Labeled “defective” after an experiment accidentally fuses a music player into his heart, wannabe rockstar Chai must break free from a sinister corporation with raucous rhythm-enhanced combat - from the studio that brought you The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo!
The whole world of Hi-Fi Rush moves to the beat, from Chai himself to the environment and even enemy attacks. Explore and fight with slick animated visuals that automatically match up to the beat. It doesn't just look cool - brawling to the beat amps up your combos too!
A slacker with larger-than-life ambitions, Chai's life is turned upside down when a botched corporate experiment accidently gives him musical robot powers.
Labeled a defect, Chai will have to rely on his pals, including his mechanical cat assistant 808, to fight back against the megacorp looking to "recall" him.
Highly talented in robotics, Peppermint is the mind behind 808, an adorable cat-drone that provides Chai support both in and out of battle.
Peppermint herself is equally helpful, able to tag in to assist Chai with a volley of laser blasts to juggle enemies, overload barriers or even hit out-of-reach switches in the environment.
Disillusioned by the megacorp's latest tactics, Macaron joins Chai's cause to bring the organization down before it's too late!
With a heart as big as his mighty arms, Macaron abhors violence but does everything he can to protect his friends. With the right encouragement, Macaron will help you break down obstacles - both those in Chai's path and the actual armor on enemies!
CNMN (pronounced "cinnamon") is Macaron's robotic psychological analyst and offers their assistance to Chai and the gang.
Extremely chipper but also very blunt, CNMN's personality can take a little getting used to. Thankfully, CNMN likes to draw expressions on their face to get the point across.
Lead a squad of colorful allies and take the fight to the heart of an, er, heartless organization! From Production to Marketing, every department has it out for the “defective” Chai and will protect the bottom line in over-the-top battle sequences - with each showdown featuring its own music tracks!
Rekka's success doesn't come from fancy words like "synergy" or "mercy." Rekka's role in Production gets results because she only tolerates the cream of the crop - no silly jobbers or grandstanders allowed!
In fact, the rules in Production are super simple: no mistakes or you will answer to Rekka in the ring.
In charge of Research & Development, Zanzo dreams big and often, frequently shifting his focus to new projects when inspiration strikes.
Shunning fiscal responsibility for passion projects, his creative impulses come at the cost of every programmer he can get his hands on.
With a fiery temper and a strict sense of justice, you certainly do NOT want to get on Korsica's bad side.
And yet, some say the head of Security is among the more reasonable of the company bigwigs. Unfortuntely, with Chai in her sights, negotiation is out of the question.
Mimosa understands that a product, no matter how good, is rubbish without marketing - without some spectacle, grandeur or at least some flair, who cares?
Hellbent on making sure her latest launch is absolutely perfect, Mimosa is more than prepared to make a (press) statement out of a certain "defect," should he interfere.
Every missing dollar, every incidental expense, every bit of bad rounding-up…not a single cent gets past the Finance team, led by the penny-pinching Roquefort.
Don't assume Roquefort's role as a "numbers guy" means he takes things lying down. When it comes to protecting his company's bottom line, the claws come out.
The Guy in Charge. While charismastic and inspiring to outsiders, some criticize the recently appointed CEO for placing profit before the interests of his customers - but who's to say Kale isn't just a visionary working hard to give people what they want?
These days, Kale's laser-focused on his company's next big initiative - one that may not be as altruistic as it appears...
