Brain Jar Games has revealed the first trailer for Dead as Disco, a vibrant rhythmic beat ’em up drenched in neon aesthetics, set to launch on PC via Steam at an unannounced date. The game follows Charlie Disco, a fallen music icon seeking vengeance against his former bandmates, the Idols, in a single night of high-stakes action.
The story unfolds in a non-linear, handcrafted narrative of reunion, revenge, and redemption, set against a world fractured by music, fame, and betrayal. Ten years after the band’s breakup, the living members of Dead as Disco plan a reunion concert to honor Charlie, unaware that he’s back to confront them and uncover the truth behind his death.
Combat is the heart of the game, with punches, kicks, and takedowns syncing seamlessly to the soundtrack, creating a rhythmic flow dubbed “Beat Kune Do.” Mastering this musical combat unlocks new talents, moves, and dances, enhancing Charlie’s abilities. You can customize the experience by adding your own songs, alongside a streamer-safe original soundtrack and licensed tracks spanning multiple genres.
The game’s world is rich with customization, allowing you to collect flamboyant fashion inspired by the stars of Disco’s universe, ensuring Charlie always looks the part. You can also personalize the Dive Bar, a hub where collecting memorabilia unlocks pieces of the band’s true story, deepening the narrative. The hand-drawn, neon-soaked visuals bring the chaotic world to life, blending retro and modern vibes.
