What is Beat Slayer?

You play Mia, a tinkerer battling through a dystopian, 1990s-inspired Berlin controlled by robots. This single-player hack-and-slash game unfolds across repeated runs, where you time attacks, dashes, and kicks to the soundtrack while fighting enemy waves and bosses.

For you if...

+you like shaping each run through weapons and upgrades
+you enjoy electronic music as part of combat

Not for you if...

−you prefer attacking freely without matching musical timing
−you want a lengthy campaign with extensive content variety

What players say
