Klang 2 is a psychedelic rhythm-action game, blindly pursuing full immersion with electronic dance music through lightning-fast combat.

Conduct electronic symphonies with your lightning powers, wield magical tuneblades, and achieve a euphoric state of trance through skillful play.

Guide Klang on an action-packed journey punctuated by gripping fight scenes scored to an immersive EDM soundtrack featuring original music from lead audio collaborator bLiNd, Otographic Music, City Girl, James Landino, and more. Launch strikes for rapid fireball attacks, perform dashes to create openings for counters, and time holds to charge up powerful lightning attacks during each unforgettable encounter.

Progress through a story campaign where six powerful bosses stand in Klang’s way. Each boss employs a bespoke fighting style combined with a semi-procedural combat system to ensure no two duels feel the same. Learn the beatmap and flow of each song while reacting to dynamic enemy movements and attack patterns that change based on Klang’s current position and performance.

Seek additional challenges by tackling arcade mode’s two-dozen additional tracks or experiment with different song speeds for a customized experience throughout the story. Select from numerous input options, including keyboard and mouse, gamepad, drawing tablet, and touch controls, before diving into the evocative world of Klang 2. Soak up a dark, techno-greek setting drawing inspiration from musical symbolism, synthwave art, and classic sculptures across a twisting story full of hidden lore and secret dialogue opportunities.

“Klang 2 combines music and combat into a singular experience for fans of both action and rhythm games,” said Tom-Ivar Arntzen, Tinimations founder and sole developer of Klang 2. “I’m thrilled to invite fans of the Klang and newcomers alike into the world of Klang 2 on Steam today and consoles on November 17th!”
