Gameplay

During the game, enemies will come at you from all directions. You must press the direction or corresponding button to where the enemy is attacking. This all takes place to the rhythm of the current song.

Story

The story of KickBeat starts off with all of the world's music being stolen. It is up to the player to use the remaining 18 songs (the game's soundtrack) to free the rest of the music.

Reception

While reviewing the Steam Edition of the game, IGN noted the game had good visuals but were disappointed with the lack of content. Metacritic gave a generally positive aggregated score of 66 based on 7 critics.
