Klang

I like rythm games, hard platformers and twitchy skill-based games, but this is just a chore. I played this until I beat the Fallen Angel boss on the "how it's meant to be played" difficulty. My impressions: - game starts up and recognizeses my 144 Hz monitor. [url=https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/956354469474151745/59D3D939B5ABEC4FFEED9B15FAEF673A60FFFA80/]Tells me to turn it down to 60 Hz[/url]... on operating system... I'm no tech expert, but why doesn't it just offer a fps cap in the settings? No understanding from me. I kept on with 144 Hz and I did not encounter serious errors, just one or to lags. - plays intro cinematic Me: "...Dude, wtf just happened? Who is this Zeus with headphones guy? And who is THIS guy? And THAT guy? And... why did we want to go into a portal in the first place?" - During every other cinematic: "Dude, seriously? WTF is this supposed to be???" - Controls/gameplay: Left stick: move left and right Left shoulder button: Jump Right stick: hit incoming note (cardinal and ordinal directions) Right shoulder button: Duck (not the quack quack quack, but the ducking under) You jump and run through a level while defending incoming note-bullets by hitting the direction they are coming from and on the right beat. This is visualized by a raising cone near you. You press when it reaches its top. Next notes are meanwhile raising of other directions. But if the next note is from the same direction you cannot rely on this visualisation, the only way you could know is by scanning the screen for bullets of the same direction. It's a bit unfair, because there are many things you need to take care of at the same time. Just saying. Visualisation is failing a bit to deliver the input. On one extra pirate level there were so many flashy-flashy bling-bling lights, that I didn't even notice, that I stood in a hurting laser beam. The levels before needed you often to stay where you are, so I did that here too. The information, that I must NOT touch that laser beam was too subtle, as well as the information that I stood in it being HURT. Awful are the levels with the bots looking for you and if they see you, you're instantly dead by an uber laser. Restart from the beginning. I happened many times where the level failed to deliver me enough information for me to be able to know what I need to know to not die. So I died and did it again memorizing what I need to know. I find this to be bad level design. E.g. A beam off-screen not seen before I'm pushed into by a stream whirl, killing and forcing me to restart. The end of constantly appearing and disappearing platforms hidden by flashy beams, so I fall down. Yeah, I like the idea of a rythm platformer, but this is not executed well. I have high hopes for Soundfall to get a similar crossover done well.

Three minutes in there's an immature spike in difficulty. Things just fly at you from every direction and dogpile you. Timing cones get easily cluttered with attacks. Timing is not set to music, only enemy attack coordination. It lives up to every negative review. Funny Klang 2 has noting but positive remarks, so I'll try that next (bought em bundled.)

Это тяжёлая ритм игра с хорошей музыкой и стильной атмосферой, эта игра напоминает No Straight Roads и Hi-Fi RUSH, но как попытка реализации идеи платформер ритм-драка, получилось совсем неплохо. Из минусов, здесь очень тяжело попадать в ритм из за визуала, нужно будет потратить время чтобы адаптироваться, игра очень необычная советую купить всем тем кто любит ритм игры. P.S. В настройках можно отключить эффект которые постоянно меняет цвет (Узнал об этом в конце игры) советую отключить если не можете пройти уровень, меня этот эффект очень сильно сбивал с ритма

ビジュアル優先ゲーです。 テクノなBGMと適度なスピード感、サイケなグラフィックの相性は抜群で、非常に深い没入感を味わえます。 ただ、いかんせん音ゲー的な攻撃弾きとロックマン的なジャンプアクションを同時にやるのは忙しすぎます。 ゲームをクリアしなくても心に残らない人か、ゲームが非常に上手な人にしか勧められません。 総じて値段なりの個性派ゲームといえます。

コンセプトが空回りしていてもったいないなという印象 ゲームの紹介文を見てあなたが思った内容とは多分違うゲームです 他の方も書いてますがリズム面では音とアクションタイミングが頻繁にずれているし、アクション面ではただの初見殺しがほとんどなのでストレスが少しずつ蓄積されていく 基本的にレビューは良いところ見つけて書きたいんですが、このゲームでは無理でした

Um jogo realmente muito divertido e desafiador ao mesmo tempo! Consegue de forma surpreendente combinar a certos no ritmo da música, com destruir robos de forma não muito simples! Difícil, mas vale a pena

Nie mogę wystawić pozytywnej oceny grze, która wita mnie ekranem "oto jak wejść w ustawienia systemu, żeby przestawić monitor ze 144Hz na 60Hz". I miałbym to robić przed każdym uruchomieniem? Kpina. "na szczęście" rytmiczność gry działa jak wcale (a może to przez te odświeżanie monitora?), więc z czystym sumieniem wydropię karty i niech ten syf idzie w diabły.

Disclaimer: The game says it might be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you don't run it at 60hz refresh rate, but that's retarded, I'm not changing my refresh rate every time I want to enter/leave this game, so this is a problem that is the devs' fault and a failing of the game. I played it at 75hz, and it didn't seem to present any problems. I don't think any of the below is from refresh. The good: They tried to make an actual rhythm game, where you have to input keys to the beat, and in some stages, it actually seems to work that way, and it's very satisfying. The music's pretty good too. When you die, you need to restart from whatever the last savepoint is. You have unlimited lives, and the savepoints are not spread out too much, so it's reasonable. The bad: The indicators of when to hit a key, are terrible: -Audio: Besides a few exceptions, the music doesn't give an accurate indication of when to hit a key, which is the main failing. Isn't that the point of a rhythm game? It sure is for me. -Visual 1: there's a "HUD" around your character indicating directions, and it fills up as projectiles get closer. Seems pretty standard, except there didn't seem to be any specific part of that HUD that you are consistently supposed to hit the keys in, making it useless except as an indicator of DIRECTION. -Visual 2: The actual "projectiles" approaching your character. I found this the most accurate way to guage when to hit the keys, but it's not fun when you're not doing it to the beat. They're also often hard to see with the flashy stylized visuals. Later stages involve platforming at the same time, with map elements that will kill you, activating or moving to the beat. These are reliably on the beats, unlike when you have to hit the projectiles. This just adds extra difficulty to the already hard "rhythm" gameplay, but difficulty isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just built on a bad foundation here. Eventually I got to a stage where I could pretty much master the first part, but then I couldn't figure out the 2nd part, because of the above. Nonsensical "rhythm" projectiles, along with platforming, and just endless deaths and restarting from the savepoint. Since I couldn't progress, that was the end of me playing this, and here I am reviewing. The story: Does anyone care about the story in a rhythm game? Well if you do, good luck with this one, I couldn't figure out wtf was doing on, despite their pretty nice animated sequences. Thor of musicland beats your ass, then you have to fight Thor's minions? Whatever, it's unimportant. Overall not recommended, but I would LOVE if the rhythm gameplay got cleaned up. Edit: I see there's a Klang 2, and I look forward to trying it.

Klang is a rhythm platformer. I like rhythm game, I like platformers, I loved Klang. It blended the two genres pretty well. When it all syncs together it great. Its pretty intense and satisfyingly difficult. Theres a lot visually going on and I could see it being a bit much for some. Its a bit short for a single playthrough but I do plan on replaying.
