Rhythm-driven combat meets beat-’em-up action
Dead as Disco, developed by Brain Jar Games, Inc., is an upcoming action-rhythm beat-’em-up where combat syncs to the music. Players take on the role of Charlie Disco, a fallen icon seeking to reclaim the spotlight from their former bandmates, the Idols. The game features stylized 3D visuals and music-synchronized combat, creating a vivid, energetic experience that blends rhythm and action in a distinctive way.
Dead as Disco features co-op gameplay, letting players team up or compete on the leaderboards in rhythm-based combat. The game’s original multi-genre soundtrack, which includes both licensed and streamer-safe tracks, drives every punch, kick, and combo.
Co-op gameplay and customization options
Additionally, players can customize their character’s appearance with over-the-top fashion items and decorate the Dive Bar, their home base, by collecting memorabilia that reveals more of the band’s story. These features combine to create a vivid, music-fueled experience centered on creativity and collaboration. Though a demo is currently available, the full version of Dead as Disco has yet to be released, with additional content and story elements still to come.

Dead as Disco delivers a vibrant fusion of music and martial arts, turning every battle into a performance. With its rhythm-synced combat, striking visual style, and focus on collaboration and customization, it reimagines the beat-’em-up genre as both a fight and a concert.
