Creators of Guitar Hero Release DJ Game
Harmonix — the company behind Rock Band and the original Guitar Hero — has released a DJ-style game called DropMix.
The innovative game lets players mix popular songs together using playing cards and a Bluetooth-enabled playing board.
According to Harmonix:
“Each card in DropMix represents a different part of a song — like vocals, bass, drums, etc. As you place cards on the electronic DropMix board, which connects to a free app on your iOS or Android device, you and your friends will hear a custom mix start to take shape in real-time.”
It comes with a ClashMode, in which players can face off with a friend or team up with a friend to battle two others. There’s also an option to save your mix to your device.
Harmonix plans on having 300 cards from a variety of genres available for the 2017 collection. Below are some of the songs that’ll be coming to the game this year.
DropMix will hit stores in September with a price tag of $99.99. It’s also available for pre-order on Harmonix’s website.
