GDC Roundup: Blackstar, DJ Rivals, and Death Rally announced

11.03.2011

In Nightclub City DJ Rivals, you're a heroic DJ with superhero-like powers. Your mission is simple: rid the world of two evil corporations (BlandCorp and Big Hit Records) before they make the world's music bland and boring.

Developed by and currently available for free on the App Store, Nightclub City DJ Rivals combines many different game genres to deliver a unique playing experience. It is part location-based (like Foursquare), part rhythm-based (like Bit Trip Beat) and part social based (like MyTown).

The game is primarily multiplayer. In it, players have to travel around their own cities, and using the game's GPS location capabilities, locate other players in which to compete against. In the competitions, players must use their mad scratching skills on virtual turntables to out DJ their fellow DJs. If they defeat enough local DJs, players get to battle virtual evil boss DJs from BlandCorp and Big Hit records. You'll be able to power-up your moves, learn new combos, and unlock cool gear.
