What is Headbangers: Rhythm Royale?

You play as a pigeon competing to win an online musical contest. Matches take up to 30 players through successive rounds of minigames that test rhythm, memory, and reflexes. You can use powerups against opponents and earn Crumbs to customize your pigeon.

For you if...

  • +you like short, varied rhythm and reflex challenges
  • +you enjoy lighthearted competition and character customization

Not for you if...

  • you need local multiplayer rather than online matches
  • you want offline practice before entering matches
  • you expect mostly human opponents in online matches

What players say

70% of 1,210 reviews are positive

Players praise the goofy minigames, music, and pigeon customization. Their most common complaint is that few people are online, leaving matches full of bots; some also report long waits between matches.
