The Rhythm of Fighters is a free-to-play music-based video game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by SNK for iOS and Android.

Additionally, the player can earn experience by defeating enemies similar to role-playing video games.

While the music and fighting system has been praised, the use of downloadable content (DLC) was criticized for making the complete package too expensive during the time that The Rhythm of Fighters was a paid game.

Performing different tappings, the characters can execute normal attacks, combos, special moves or their strongest techniques.

While their games were known for story and gameplay, SNK noticed their fans also enjoyed the background music themes composed for their titles.

Multiple easter eggs were put in the game to please returning fans, such as how the music changes with in-game commands.
