What players say
Beat Hazard 2 turns your music library into pure chaos, and somehow it never stops being fun. Every song creates wildly different enemy patterns and visual explosions, so even familiar tracks feel fresh during gameplay. The screen gets absolutely ridiculous during intense songs, but that's half the appeal. It's a fantastic arcade shooter if you want something flashy, fast, and powered entirely by your own playlist.
The entire concept of being able to base gameplay using your songs is great and what draws most people in. But after actually playing a handful of songs no matter how different they all ended up feeling mostly the same, with the gameplay being as simple as it is you'd want the concept to make up for it but it just dosn't do enough, I attempted many high bpm songs with loud sections expecting the gameplay to match...
