Against

Against is a rhythm-action game set in the crime-ridden streets of 1930s America. You dodge obstacles, run up walls and fight enemies in time with pounding music as you investigate Dr. Vice’s terrifying ambitions.

Rhythmic combat

You use a sword to slice henchmen and a gun to shoot them, with rhythmic attacks earning points. Brass knuckles and a Tommy Gun add to your arsenal. You dispatch villains to the beat, then face a boss at the end of each chapter in sync with a musical climax.

Story and levels

The complete storyline follows the confrontation between the Detective and Dr. Vice across 7 levels, each set in a different location. The story unfolds through comic-book cutscenes, rendered in dimmed colors and frightening shadows. You can play all 7 levels at any of 3 difficulty settings.

Custom levels

The Against Beatmap Editor is a free tool for creating maps with your own music. You place enemies, weapons and obstacles in sync with the track, then play your custom maps in Against.
