NIS America revealed it would be bringing the rhythm action game Mad Rat Dead to Nintendo Switch. If you’ve been deeply curious about thes story and unique controls, here’s a brand new peek!
Thanks to Bahamut Gaming Madness, we now have new gameplay footage for the title below. In particular, the footage shows off the game’s protagonist Mad Rat first waking up in ‘mouse heaven’ – a cheese-filled realm that serves as the game’s tutorial level.
About Mad Rat Dead
After Mad Rat returns to the living world, we get to witness his other rat companions unravel into mindless monsters, which Mad Rat must fight with carefully timed movements.
A rat’s dream has been left unfulfilled before his death… That is, until he gets a second chance at life! Granted the opportunity to redo his last day on Earth, the player must utilise Rat’s newfound power to pump his heart in time with the music, lest his own time runs out. Mad Rat Dead combines platformer action and rhythm mechanics to have players keep their eyes and ears peeled at all times!
