompleting the game once unlocks bonus features, such as the ability to revisit past levels and previously inaccessible areas, a new difficulty setting, and Rhythm Tower, a survival mode similar to Bloody Palace from the Devil May Cry series. In addition to combat, the game also features some platform game elements, as well as a system of upgrades to unlock new moves, abilities, and perks, which can be purchased with gears, an in-game currency earned in combat or by exploring levels. Each division is based on a particular musical style, and Chai engages in boss battles at various points. The game takes place across multiple linear stages, representing various divisions of the antagonist corporation. In addition to the beat-em-up action mechanics, there are also rhythm-based minigame elements where players repeat cues in a call-and-response fashion, or press buttons in rhythmic sequence based on on-screen cues. A parry move allows players to cancel enemy attacks by pressing the button at the exact moment of attacks. Attacking on rhythm is not required, as actions automatically sync up with the music, but by timing the button presses right the players are rewarded with higher damage output and timing-based combo finishers deal additional damage. Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm-action game where the protagonist Chai, his enemies, and parts of the environment move to the beat. The game received generally favorable reviews upon release from critics, who praised its visual style, art direction, humor, characters, and combat, though some noted its repetition, level design, and limited soundtrack. Hi-Fi Rush includes licensed music from bands such as The Black Keys and Nine Inch Nails. Labelled a "defect" and hunted by the corporation that transformed him, Chai bands together with new friends to defeat the company's executives and put a stop to their plans.
The game follows self-proclaimed "future rock star" Chai (voiced by Robbie Daymond in English and Hiro Shimono in Japanese), whose music player is accidentally embedded in his chest during experimental cybernetic surgery, allowing him to rhythmically fight and re-perceive the world through environmental synesthesia. It was announced on Januand released worldwide the same day.
