City of Beats is a shoot’em up with elements taken from roguelikes and rhythm games. The game was developed by independent studio Torched Hill and was the team’s most ambitious project at the time of release. In City of Beats, the story plays a secondary role. The game takes us on a journey through a cyberpunk city and lets us take on the role of a shooter who, during subsequent expeditions, destroys hordes of hooligans hiding on the roofs of skyscrapers. All this in order to face your sworn enemy — a rogue artificial intelligence named Zeitgeber.
