This object then made Chai able to fight following the rhythm, aka the rhythm of the music. Hi-Fi Rush allows players to fight with their preferred style and combos but each rhythmic attack results in a bonus effect or special combo.

Chai will face enemies in the form of robots and humans who have robotic implants. It also offers platformer gameplay when Chai attacks the headquarters of a robotics company that wants to exterminate Chai because he considers himself a failed product.

Hi-Fi Rush was produced by studio Tango Gameworks, a Bethesda subsidiary that previously worked on a horror-themed game, Ghostwire: Tokyo. Their latest work feels very different.
