[COMMENT] UNBEATABLE Is the Rhythm Game I’m Obsessed With

As a longtime rhythm game fan, I’ve played through Guitar Hero, Beat Saber, and osu!, so I was intrigued but skeptical about UNBEATABLE, a rhythm-adventure from D-CELL GAMES coming to PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. The April 2025 demo changed my mind completely. UNBEATABLE is the most vibrant rhythm game I’ve played in years, with a killer soundtrack and anime-punk style.

In UNBEATABLE, music is outlawed, but you’re a rebel rocking out as Beat, a pink-haired vocalist leading a band: Quaver on guitar, Treble on keys, and Clef on drums in a dystopian world ruled by the fascist H.A.R.M., who banned all tunes. The rhythm gameplay is the heart of the game, using just two buttons (up and down) to hit notes on upper and lower tracks, syncing kicks and punches to the beat.

Love Letter to Rhythm Games

It feels simple until you hit Unbeatable difficulty, which is a proper challenge. The demo’s arcade mode, packed with 16 catchy alt-rock and electronic tracks by peak divide, like the infectious “Forever Now,” is practically a full game. Paired with vibrant hand-drawn 2D sprites against 3D backdrops, every song feels like a music video bursting with energy.

The story mode, spread across five chapters, blends rhythm battles with open-world exploration, letting you soak in the vibe at your own pace. Wandering the city as Beat, helping strangers, or smashing crates for loot made me feel like a true rebel. It’s not flawless, the rhythm gameplay’s flashy visuals, like camera shifts and effects, can sometimes distract from hitting notes.

This game is just insanely fun. It’s not just hitting up and down notes; obstacles, varied monster attacks, and nailing the beat feel incredibly rewarding. The demo was so great I couldn’t put it down, spending hours chasing the Unbeatable difficulty. I’m amazed at how seamlessly the story mode blends with the rhythmic gameplay, while the arcade mode lets you dive into the music without touching the story, offering the best of both worlds.

Ultimately, UNBEATABLE feels like a love letter to rhythm games, anime, and rebellion, making it my most anticipated game of 2025. Its amazing music, heartfelt dystopian story, and bold style create something truly unforgettable. The demo’s available now on Steam and PS5, try it, and you’ll be hooked instantly. I’m already counting down to the full release, eager to rock out with Beat and her band.

And the best part is that you do not need to mute or replace audio for any and all recordings of the game, and can freely use UNBEATABLE’s footage and music for edited content.
