Headbangers Rhythm Royale challenges players to take on 29 other player-controlled pigeons across four increasingly tense rounds, testing their memory, rhythm, reflexes, reaction time, and most importantly … their ability to rap!

Featuring crossplay enabled multiplayer, no pigeon is too near (or too far) to join in on the Headbangers Rhythm Royale fun. Regardless of their platform of choice, players can fly in for some melodic minigame madness with their feathered – and un-feathered – friends*. No pigeon can take to the dancefloor without some perfunctory pruning, and players will have to battle their way through the rounds, collecting delicious (if slightly stale) breadcrumbs that grant access to a wardrobe bursting full of outfits, customizations, and taunts to rub their hard-earned victory in everyone’s beaks.

*Team17 Digital and Glee-Cheese do not endorse actual birds playing Headbangers Rhythm Royale. They would be too good, realise their unlimited power, and set their sights on world domination…

Glee-Cheese and Team17 Digital have today announced that season three, ‘Battle of the Dancers’, will launch on  April 4th.

Battle of the Dancers includes a brand-new game mode that challenges players to put their best talon forward in a one-on-one rhythm battle and includes a selection of new choreography and tracks. The new mode will test players ability to stay on the beat, utilising various powerups to grant them the edge over their feathered nemesis as songs get progressively more challenging, until finally, one pigeon fails and the survivor reigns victorious.

In Battle of the Dancers, your aim is to play the music in Rhythm, with perfect timing and using the correct buttons. Hit all buttons in a row without any mistakes and you’ll begin filling up your fireball gauge. You guessed it, when this gauge fills you’ll send a devastating fireball at your opponent, which lowers their health bar. Battle of the Dancers is separate from our tournament mode. In our tournament mode for Headbangers, players tap, flap, and rap their way to victory in a series of manic musical mini games against up to 29 other player-controlled pigeons, battling their way to become Master Headbanger.
