Indie Pack DLC Available for Spin Rhythm XD
New DLC featuring tracks from Mei Semones, Hachiku, Blanco Tranco, and more makes this great rhythm game even better.
Spin Rhythm XD remains my current favorite rhythm game. I find myself returning to it again and again, and each time I do, I can’t stop playing. The new Indie Pack DLC adds 7 tracks from Indie rock artists, including Mei Semones, Hachiku, Blanco Tranco, and more. These are great additions to the 70+ tracks already in the game.
From my 10/10 review of the base game:
I hadn’t seen gameplay mechanics quite like Spin Rhythm DX features before, featuring a wheel you spin using the controller’s joystick. Beats flow down the track, red and blue by default. Your control the rotation of a wheel at the bottom of the track with matching colors that alternate, and you’ve got to catch them in a correctly colored section. Beats are either small or large; if they’re large, you also have to hit a button when they hit the bottom of the track. Some of them require you to hold the button down while making sure you turn the wheel to follow the beat’s line. A bar that crosses the whole track will also appear, and you need to press a different button when it hits your wheel.
The part that feels particularly good is that sections of the track will also require you to spin the wheel left or right, or “scratch” back and forth. To spin, you just hit the joystick once in the correct direction, and it’ll keep spinning until you press another button, which will automatically line up the wheel with whatever color beat you matched. The spin just feels great, especially with the subtle force feedback on the PS5 DualSense controller.
If you haven’t already, check out Spin Rhythm XD, now is a great time to do it. The game is available on Steam, PlayStation 4/5, and Nintendo Switch.
