  • Summary: Alphabeats is an action mashup of words and music. Rather than being a rhythm game, it's an evolving word puzzle that moves to the music, at speeds from "tranced out" to "twitch action nightmare."

    The original Alphabeats was on mobile, but we've put a lot of effort into making this edition appropriately superior. To start, all traces of DLC and IAP have vanished. We've added custom songs (not possible on mobile). Controls can switch seamlessly between controller, mouse, keyboard, or any combination thereof, all reconfigurable.

    Alphabeats throws down a serious challenge, but remains accessible. Even on the easiest difficulty, I was grinding my teeth in determination, but still enjoying myself. Crank up the spelling mode to “Spellfire” with a song difficulty level called “Febrile,” and it’s another story altogether. [Episode 7, September 2014]

    Tricky due to an awkward control system, Alphabeats is still an interesting combination of rhythm gaming and word play.

    Alphabeats has an interesting rhythm, and it's fun while it lasts, but it can't quite catapult itself to the upper echelons of App Store gaming.
