The mobile gaming scene has often seemed to miss out on the vibrant rhythm game genre that thrives on PC and other platforms. However, a notable exception has emerged with the release of Rhythm Control 2 on Android. This sequel breathes new life into the original 2012 hit, making it accessible to today's devices.
For those who remember the original, Rhythm Control 2 is a nostalgic revival. The first game was a chart-topping success in Japan and Sweden, setting the stage for this eagerly anticipated follow-up. Featuring an eclectic mix of tracks from both Western and Japanese artists like Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben, Rhythm Control 2 offers a fresh twist on the genre. Instead of the traditional falling icons, players will tap on six nodes in succession, with the challenge escalating in complexity and introducing new twists as you progress.
**Control yourself** Rhythm Control 2 is a commendable addition to the rhythm game category, bringing a much-needed revival to mobile platforms. While games like Beatstar have their appeal, they often play it safe with their song selections. Rhythm Control 2, on the other hand, challenges players with its diverse soundtrack, potentially sparking an interest in niche genres and pushing players to achieve those elusive high scores.
