Based out of Prague, Czech Republic is an indie game studio who is well on their way to making the Star Wars fan’s next favorite video game. After seeing a need for a beat-based game in the VR universe, Hyperbolic Magnetism went to work on “Beat Saber.” The one thing that’s so familiar to any Star Wars fan is the use of the word “Saber” and the iconing glowing blades you use to slash through objects within the gameplay. Whether or not lightsabers were an influential factor in the game design matters very little to us, this game simply looks freaking rad. Here’s Hyperbolic’s own description of the game:
The game can be easily described as a mashup of Guitar Hero and Fruit Ninja in VR. All the music is composed to perfectly fit the hand made levels. Our goal is to make players almost dance, while cutting all the cubes and avoiding obstacles.
