Geodancer

Beat-timed combat

Geodancer is a PC rhythm-action game where you fight to music, timing attacks and defensive moves to the beat. Inputs happen immediately, but only on-beat hits deal full damage, stun enemies fully and keep your combo climbing. Off-beat swings do little damage and break the combo.

Enemy attacks follow the music too. Chasers strike on the kick, shooters fire on the snare, and tanks slam on the downbeat. Each attack is signalled one beat ahead, so you can listen for it and dash-parry at the right moment.
