Battle Beat mixes
instrument controllers with strategy on
XBox Live
Can you keep the beat and crush
your foes? Battle Beat offers a new experience
in instrument-driven gameplay on the XBox360
Indie Games channel. Stegersaurus Games'
research and marketing teams (consisting of two
chimps and an iguana, all with Masters degrees)
have discovered a thriving market in rhythm
gaming. Daniel "Stegersaurus" Steger has
combined this new emergent market with the
industry staple of defense strategy games to
make a revolutionary innovation in gaming.
Battle Beat does away with pretend rockstardom,
and puts you in the shoes of a commander in
outer space who must be the hero and save your
home world! Daniel Steger says "This new
character role will re-ignite the games
industry!"
Using instrument controllers, players coordinate
squads of troops to battle over the fate of
their nondescript post-apocalyptic home world,
fighting off massive hordes of aliens. Battle
Beat is designed to use controllers such as
those that come with the Guitar Hero or Rock
Band franchises (though a normal XBox360
controller may be used if desired) to give a
fresh experience in rhythm game mechanics.
Stegersaurus Games is a one-man operation in
Indie Game development run by Daniel "Stegersaurus"
Steger out of his basement/office. Battle Beat
is currently available on the XBox Indie Games
channel for the price of 400 MSP.
