is there any hope of a non rhythm based version?

[Ryu]

game looks cool but I have beat deafness so I can't hear beats "feel" rhythms so i was wondering if there is any hope of a version that does not play based off the music.

[Kamakura]

So like a complete lack of timing? I'm not sure I've heard that term before, but the game does have very clear visual indicators for the timing beyond having to stick to sound.

It's also not a super strict rhythm game, like more recently Metal: Hellsinger, you can still attack and do stuff without the combo's, you just aren't getting the full damage potential. I can't imagine they'd do anything to change the gameplay though, it's built pretty heavily around hitting the beats for the cool stuff.

You don't have to play to the beat, the only thing timing things does is give you bonus damage.

easy mode basically makes i so you dont have to keep time youll be fine

Well, to be fair, there's also the fact that you can chain dodges if you do them on the beat, but yea, I would imagine that the game should be beatable without really feeling the beat

Can you not listen to a ticking clock and predict the intervals? Anyway no, there won't be a rhythm less version of this game. Even if there was how would the people on this forum know about it a day after launch.

There's a word for this: arrhythmic[merriam-webster.com].

Its not super strict until you have to parry then if you miss even once ♥♥♥♥ you redo the entire chapter

The entire game moves to the beat. you have a little AI partner that pulses to it and there is an accessibility button that actively shows the timing on your screen for every level so even if you aren't good at hearing the beat you can still watch for it.

[MachTackle]

There is a beat guide that runs my the bottom of the screen to assist you with the timing of required. It should give you a visual guide to the beat.
