"For many, Harmonix is synonymous with “music.” Their games have defined the genre, with iconic hits like Karaoke Revolution, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Dance Central under their belt. 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."
