The mobile gaming world often seems to be missing a robust rhythm game scene, despite successes like Space Ape's Beatstar. However, a notable entry has made a surprising return with Rhythm Control 2 now available on Android. This revival brings back the beloved original from 2012, which once topped charts in Japan and Sweden, to new devices for today's audiences.
Veteran gamers might fondly remember the original Rhythm Control. Now, Rhythm Control 2 offers an exciting twist on the genre, featuring songs from both Western and Japanese artists like Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben. Instead of the traditional falling icons, players will tap on six nodes in sequence, with challenges growing more complex and incorporating various twists and turns as you progress.
**Control yourself**
Rhythm Control 2 stands out as a valuable addition to the mobile rhythm game genre. While games like Beatstar have their merits, their song selections can feel a bit too mainstream. Rhythm Control 2, on the other hand, offers the thrill of chasing high scores with the unique challenge of obscure Japanese techno tunes, which might just ignite a lifelong passion for niche genres.
