Completely reimagining the classic Arena FPS formula, Chroma infuses fast-paced PC shooter action with music-driven gameplay. Join the fight as a Fader, a musical icon of the future, and battle for control of the all-encompassing cultural feed known as The Signal. In Chroma, music is your weapon. Sound is your arsenal.

Music-driven FPS gameplay – Music matters. Chroma features innovative first-person shooter mechanics that tie the game’s soundtrack directly to combat, traversal, and more.

Music is your weapon – Unleash streams of sound and music with your arsenal and bring the musical landscape to life in battle! From deep wobbling bass to the crunch of an electric guitar, crushing metal drums to poppy synths, choose a weapon load-out that reflects your musical tastes and personal style and take your sounds into battle.

Band together – Your team is your band: Join up with your friends and battle for glory. Master multiple classes, each with their own unique musical gameplay mechanics and perks, and lead your team to victory.

Conquer shifting terrain – “Change Ups” at major musical moments dramatically alter the landscape of the battlefield in real time both physically and strategically, raising sniper towers, adding cover, and more in sync with the music.

Free-to-play, but not “pay-to-win” – Free to jump in and play with deep customization, but smartly designed to preserve a fun and fair experience for all players.

Chroma will be available free-to-play on PC via Valve's Steam platform in 2014.


I am incredibly interested in seeing how this game will turn out. I've signed up to hopefully be an Alpha player, but might have to wait until it comes out later this year. It'll be free to play, so I'll pick it up the moment it drops on Steam!

I was planning on posting this when I got home this evening. I don't get how this is going to work, and I wish there was some gameplay, but I want it.

Hopefully more complicated than KickBeat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNe96eM5z-s#t=57

Yeah it has to be more complex than that. That said, if I get a VIta I'm totally going after that game.
