About the Game

'AGAINST' is a rhythmic journey through crime-ridden streets and their phantasmagoric seamy side.

Dodge obstacles, run up walls - all the while picking off your enemies as the pounding music builds. Use your mind and muscle memory to banish evil and find answers.

Fierce songs combined with rhythmic combat with a gritty comics aesthetic make for a truly unique experience.

Detective Got a Gun

Slice the henchmen with your sword and mow them down with your gun - but do it rhythmically for points and pleasure. Brass knuckles and a Tommy Gun will complement your arsenal.

Dark Comic-Style Graphics

We’ve paid loving attention to the dark and gritty comic book style. Set in 1930s America, the story of Dr. Vice’s terrifying ambitions is revealed through comic book cutscenes full of dimmed colors and frightening shadows.

Deadly Enemies and Dreadful Bosses

Dispatch villains to the beat as you make progress in the investigation. At the end of each chapter, take on the boss in sync with a musical climax.

Diverse Levels, Intriguing Narrative

Finish a complete storyline about the confrontation of Detective and Dr. Vice in 7 levels, all available in 3 difficulties. The chapters are set in different locations, each with its own unique touch.

Play & Create Custom Levels

Against Beatmap Editor is a free tool that allows you to create your own maps using your own music. Using this editor you can place enemies, weapons and obstacles in perfect synchronization with your music. Then you can play your custom maps in AGAINST.
