"Rhythm Control 2 Revives Classic Game, Now on Android"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 03,2025

The mobile gaming scene has often been missing a vibrant rhythm game presence, with notable exceptions like Space Ape's Beatstar. However, a surprising revival has hit the scene with the release of Rhythm Control 2 on Android, bringing back the beloved original from 2012.

For those who remember, Rhythm Control 2 is a sequel to the chart-topping game that dominated in Japan and Sweden over a decade ago. This new iteration introduces players to a fresh take on rhythm gaming, featuring tracks from a diverse range of artists including Bit Shifter, YMCK, Boeoes Kaelstigen, and Slagsmålsklubben from both Western and Japanese music scenes.

Instead of the traditional falling icons, Rhythm Control 2 challenges players to tap on six nodes in succession. As the game progresses, the patterns become more complex, adding twists and turns that keep the gameplay engaging and demanding.

Rhythm Control 2 is a refreshing addition to the mobile rhythm game genre. While games like Beatstar have their charm, their song selections can feel a bit too mainstream. Rhythm Control 2 offers a chance to chase high scores and dive into the world of obscure Japanese techno, potentially sparking a lifelong interest in niche music genres.
