Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson

Thisis a very fun turn-based game you get to explore, find upgrades, battle bosses, the game has it all! Suoer created, because it is fully music-based. Kudos to the developers and if you have not heard of Rob Scallon yet go and check out his content!

This is the most inventive and creative RPG Ive ever played on par with Morrowind levels of passion. I've been a fan of Rob Scallon since my freshman year, and I have to say you don't need to be a fan of his to enjoy this game. This is such a crazy game that has so much soul and suffice to say, amazing music. You don't need to be a musician, you don't need to be a fan, you just gotta enjoy playing games. As vague as this review is, trust me its one of the most fun games I've ever played.

Очень классная ритм игра. Выделю отличную атмосферу, хорошее билдостроение, классную музыку и мега крутой дизайн. Боссы просто ахуй. И длится ровно столько, сколько надо.

as a guitar player, and a fan of rob scallon... this game impressed me SO MUCH. the attention to detail man, beautiful soundtrack as well, great game. 10/10 would love a DLC or two or three or four

If you like music (in any way) and pleasant experiences, try it. It's not an enormous game, but it can really get your attention. The game has a good pace, is not hard at all (but can be a little challenging in some parts), has good turn-based mechanics and a fun aspect of "building" your stack of powers through the riffs, pedals e etc. My favorite part for sure are the QTEs. The devs did a really good job matching time signatures with it, and you get "compensated" for landing them, in battle. You can really see Rob's persona through all of it, so, give a shot.

先说好玩！我给10分！ 首先简单介绍一下游戏。 这款音游之所以为音游不光体现在节奏上，还在于旋律记忆。游戏进度有剧情推进，也可以在已解锁的部分自由探索，游戏主要内容为演奏对决。对战前玩家可以选择乐器，用不同复段（招式）配成“卡组”，不同的乐器卡组都有各种不同的策略。对战是回合制，玩家回合可以抽选复段并演奏，演奏过程中通过回应关键节奏打出暴击，敌方回合回应关键节奏可以格挡减伤，而记忆自己和敌人的复段有利于更精准地做出反应。此外，玩家还可以升级乐器和复段，强化自身（效果器），收藏物品和复段。 想要知道更多细节你就点开玩一下，值得的！ 再记录一下我的游玩感受。 刚刚通关，用的是贝斯，攒99击勾，一下能打742，不过刚开始不知道打主体竟然有窗口期限制，一直在秒小怪，刮痧boss。 音乐好听，我觉得原声吉他最好听，尤其那个原声护盾（den~den denlendenlen~），还有贝斯和合成器的渐强技能特别带劲，反而八弦吉他听着一般。 卡节奏战斗互动性强，复段太多了很多都用的不熟，但熟了之后就可以闭眼打了，格挡也是一样，第一次遇到对手攻击经常接不住，德万的那个大炮音响我直接愣在那了。还有第一次打普通拉里，他那个渐强技能好难（我记得是他吧？）错了好多。然后我本来觉得合成器不好用，直到我遇到了金壳蜗牛（没记名字）我拿着贝斯打了一万年，后面就老实换合成器了。 死过两次，第一次是不小心拿着原声吉他去打决赛了（谁知道走进去就开始啦啊），被三不善根无限痛苦折磨；第二次是玩八弦吉他算计错了，获得了死核已死。 在曲木森林迷路过一次，参加决赛前偷紫色门卡失败了好多次，都在一个位置（哎呦我老是觉得我能冲过去但他就是突然转身了）。 箱子有两次卡住了点不开，打头目的时候感觉有时音乐衔接比较别扭。 像素画风，画面不乱有质感，背景音乐恰到好处，这个氛围感觉很精致优雅吧。 通关就自动退出了？再进入存档就要从新打boss，可能是考虑到德万改过自新后世界和平没怪打了吧哈哈。 不过吧这种游戏一般也就玩一次，剧情走完了可能会偶尔回老存档打打怪，买些新复段，我应该是不会再开一个新存档再玩一遍了，应该吧？但是呢就算是只玩一遍我觉得也很值得呀。 暂时再想不起来啥了，先说这些吧。

Fretless does an incredible job weaving music into every part of the game. Character names, dialogue, enemies, areas, and even the little details are packed with clever musical references. You can tell the developers had a ton of fun building a world around the theme, and there’s always another reference to catch. The battle system is fun and satisfying, with enough strategy to keep combat engaging without becoming tedious. But the real star is the soundtrack—it’s an absolute banger and fits the game perfectly. Although the game was a bit short for $15 I enjoyed every bit of the 6 hours I put into it. 10/10

fun :)

QTE回合制，几乎所有元素都和音乐有关，相当有情怀。游戏的堆料很足，符文和武器的构筑也很丰富，就是体量和难度太小有种戛然而止的感觉。7.0/10
