Seeing as how Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm-based action RPG, keeping the rhythm is incredibly important. So, knowing when to use which attacks is arguably more crucial than anything else. Let’s take a dive into the music-inspired world of Hi-Fi Rush and learn the best ways to keep the beat!
Hi-Fi Rush — How to Keep the Beat
So, it should first be noted that the world of Hi-Fi Rush — and all of your actions — are set to the beat of the infectious BGM. From your steps to your jumps, attacks, and even enemy attacks, everything is set to the beat. But, it’s still important to have a sense of rhythm.
You’ll immediately notice that normal attacks are a little more difficult to manage than heavy attacks. It’s more convoluted when you combine the two types of attack into one elaborate combo. I find myself mostly using normal attack combos, just because it’s the kind of attack I would normally use in any other game. In these combos, it helps to keep in mind that pressing the attack button as the previous attack lands is your best bet for a successful combo. In order to land the final attack in a combo, however, you need to know when to stop attacking, as there’s a brief silence between the fourth and fifth note.
It’s a bit easier to land the heavy attack combos because there’s some time in-between attacks. Each heavy attack takes two beats to land. So, players can press the button, take a beat, then press it again. At the end of it all, while Hi-Fi Rush isn’t impossible to master if you’re not great with rhythm, it helps if you are. If you’re someone who’s not great with keeping the beat, there are several accessibility options that can help more people enjoy the game.
