<\/p>\n
The last few weeks have been a strong showing for new releases on Steam, bringing quite a few shake-ups on the best seller list. Early Access pirate game Windrose <\/em>continues to sell well, as does wild west shooter Far, Far West. <\/em>Yesterday, Conan Exiles <\/em>made a surprise comeback with Conan Exiles Enhanced.<\/em> But with today\u2019s latest highly anticipated new release, those games have taken a backseat. <\/p>\n On May 5th, highly anticipated rhythm brawler Dead as Disco <\/em>finally made its Early Access debut. Quite a few fans of arcade beat \u2019em ups and rhythm games alike have been looking forward to this one. But the somewhat unique rhythm combat angle, along with the game\u2019s release in Early Access, made it hard to predict how that hype would translate to sales. However, Dead as Disco <\/em>currently sits as the best-selling paid game on Steam this week, topped only by free-to-play titles. And the reviews look good, too. <\/p>\n \t\t\tPlay video<\/span><\/p>\n Dead as Disco <\/em>combines two popular genres with its \u201cmartial arts meets music video\u201d premise. In this unique take on a classic spectacle fighter, players step into the dancing shoes of a fallen icon, striving to reclaim the spotlight. Brain Jar Games brings an eye-catching neon color scheme to its 3D brawler action. The game\u2019s combat is designed to sync to the music, giving players the feeling of playing their way through a series of music videos. <\/p>\n In Early Access, Dead as Disco<\/em> gives gamers a taste of what\u2019s to come through battles with 7 of the game\u2019s boss Idols and plenty of unique challenges to complete. At launch, the game features over 25 tracks for players to battle it out to their custom setlist, including the option to bring your own music into the game. While there\u2019s much more to come throughout the game\u2019s Early Access run, it\u2019s clear that many players didn\u2019t want to wait to experience the new indie beat \u2019em up. <\/p>\n Since it released at 10 AM on May 5th, Dead as Disco <\/em>has climbed its way to the #3 spot in the weekly Steam bestseller charts. Its concurrent player peak currently sits at just under 8,500, which is a pretty strong start for an indie game in Early Access. But while the sales and player counts indicate overall interest in the game, they don\u2019t always line up with the actual in-game experience. Luckily, Dead as Disco<\/em> looks to be living up to its promises so far. <\/p>\n Courtesy of Brain Jar Games<\/p>\n After just over a day in Early Access, Dead as Disco <\/em>has achieved a Very Positive rating with over 1,000 reviews so far. So far, reviewers are impressed with the game\u2019s ability to deliver on rhythm-driven combat and the solid improvements over the popular demo. From here, the game is only going to get better, with a roadmap full of new boss battles, new arenas, new music, and a co-op multiplayer game mode. As of now, Brain Jar Games is targeting a 1.0 release in 2027 following improvements driven by player feedback. <\/p>\n Dead as Disco <\/em>is $24.99 on Steam in Early Access, with an introductory 20% off discount until May 19th. <\/p>\n Are you planning to check out Dead as Disco <\/em>in Early Access?
