Super Rhythm Duel

Super Rhythm Duel is a rhythm-based action game set in Rhythm City, where crime and chaos have disrupted the balance between gangs. You fight powerful enemies to restore order, following rhythmic patterns and using a posture system to defeat opponents.

Rhythm-based combat

You place blue and red notes during fights, then use them with yellow notes collected for energy to perform moves according to each section of the move table. Attack skills deal direct damage, defense skills resist damage, and special skills provide buffs or recovery. Enemies have distinct combat styles and special attacks, which require different counters: some must be blocked, while others need to be interrupted.

Posture and counters

A posture meter shows each fighter’s stance. Suppressing an opponent’s posture to the point that they are overwhelmed leaves them dizzy and vulnerable. When both fighters attack at once, the heavier attack—not the one that deals more damage—overwhelms the other fighter’s posture. Blocking normal attacks reduces posture, while blocking a dangerous attack greatly reduces the attacker’s posture.

Skills and equipment

You can configure skills and equipment in the options and shop for gear. Equipping different gear and upgrading skills can make combat easier. Fights use retro 2D sprites.
