Our take on Beat Souls
Rather than limiting rhythm play to timed button inputs, the game adds simultaneous lane movement, jumping, and companion control. Its scoring also depends on matching companion colors to incoming Beat Souls while avoiding hazards, making spatial management part of the rhythm challenge.
What is Beat Souls?
Beat Souls is a rhythm action game set in a neon cyberpop world.
Players control Mikoto, dodging Noise by moving left or right and jumping in time with the music. Two floating Otomo companions collect incoming Beat Souls; their position and color must be managed to match each soul. Collisions damage the player, break combos, and drain stamina. More than 30 stages offer selectable difficulty levels. Fever Time increases scoring during qualifying sections, while additional characters can be unlocked, each with a special skill. Infinite Hell Mode contains three endless stages with rankings, where missed Beat Souls and Noise collisions reduce the Excite Gauge until the run ends.
