Rhythm Control 2: A Classic Rhythm Game Returns to Android

Rhythm Control 2, originally released in 2012, is back on Android! This revival brings a unique rhythm game experience to mobile devices, featuring a diverse soundtrack of both Western and Japanese artists. The game's unique gameplay mechanic, unlike traditional falling-icon tappers, challenges players to tap six nodes in sequence, with increasing complexity and unexpected twists.

For those unfamiliar, the mobile rhythm game scene has historically been less vibrant than its PC counterpart. While titles like Beatstar exist, Rhythm Control 2 offers a refreshing alternative. The original game achieved significant chart success in Japan and Sweden, paving the way for this well-deserved sequel.

The game boasts a diverse soundtrack including tracks from Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben, ensuring a varied and engaging musical journey. The innovative six-node tapping system provides a challenging and rewarding experience, pushing players to achieve those elusive high scores.

Rhythm Control 2 feels like a significant addition to the mobile rhythm game landscape. While enjoying titles like Beatstar, I've always felt the song selection could be more adventurous. Rhythm Control 2 delivers on this front, offering a chance to conquer challenging tracks and potentially discover new musical favorites.
