Soar through vocal melodies, sweep each fade and attack every beat in 25 of AVICII’s biggest hits, in this enthralling futuristic rhythm-action experience – AVICII Invector.
Players praise the tight, responsive controls that allow for precise timing. The game's button prompts map well to gamepad inputs, making a controller the recommended input method over keyboard. Cycling between the three sides of the triangular track and hitting notes in time with Avicii's music creates an engaging, rhythmic experience.
The game offers four difficulty settings: Beginner, Easy, Medium, and Hard. Beginner only requires hitting the bass notes, while Hard has players cycling between all four directional buttons. Reviewers appreciate this wide range, as it accommodates both casual players and rhythm game experts. Mastering the Hard mode's complex note patterns and timing challenges provides a significant sense of accomplishment. As players progress, they unlock new environmental areas, adding a layer of visual advancement. Global leaderboards also encourage players to compete for high scores.
Reviewers describe the gameplay as seamlessly integrating Avicii's diverse musical styles, from folk to house to country. The pulsing beats and melodies perfectly synchronize with the on-screen action, creating an immersive concert-like experience. Even players unfamiliar with Avicii's work often find themselves discovering and enjoying new songs through the gameplay.
The multiple difficulty options make the game accessible to both rhythm game veterans and newcomers. Reviewers highlight the intuitive controls and ability to adjust the challenge level to one's skill. With 25 base songs (plus optional DLC tracks), the game provides ample content to master and pursue higher scores. The inclusion of local multiplayer for up to four players further enhances the replayability and social appeal.
