While creating new ways of experiencing interactive music is the company’s modus operandi, it’s difficult not to be completely taken aback by their latest title: Chroma is a music first-person shooter.Before explaining how Harmonix plans on integrating music into the shooter genre, it’s important to point out that it is a FPS first, music game second. In fact, Harmonix is co-developing Chroma with Hidden Path Entertainment, the team that most recently made Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. That’s to ensure that the admittedly-inexperienced Harmonix ensures that shooting feels right and good.Chroma is best summed up as a class-based multiplayer game of point-capture, with two teams trying to hold onto as many points on the map as they can."
