I didn't have, "Play as a cartoon cat, fighting a anime corporate villain to the beat of at Nine Inch Nails song" on my 2023 gaming bingo card... but here we are.

I like that he takes off his coat, just to grow robot clothes, which he then takes off AGAIN later when he powers up. Just so inane, fits him perfectly.

Don't get me wrong, the fact they straight up did their whole own soundtrack to fit the gameplay and be streamer safe is incredible. But Nine Inch Freakin' Nails to your Final Boss fight? Unbeatable. Thank you for this hype.

one of the finest design decisions in my eyes is the "every teammate gets their hits in" beatdown sequence. even if it is a largely unused ally it lets you know your character values their help.

My new favorite last words from any villain: "This is just too much work..."

fun fact: if you perfect parry his laser sequences it automatically breaks all of his stun gauge. makes the fight way easier if you're confident in your parry skills.

Just looking at Kale makes me wonder about this world's history. Getting a limb like Peppermint's replaced isn't a big deal, and then you have full-body prosthesis users like Kale and Roquefort.

Love that kale just gives up and explodes.

You gotta love how Kale isn't your typical villain. He's not strictly evil, just super convoluted and greedy. He has tech that can change the world, but he decides to use it for profit. And in the end, when he realizes that he can't beat Chai and others, he doesn't have any meltdown or doesn't attempt to appeal to MC's guilt or greed. He just gives up and explodes.

Kale: "You think I can't deal with a cat?" Narrator: "He could not, in fact, deal with a cat."

Instantly recognized Nine Inch Nails the moment I heard perfect drug I was incredibly shocked. They had such a masterpiece to this incredible game.

Let’s be honest. Roger Craig Smith is an amazing voice actor

it brings me joy that a nine inch nails song written for a david lynch movie is part of a soundtrack to a video game

Honestly one of the Best Final Battles in Gaming History.

I love playing this game mostly playing the final boss fight cuz of the music, and I can't stop playing it, I never get bored of it, I am hoping the developers make a sequel as well in the future

Kale has major Handsome Jack vibes 👌

I fucking LOVE 808 she's amazing

Probably the best game of 2023 for now and wow... This final boss is fucking hype

«Don’t call it a comeback». Its toooo goood!! I dig this game

Korsica was seriously clutch during boss fights, given how with her debuff I can quickly stun enemies

This game oozes with style!

It was in fact not a joke. He could not handle a cat.

God this is the perfect tune for the final boss of this game it's SO GOOD

I heard there was a nine inch nails song and i knew it was this one lol

this is the one song I think from this game that is better in the licenced tracklist than their originals. its impressive given how good their choice was

When the wind is slow and the fire's hot-- oh wait wrong game

Narrator: He could not, in fact, deal with a cat.

They should add a boss rush but then again we got Rythm tower which is basically the endurance mode. The worst thing about the game is when you reach peak. The momment you finish rythm tower and the bosses on rythm master S crown you weep, for there are no more difficulties left to master. I would personally like if Rythm master instead of the D rank instant death would add more intense attacks to the bosses. For example their combos to have more hits and generally them adding more pressure to you since parrying is the most satisfying part of the game. Similar to the Samurai bot beat combo

I love this game it’s really awesome and honestly I would love to watch a cartoon of this game.

Possibly the best Nails song of all time

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will be proud.

The art style and character designs remind me sooo much of those CGI shows they used to have on Disney channel like Get Ed and Slugterra

This boss was brutal when I first fought him

I did NOT expect them to use Perfect Drug for the final boss....

I need to see if I can't find a playthrough of the trademark songs having said that the original soundtrack they made for the game is pretty good

Hey kale Doc ock wants his arms back

well damn now I gotta buy it

Listening to Kale in the Japanese dub warms my soul.

I have absolutely no fuckin idea what this is but from someone that experienced the very first time the NIN music video was played on MTV (back when they actually played music) "I'm here for it" as the kids say.

This game reminds me of Borderlands.

Kale gives off handsome Jack vibes

Dudes got a lightsaber

First time i ever saw anyone break all 4 of the arms

Is Chai intentionally dressed up to resemble Nero or is it just a coincidence?

Wait, is the action going to the beat of the music?

NIN is so good

See what he is capable of?

I love the fact his first phase is literally Vergil

*It turned out that he could not, in fact, deal with a cat.*

God he is so fine.

Lol it just ended like that? Him EXPLODED

Awesome game

if hifi rush had a second game i wish closer in the next game!

Reminds me of Madworld

Not gonna lie, when I bought this game Nine Inch Nails was not what I was expecting to find on here. And I am very okay with this.

The “hey’s” aren’t charted in rock band

Kale's design reminds me to Handsome Jack. Wish he's voiced by the same VA too.

REEEESSS VS HANSIM JACKKKKKK!

I SCREAMED when this started playing. after a couple of the previous bosses being kinda underwhelming, this PHENOMINAL boss was a great change of pace and a perfect way to end the game.

the fight is awesome except one phase where you MUST use assists to even damage him but...our team can't reach us and if they could why didn't they teleport the moment there was a barrier?

Nice. Now play it on hard mode

What the difficulty?

If you’re a fellow weeb I recommend the japanese voices
