I got to play Dead as Disco early, and it's a vivid, unrestrained romp that lets you brawl through music videos…

Dead as Disco is a vibrant rhythm action beat 'em up that blends brawling with music video aesthetics, similar to Hi-Fi Rush. Players control Charlie Disco, who must reassemble his fractured band and fight through stylized levels to the beat of original music. The game features impressive visuals inspired by comic books and Max Headroom, with dynamic boss fights and a promising story about fame, though some early access wrinkles are still present.
