Chroma brings new meaning to ‘battle of the bands’

Harmonix and Hidden Path have announced Chroma, a free-to-play music-based arena shooter for the PC. The upcoming first-person shooter ties music to combat by using beats and rhythm to power weapons as well as altering the battlefield landscape. Players will be able to choose classes and loadouts with different musical abilities.

“Unleash streams of sound and music with your arsenal and bring the musical landscape to life in battle! From deep wobbling bass to the crunch of an electric guitar, crushing metal drums to poppy synths, choose a weapon load-out that reflects your musical tastes and personal style and take your sounds into battle.”

Chroma will be entering limited alpha soon, with a release on Steam to follow sometime later.
