Overview
Description

Set on a high‑tech ocean liner, Crisis Beat thrusts you into a frantic fight against a ruthless sea‑jacking gang. Choose from four distinct characters and battle through waves of enemies to reclaim control of the ship.\nThe game features massive end‑of‑level bosses, a unique Lock‑On system for precision attacks, and scattered environmental objects you can weaponize. Play solo, team up in two‑player co‑op, or dive into competitive multiplayer action on PlayStation 3.

Electronic Super Joy thrusts you into a neon‑lit world where pulse‑pounding electronic music drives every jump, smash and flight. With low‑gravity physics, rotating worlds, giant monsters and swarming missiles, each of the 45+ wildly different levels tests reflexes and timing to the limit. The story follows a hero stripped of limbs by the Disco Wars, the War of Rock ’n Roll and the villainous Groove Wizard, delivering a tongue‑in‑cheek narrative that matches the game’s relentless, fast‑paced action. Perfect for players who crave a hardcore platforming challenge set to an electrifying soundtrack.
