About

City of Beats, released in 2023, is a unique blend of action, indie, and RPG genres that invites players to explore a vibrant city pulsating with music. In this rhythmic rogue-lite shooter, players experience combat that flows in sync with the beat, creating a zen-like state as they shoot, groove, loot, and upgrade. The game's ever-changing skyline and music-driven mechanics set it apart, making it notable in the current gaming landscape.

In terms of PC performance, City of Beats is designed to be accessible, requiring only an entry-level GPU to reach its minimum requirements. With a minimum GPU score of around 800, even budget-friendly graphics cards can provide decent FPS at lower graphics settings. Players should aim for GPUs in the entry-tier category, and with 4 GB of RAM, most players will enjoy smooth gameplay and impressive performance during fast-paced action sequences.

If you enjoy action-packed games with a rhythmic twist, City of Beats is certainly worth exploring. Its blend of engaging gameplay and innovative mechanics, combined with positive ratings, makes it an excellent choice for fans of indie titles and RPGs looking to enhance their gaming experience.

Performance profile

May 2023 release. As a current-generation title, City of Beats pushes modern hardware — expect to need an RTX 40-series or RX 7000-series GPU to enjoy it at native 4K Ultra without leaning on upscaling.

RPGs like City of Beats stress VRAM during long sessions — texture streaming, mods and open-world traversal inflate memory use over time. 8 GB VRAM is a practical floor; 12 GB+ is worth the headroom at 1440p and above.

Extremely light — City of Beats runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.

Storyline

Can you feel the rhythm? It's everywhere in the City of Beats. Music drives absolutely everything in this rogue-lite, twin-stick shooter. Listen to the beat, get into the flow, and unleash bullet hell on the rooftops of the City, blasting through legions of hostile robots. Don't worry about the damage. Humans left a while ago, and it's just us androids up here. Well, androids and robots, controlled by an ornery rogue A.I., the Zeitgeber, trying to impose its own groove on all robo-kind. Someone should do us all a favor and get out there to pull the plug, yeah?
