Journey to a fantasy world of swords and sorcery where swords and sorcery are not used because everybody battles in rap battles, 90s style, retro style, I mean seriously kicking it old school, like, learn to to rhyme if you wanna duel, I mean, I’m not a High Elf but I can do it myself, I’m fighting dragons, I’m sipping Cristal in my flagons, I’m on 30s, y’all in broken down wagons.
Welcome to the Fabulous World of Funkdance Rap-omatic
Funkdance Rap-omatic is the world’s best, worst, and only freestyle rap simulator. It’s a fabulous showcase of why, sometimes, something has never been done before.
Each level of Funkdance Rap-omatic is a rap battle against an opponent in a high fantasy world of Dwarves, Orcs, and mythical beasts. Players and CPUs will take turns performing a rap, choosing lyrics bar by bar.
On your turn you’ll be given options to choose your rhymes. You get points for choosing bars that directly relate to your opponent and the things they said in their verse. CPU rhymes are randomized, and so, depending on what bars they randomly selected, on your turn, you may be given different contextual options. Different races/classes are weak or strong against different types of lines, like insults, jokes, and boasts.
Why?
Funkdance Rap-omatic was created during the 2025 Epic Games Unreal Fellowship program, of which I was a part. All the systems were created from scratch by me over the course of the four week program.
