- Double Kick Heroes adds more modes so your guitar doesn't have to weep - 12 July 2019
Double Kick Heroes is still in early access (and has been for over a year), but I reckon it should be on any rhythm or metal fan’s radar. This week, developers Headbang Club rolled out an important-feeling patch. Surprising nobody, the Going Rogue update adds a roguelike-esque survival mode to the game called Fury Road, letting you play around with its fiddly mix of evasion and frenetic drumming with some interesting modifiers. Alternatively, the Chill Mode removes the monsters chasing you, letting you shred to your heart’s content. See how it’s shaping up below. (more…)
