Yeah, these kinds of things aren't the usual games you find on the site, and I mean, let's be honest, BB has a lot of potential, but it's just too soon to really talk about the real impact this game could have, not only in the furry community but also in the creation of adult western games.
Before talking about some pros, cons and keys, i want to talk abt something that caught my attention in the first place:
Beat Banger is an adult rhythm game, which is not the first one in the field. I mean, we already have the concept of Fap/Cock Hero for years, but I’m sure most of the people who found this game got interested not only by the furry content, but also by its similarities to Fap Hero, or the mere interest in rhythm-based adult games involving actual controls, which is still something different compared to the standard in the industry (VNs, platformers, RPGs).
So, keeping that in mind, let’s talk about my thoughts on this game:
Pros:

So, keeping that in mind, let’s talk about my thoughts on this game:
Pros:
- Good Models! The characters are quite simple but unique enough to let you find a favorite one based on their model and appearance.
- Quite Good Scenes. They work well. You shouldn't expect something full of motion, but they're not so simple either—they still work effectively. I think the main potential here is also watching how modders use VA inside the scenes
- Huge Potential. And this is the main thing about the game: you can clearly see that there are still plenty of mechanics and ways to present the game that can be explored. As long as the devs don't get too greedy (I'll cover this in the cons), learn from the modding community, and make a genuine effort to deliver something good, then this game could be considered a truly great attempt at bringing something different.
- The relationship between the development time and the original content of the game is simply terrible. Let's be honest—are you really telling me that this game has been in development for almost 5 years and we only have 1 chapter completed? They showed some development and art for the second chapter last week, but the pace of development is just too slow.
They know they have a great income for a development team of approximately 8 people (according to their main site), and they've spent good money on their socials (like that Twitter golden check), which shows they have enough revenue to hire outsourced or additional team members for development, art, and animation.
So, what are we waiting for? Let’s focus on making more chapters and less holiday-based content, or even add some extra chapters if the goal is to maximize revenue while still delivering quality content.
- Don't expect an outstanding plot or anything deep. This isn't a visual novel, so it's reasonable that the game focuses on having the quickest possible plot while still giving the characters a bit of personality. If you're looking for deep relationships and a slow build-up to the actual events, this isn't the game for you, buddy.
- It's still a rhythm game. Unless you're using a Lovense or something similar, you'll find it quite hard to focus on everything. That's exactly why I think having voice acting during the scenes would be an interesting idea.
Finally, some key things to keep in mind
- The most popular mod at the moment gives a glimpse of the direction this game could take. I found it better executed and with better results compared to some levels in the original game.
- Early Access, I recommend waiting to play it until it's fully completed—unless you're interested in mods. The base game lasts about 35 minutes at most.
- There's still quite a lot of work to be done on this game. I actually like the concept and the scenes, but I think users and patrons should demand more in order to see what this game could truly achieve.
