These can in turn be spent on unlocking new music tracks or DJ icons for your profile. Progression in the game is marked by experience points. While the songs themselves are not entirely memorable, I did find enough in the list that I enjoyed playing multiple times. Each song is short too, meaning that it suits the portable system. While I didn’t recognise any of the tracks, there is huge variety in the songs chosen, ranging from super-happy pop music, K-pop, techno tracks and garage music. Moving from a single hit note, to a flick note to a sustained, moving note could all be pulled off without moving my thumbs very far or onto different buttons. Personally, I found the touchscreen controls easier to pull off as they were in one location. There are also sustained notes which require timed movements and yellow directional notes which require flicks of the corresponding analog stick in the relevant direction to hit. For instance, a note heading to the top right will require the triangle button but the bottom left will require the down directional pad button. Depending on the location of the note, you will need to press either a face button or a direction on the pad. The game uses a central display, with notes coming from the centre of the screen. Superbeat: XONiC’s core game-play uses most aspects of the Vita to make the game easier to play.
After playing the game, I can now confirm that Nurijoy delivered for them and for newbies like me. They announced Superbeat: XONiC as a ‘spiritual successor’ to the DJMax games and fans rejoiced. Rising from its ashes, Nurijoy features a number of former Pentavision members. Firstly, a history lesson: the DJMax series was created by developer Pentavision who unfortunately folded last year.
