Some parts of the stage include Chai riding on rails. Not every Assist is available initially however, with some parts of the stage requiring a replay to access them. They can also be summoned in battle too, being able to break through certain barriers or aid him with combos. This interaction is required to either remove an obstacle is Chai's path or access areas normally blocked off or unreachable without their help. Chai is capable of having two supers at a time, being able to swap them out at either before the stage begins or at certain points in the stage.Ĭhai is also capable of summoning Assists to interact with the surrounding environment throughout the stages. Supers can vary between damaging blows to healing himself, but the gauge can only be saved up until the current battle ends. Chai is capable of performing Special Attacks once the gauge accumulates (every Special Attack having different Gauge requirements), which then can be used in battle. Chai can differentiate using Light and Heavy attacks having different outcomes depending if the player delays the moves or not.Ĭhai can also collect Batteries to utilize his Reverb Gauge, functioning as a super meter of sort. The game isn't locked to the music track and there are no penalties for playing off-key, but timing attacks to the beat grants increased damage and effects. This is most notable with combat, with attacks and dodges matching the beat of the current track. Everything in the game, from the environment to the enemies to Chai himself is synced up with the music. The game revolves around Chai traversing and between the different departments of Vandelay Technologies, fighting against the respective bosses at the end of the respective level. Now with the corporation designating him as a prime target, Chai must defend himself alongside the help of his allies to take the bosses down. This causes him to be labeled as a 'defect', making him a target for deactivation by the company. While participating as one of the volunteers for Project Armstrong, during the procedure, Chai receives a robotic arm, but also unintentionally becomes fused with his music player.

Hi-Fi Rush stars Chai as a wannabe rockstar that fights against the forces of Vandelay Technologies, alongside his allies.
