About the Game
Hi-Fi RUSH is Tango Gameworks' rhythm-driven action game where everything moves to the beat.
Hi-Fi RUSH is a single-player action game in which music sets the pace of nearly everything you see and do. You play as Chai, a would-be rock star who teams up with a ragtag group of allies to fight back against an evil corporation that enhances people with robot parts. Developed by Tango Gameworks and published by KRAFTON, it is the studio's newest title and comes from the same team behind Ghostwire: Tokyo.
The core loop is a rhythm-based brawler. Characters, environments, and combat all stay in sync with the soundtrack, so attacks and dodges land on the beat and each stage feels like a performance. Fights are built around waves of enemies, and the whole world runs on the same musical timing, which gives every encounter a distinct energy.
The setting is loud and playful rather than grim. Rebelling against a company that turns people into machines gives the story its stakes, but the tone leans into colorful, chaotic showmanship. The music is not just background audio here; it is the rhythm that drives the combat and the presentation.
The free update 遊戲機挑戰！更新！ adds two new modes to test your skills. BPM RUSH asks you to fight waves of enemies while the tempo steadily speeds up, reaching 200 BPM in the final stage. The tower-climbing mode builds on the rhythm tower unlocked after you first beat the game, but this time you must use randomly offered upgrades to power up a weakened Chai as you climb. The update also adds unlockable rewards earned through challenges and exploration, including photo mode poses, T-shirts, photo mode stickers, extra outfits, and new special attacks shared with the robot companions CNMN and 智冰箱.
Feature Highlights

Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy rhythm-driven combat and don't mind timing-based fights will likely love the way every hit lands on the beat. It also suits anyone who wants a bright, stylish action game with plenty of unlockables and a free challenge update to chase. Gamepad players get full controller support, which makes it especially comfortable to play.
Not Recommended For
Players who want a slow, low-stakes game may find the constant musical pressure tiring. Anyone who dislikes fast, rhythm-locked combat will likely find the pace demanding rather than fun.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Hi-Fi RUSH holds an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam, with about 97% of its reviews positive. That label sits at the top of Steam's scale, and the review count runs to tens of thousands of reviews, so the rating rests on a large sample rather than a handful of opinions.
Overwhelmingly Positive generally means the vast majority of players liked the game, and at this volume the percentage is fairly stable. Keep in mind that a rating reflects the opinions of players who chose to review, so it cannot tell you whether the rhythm combat will click with your personal taste.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Hi-Fi RUSH is currently NT$ 850, which is also its regular price, so it is not on a discount right now.
On our record, the lowest paid price was NT$ 425, first recorded on 2026-06-19, which reflects a deepest discount of 50%. The game is discounted often, and our records show no time it was offered free to keep.
Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. Because the game is discounted often and has reached half off, waiting for a sale is a reasonable choice if you can be patient. If you want it now, buying at the regular price is fine, but know that discounts have appeared before.
