You can blame my kid if the ‘slay’ in that headline is out of context. I’ve heard people saying it and asked her how to use it in a sentence – Beat Slayer has to be the guinea pig in this scenario.

What is accurate about the headline is the ‘rogue-lite’ and ‘rhythm‘ – also the dystopian parts. Set in a fictional Berlin in the 90s, you play music lover Mia as she takes on hordes of robots, hackin’ and slayin’ to the music. Note that I didn’t write ‘background music’ as it plays a prominent part.
