KickBeat is a martial arts-themed rhythm action game developed by Zen Studios.[1] The mechanics are similar to those of Gitaroo Man and Dance Dance Revolution, where the player must press a button corresponding to one of four directions at the correct time.
Gameplay
During the game, enemies will come at you from all directions. You must press the direction or corresponding button to where the enemy is attacking. This all takes place to the rhythm of the current song.
Plot
The story of KickBeat starts off with all of the world's music being stolen. It is up to the player to use the remaining 18 songs (the game's soundtrack) to free the rest of the music.
