Start a rock band & end the EDM empire in NO STRAIGHT ROADS!

Start a rock band & end the EDM empire in NO STRAIGHT ROADS, a rockin' action-adventure from the minds of Wan Hazmer (Final Fantasy XV) and Daim Dziauddin (Street Fighter V).

Explore Vinyl City & fight musical megastars on your journey to defeat oppressive EDM empire ‘NSR’, in an action-packed adventure that mashes together rhythm-infused third-person combat with a kick-ass soundtrack!

Key Features:

• Discover the world of Vinyl City, meet larger-than-life characters and lead a musical revolution to end the EDM empire.

• Rock out solo in an action-packed single-player campaign or band up with a friend in couch co-op.

• Master rhythm-infused third-person combat as Mayday & Zuke, members of indie rock band Bunk Bed Junction, each with their own music-based weapons and attacks.

• Defeat musical megastars from a range of genres, including a pop-tastic boy band, a globe-spinning DJ, a child prodigy pianist and more on your journey to bring back rock.

• Fight for your right to rock! Learn awesome new moves, upgrade your abilities and use the power of music to transform props into weapons.

• Experience an awesome dynamic soundtrack from a line-up of musical talent, including Falk Au Yeong, Andy Tunstall, Funk Fiction, Masahiro “Godspeed” Aoki, Az Samad, Clyde Rabatel and the Video Game Orchestra.

• Partner up with an additional local player to take control of the Elliegator, a secret alligator
assistant who can help players in battle by
picking up items, transforming props and calling in useful bonuses.

• Assist Mode lets up to three local players experience No Straight Roads’ music-based action together, only on Nintendo Switch™.

• Touchscreen Support - Use the Nintendo Switch™ system’s touch screen to transform props and pick up items.

No Straight Roads isn’t a bad game at all, but it’s one that consistently falls short of the tremendous potential that it often hints at. The world, characters, music, and overall idea of its gameplay are ripe for a groundbreaking beat ‘em up game, but this, unfortunately, is just a so-so one. Performance problems, camera issues, and repetitive gameplay are all factors that hold this one back from greatness, but these issues are often balanced out by the spectacular boss fights, excellent soundtrack, and charming writing. We’d recommend this one to beat ‘em up fans looking for an interesting new entry in the genre, but with the big caveat that you consider this release’s flaws before taking the plunge. It’s certainly a worthwhile experience, but one that will likely disappoint if you come into it with the wrong expectations.
