Punch, parry and dodge on the beat
You fight as Charlie Disco with attacks, dodges and takedowns timed to the song. Stay in the groove and your strikes hit harder, your movement flows better, and takedowns clear space when enemies crowd you. New talents, moves and dances unlock as you learn each Idol's musical path, so your Beat Kune Do keeps growing.
One night to settle the band breakup
Ten years after the legendary band Dead as Disco broke up, the living members are reuniting for a concert honoring their dead drummer. That drummer is you. For one night only, Charlie is back to confront the Idols, his ex-bandmates turned larger-than-life stars, and uncover who really killed Disco. The story is non-linear, so you pick which Idol to face, and it plays as reunion, revenge and redemption with plenty of music, fame and betrayal.
Rockstar looks and a bar full of history
Between fights you collect over-the-top fashion from the stars of Disco and dress Charlie how you like. You also collect memorabilia from past and present to customize the Dive Bar, your home away from home. Stick a poster on the wall, add some clutter with a past, and those objects fill in the true story of what happened to the band. It is decorating with a motive: revenge, but make it cozy.
Bring your own songs to the fight
The game ships with an original streamer-safe soundtrack plus licensed tracks across genres, each Idol bringing a different musical flavor. Then you can load any song from your own music library and build music-synced combat around it, edit music videos, and shape your own spectacle. Mod support is part of the plan, so the mosh pit stays open. Pick a fast track and Charlie nods, walks and punches right along with it.
What else should you know?
How does fighting to music actually work?
You attack, dodge and take enemies down in sync with each song rather than button-mashing freely. Holding the groove builds your flow and powers your Beat Kune Do, and mastering each Idol's musical path unlocks new talents, moves and dances.
Who are you fighting and why?
You are Charlie Disco, back for one night at a reunion show held in your honor. Your ex-bandmates are now the Idols, and you confront them one by one to settle revenge, chase reunion and learn who really killed Disco.
Can you play your own music?
Yes. You can load songs from your own library, stage music-synced fights around them, edit music videos and share the spectacle, with modding supported. The included set mixes an original streamer-safe soundtrack with licensed tracks.
What do you do between fights?
You collect fashion to customize Charlie and memorabilia to customize the Dive Bar. Those finds change your look and your hangout, and they unlock more of the band's real history.
