Zen Studios' "KickBeat Special Edition", an innovative rhythm game with a Kung Fu theme, featuring fully 3D characters and high-energy music, is now available to download from the Xbox Games Store on Xbox One.

KickBeat Special Edition is a one-of-a-kind rhythm/action hybrid that combines kung fu fighting, rhythm-based gameplay, and a pulse-pounding soundtrack. KickBeat features a full-length single-player campaign that unfolds through a riveting storyline told with a fascinating art style. Through an intuitive rhythm-based gameplay system that is easy to grasp yet difficult to master, get ready to bust a move and bust some heads!

The KickBeat Special Edition Soundtrack features tracks from a diverse lineup of artists from well known bands such as Pendulum and Marilyn Manson, to indie musicians Celldweller and Blue Stahli, to hidden talents like electronic music producer Voicians and Taiwanese rapper Shen Yi.

We got rid of the bars, arrows, button icons, etc. that other music games rely on as action cues and replaced them with fully 3D animated characters. Instead of just seeing characters in the background moving to a preset script as eye candy while the actual gameplay takes place in an abstract 2D interface, you actually control and react to those 3D characters. That means you actually get to focus your attention on what those characters are doing! As you play the game, you’re creating your own fight sequence with your button presses. We also let you get rid of all the other interface parts (such as score) if you like, so that there are no distractions from the action. KickBeat features a full length single player campaign with beautifully hand drawn animations and a unique art style.
