The mobile gaming world has long been missing a vibrant rhythm game scene, with notable exceptions like Space Ape's Beatstar. However, a familiar name has made a triumphant return with Rhythm Control 2 now available on Android devices!
For those with a keen eye and perhaps a bit of nostalgia, Rhythm Control 2 might ring a bell. Originally released in 2012, the first game achieved chart-topping success in Japan and Sweden, setting the stage for this sequel. Rhythm Control 2 revives the classic with an updated twist, tailored for today's devices.
The game features an eclectic mix of tracks from both Western and Japanese artists, including Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben. Unlike traditional rhythm games where you tap falling icons, Rhythm Control 2 challenges you to tap six nodes in succession. As the game progresses, the patterns grow more complex, introducing additional challenges to keep you on your toes.
**Control yourself**
Rhythm Control 2 is a refreshing addition to the mobile rhythm game genre, offering a welcome alternative to games like Beatstar, which I've often found to play it a bit too safe with their song selections. There's something uniquely thrilling about striving for a high score while being challenged by an obscure Japanese techno track that could ignite a lifelong passion for niche music genres.
