Superbeat: XONiC is an rhythm action game that includes several different game modes aimed at different difficulty levels. The game can be played entirely by buttons or touch screen, or both. First-person perspective is presented like going through a tunnel while the notes are coming your way at high speed. They either go toward the left or right part of the screen, where you can tap them when they approach you.
The game features a wide variety of tracks, many of which are available as downloadable content. Players must react quickly to the on-screen notes and press the corresponding buttons or use touch-screen controls to keep up with the rhythm. The gameplay is fast-paced and requires precise timing to succeed.
