About
Play as Rob, a friendly musician trying to restore harmony in an off-tuned world where wacky villains are corrupting music.
Rick Riffson, boss of the evil Super Metal Records company, is using the Battle of the Bands contest to extend his hold on every last note, chord, and song by trapping the best musicians with deceptive soul-binding contracts.
Embark on an adventure with Rob and his zany rock-loving friend to end SMR's plans. Stay alert during your journey: Riffson’s devilish goons, monster-instrument hybrids, and legendary musical animals will try to get in your way!
Explore this musical land to add sick riffs to your deck, and wield your mighty guitar to unleash powerful crescendo attacks in epic music battles!
Carefully composed by Ritual Studios, Fretless is a pixel-art adventure set in Rob Scallon and his friends' diverse musical rock world.
- Explore a musical world: discover whimsical biomes where flowers jingle, rocks really rock and beach waves have their own melody. Watch out for the percushrooms: they'll beat you up.
- Engage in rhythmic turn-based combat: orchestrate melodies of mighty musical riffs to bit crush your foes. Time attacks and blocks to the beat of the soundtrack, build your Crescendo, and unleash powerful rhythm-based special attacks!
- Fine-tune your strategy: Collect mighty riffs, add them to your deck, and compose the perfect bars to create unbeatable solos. Follow the beat of your own drum, whether it is high damage build, devastating musical effects, life-stealing combos, or even random chaos!
- Spice up your musical abilities with physical add-ons: Are you a metal-rock shredder or an indie-folk lover? Choose the best instrument and add bridges, strings, and more to match your own play styles.
- Band together for a wholesome ballad: embark on a story full of musical puns, zany characters, and Rob Scallon's coterie of music-loving friends
- Enjoy a hand-crafted Pixel Art symphony: progress through a visually enchanting world filled with gorgeous punchy animations and alluring scenery.
- Music is for everyone: from "simple" music enthusiasts to guitar gods, everyone can hit the right note at the right time! Whether you are already a fan of Rob or just looking for a fun lighthearted adventure, this game is made for you.

This game was a blast! It’s a unique experience that blends fun gameplay with an intriguing concept, all while keeping things short and sweet. If you're looking for something different to unwind with, I definitely recommend giving it a try!
is it a short RPG? yes. do you defeat enemies with rhythm? yes. do you summon Satan with an 8 string guitar? yes.
Hi-Fi Rush дома ООООчень сомнительный опыт. Игра не плохая, не хорошая. Это дэкбилдер, есть интересные механики, но для чего они в этой игре нужны я не понял. Она не дает "челенджа" и не вызывает проблем. Графика очень сильно режет глаз, музыка тоже как таковая отсутствует, у каждого из 4 инструментов есть своя тема... В общем я прошел эту игру, но советовать её кому то не могу просто потому что непонятно зачем кому то кроме любителей игр от команды Klei в это играть.

Ich bin normalerweise ziemlich schlecht in Rythmus-Spiele, aber aufgrund der perfekten Animationen kann man das Timing auch ohne "zuzuhören" treffen. Musik: Während der Dungeon/Erkundungstouren gibt es keine Metallmusik. Mich hat es persönlich nicht gestört, das es nicht ausschließlich Metallmusik gab. Die Metallmusik in den Bosskämpfen war super. Kampfsystem: Man hat eine bestimmte Anzahl an Moves jede Runde zur Verfügung. Davon können nur 3 jede Runde eingesetzt werden. Die Moves laufen ähnlich wie bei "Paper-Mario" ab. Wenn man das Musik/Animations-Timing perfekt erwischt, kann man mehr Schaden machen und die Spezialleiste schneller füllen. Wenn die Spezialleiste voll ist muss man wie in klassischen Rythmusspielen, die richtige Taste zur richtigen Zeit drücken. Bosse haben ebenfalls so eine Anzeige. Erkunden: Es gibt nicht viel zu erkunden, da das Spiel sehr geradlinig ist, aber es macht gut Laune. Objekte in der Welt geben melodische Soundeffekte bei Interaktion oder nach einer bestimmten Zeit aus [spoiler] ( z.B. die Glocken in Harmoniehausen.[/spoiler] Abhängig von Gebiet gibt es versteckte Objekte die aus dem Weg auftauchen [spoiler] (z.B. Schmetterlinge).[/spoiler] Pro: -Story kann in weniger als 10h durchgespielt werden. -Erkunden ist sehr motivierend aufgrund der SFX und versteckten Animationen. -Die Bosse haben eine motivierenden Schwierigkeitsgrad (also kein Souls-like). -Die Metallmusik ist klasse und die Animationen sind krass gemacht. -Witzige Dialoge und witzige Charaktere. Cons: -Statuseffekte wie Verzögerung können nicht in einem Glossar nachgeschlagen werden. -Nicht ausschließlich Metallmusik im Spiel. -Geld-Grinden ist sehr schwer (bezogen auf Achievment). -Beim Steamdeck zeigt die untere schwarze Leiste nach Kämpfen Fabrige Linien.(Verschwindet nach ausschalten)
Incredible game, despite what the hivemind Itswill chatters say. I loved every minute and only wanted more.
This game is super fun, challenging, and thrilling, although there are somethings to note the health potions limit is capped at 3 for some reason especially if you buy like 5 health potions it only shows 3 in battle which is lame and it doesn't spawn the other unused potions after battle??? I would of perfered the potions be capped at a maximum of 5-10 potions total rather than 3 because most of the bosses like the spider is just overwhelmingly powerful took me a handful of trys to beat, than comes smr Larry which is just overwhelmingly powerful at the start, without having enough potions its darn near impossible All in all I am enjoying the game fun asf I just hope somethings be considered and adjusted

山谷有好几个恶性bug,怎么没人修
Fantastic game, short but fun
A really solid and fun pixel art game with a lot of goodies for fans of Rob Scallon's youtube channel. While there are some limited bugs in interactions with overworld items and small technical nits, they don't get in the way of solid 6-8 hour RPG experience.
