They can also be summoned in battle too, being able to break through certain barriers or aid him with combos. This interaction is required to either remove an obstacle is Chai's path or access areas normally blocked off or unreachable without their help. Chai is capable of having two supers at a time, being able to swap them out at either before the stage begins or at certain points in the stage.Ĭhai is also capable of summoning Assists to interact with the surrounding environment throughout the stages. Supers can vary between damaging blows to healing himself, but generally the gauge can be saved up until the stage ends. Chai is capable of performing Special Attacks once the gauge accumulates (every Special Attack has different Gauge requirements), which then can be used in battle. Chai can differentiate using Light and Heavy attacks having different outcomes depending if the player delays the moves or not.Ĭhai can also collect Batteries to utilize his Reverb Gauge, functioning as a super meter of sort. The game isn't locked to the music track however, but timing attacks to the beat grant different bonuses. This is most notable with combat, with attacks and dodges matching the beat of the current track. Everything in the game, from the environment to the enemies to Chai himself is synced up with the music. The game revolves around Chai traversing and between the different departments of Vandelay Technologies, fighting against the respective bosses at the end of the respective level. Now with the corporation designating him as a prime target, Chai must defend himself alongside the help of his allies to take the bosses down. This causes him to be labeled as a 'defect', making him a target for deactivation by the company. While participating as one of the volunteers for Project Armstrong, during the procedure, Chai receives a robotic arm, but also unintentionally becomes fused with his music player. Hi-Fi Rush stars Chai as a wannabe rockstar that fights against the forces of Vandelay Technologies alongside his allies.
