10 Crazy Video Game Spin-Offs You Won't Believe Exist

5. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

Not content with being one of the craziest video game spin-offs we've ever encountered, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy also has one of the most brain-melting titles we've ever seen to boot (it's a cross between "theatre" and "rhythm", just to save you any potential confusion).

Theatrhythm has you controlling a group of four characters from the beloved Japanese franchise, tapping on the screen in time with the music that's playing in the background. Successful taps will inflict damage on the creature or boss you're currently facing, and there are a couple of modes that provide slight variations on that basic gameplay loop.

It's hardly groundbreaking but it's addictive as hell, and even better, Final Fantasy's epic music is awesome to listen to. The game also earns extra points in our book for the adorable Funko Pop-like designs of your four playable characters, so there's that too.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
