Double Kick Heroes is about rocking out through a zombie apocalypse, and being pursued by said undead across the broken highways of America's decomposing corpse. Not even metaphorically, either. Thankfully, other elements of Double Kick Heroes are more than just up to scratch. The core Adventure mode is a lot of fun, with enjoyable characters, well-written dialogue and fantastic sprite-work that recalls the likes of Day of the Tentacle in places. Double Kick Heroes is a decent rhythm game with plenty of challenge and is considerably tricky to master. It has a fun zombie story line with a nod to Romero’s classics. The metal tracks are decent to listen to if you are a fan of the genre, and it is fun to play along to at the correct difficulty level. It probably would have been easier to play with a makeshift instrument device, but the experience isn’t lessened by playing with a controller.… Expand

    As a massive lover of Rock Band/Guitar Hero I was pleasently suprised with this game. It is a simplified Rock Band, but you kill zombies/monsters/baddy things.
    I'd never heard of it before it came on the GamePass but I loved it. If you're bad at rhythm games you'll be bad at (or just purely not like) this.

On the lower difficulties it's just mash 2 buttons in time with the screen/music to kill things but it's very fun. The higher difficulties will have you puling your hair out it's so damn hard, but luckily you can co-op it.

    Pretty fun game, but nothing extraordinary. The music is great. Good times for a few hours.

    Really great game overall! I’m trying to complete it on the hardest difficulty, and it’s painfully hard. If you’re bad at rhythm game overall, I don’t think this game is for you, but if you like zombies and heavy metal, go for it!

    The difficulty of Double Kick Heroes can be offputting and the story, while amusing, was no great shakes. That said, there was just something about it that made me want to rock on. Whether it’s worth a purchase is a matter of taste, but anyone with Game Pass should give it a try.

    Double Kick Heroes a very fun add to the Game Pass library and it’s a blast to play with friends passing the controller back and forth while sipping on a few adult beverages. The soundtrack slaps and the story and dialog don’t get in the way while you’re trying to just chill and have a good time. Double Kick Heroes knows what it is, and it does it pretty well.

    Double Kick Heroes is, by far, one of the most unique rhythm games I've played. While some of the early songs are dull and the difficulty modes need adjusting, I can still confidently recommend this to hardcore rhythm game fans.
