Developer Zen Studios already stepped out of their comfort zone of pinball sims with the solid CastleStorm earlier this year, and now they are tackling another genre new to them with the rhythm title KickBeat.

SteamFirst: When it comes to music games, I can be overly forgiving. I am the first to admit that I spent more time than would be considered healthy playing the Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises, long after their relevance has subsided. Of course, considering that they are both making a comeback this year, I may have been a hipster douche in claiming that I liked something after it was cool and before it was cool again.
