About Hi-Fi RUSH Hi-Fi RUSH is a single-player rhythm action game from Tango Gameworks, the award-winning studio behind Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Evil Within. At Hi-Fi RUSH, everyone moves to the beat. From the swaying trees in the environment to every hit in combat, everything automatically syncs to the in-game music with stellar animations.
The player takes on the role of Chai, a free-spirited slacker with rockstar ambitions. During a technological procedure to receive a robotic arm, he finds an unexpected “bonus” when his music player fuses into his power unit. If that wasn’t enough, the company behind the experiment labels it a “defect,” making it a target for deactivation.
With a squad of corporate bosses and an army of robots on his tail, Chai must fight back through rhythmic combat and the help of a motley crew of allies to take down the company’s ruthless business leaders and escape.
