Soundfall

This game has a great concept, and the gameplay is pretty fun. However, I feel that it lacks the polish necessary for a finished product. This is especially obvious in the UI, which, in my opinion, looks bland and uninspired. It feels like I'm playing the early access beta version of a game rather than a finished product. If it had more visual polish, more depth, and enemy variety, then I would recommend it.

I don't have much experience with either looter-shooters or rhythm games, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. It turns out that I might be very into both, because I put almost five hours into it the first day I played it. There is something really satisfying about learning the choreography. As the levels progress there are the expected increases in numbers of enemies and complexity of traps. The weapon and equipment system gives a manageable, but interesting set of choices in terms of play style, such as balancing weapon range against spread. New characters unlock even more dramatic options, such as trading speed for strength. I was also very impressed with the music so far. I was honestly expecting a lot of repetitive dance/pop music, which, honestly, I would've been fine with, but it turns out that as you move through the regions, the music changes dramatically, and there are hints that pretty much every genre, from classical to jazz to metal to pop to hip hop to folk to ??? are represented throughout the game. Even if I didn't love the game, I would probably keep playing just for the soundtrack!

This is not a game I can recommend. If you want a rhythm game, go play Crypt of the Necrodancer, not this. This says it is a "looter shooter" which is true to some degree, but you are constrained to levels on a map, no quests or anything. The story is horrible and the gameplay is mid at best. It really feels like it is missing something, although the aesthetics of it all are quite pretty

On paper the blend of looter shooter, dungeon crawling, and rhythm based gameplay sounds cool, but actually playing it leaves you incredibly bored and feeling uninspired. Why do i care about all these different weapons i can loot or use when I'm just going to be tapping LMB at the same BPM for the entire game? Level design is boring and unnecessarily large which highlights the foundational issues in this game: Too many opportunities to bring you out of the rhythm due to seemingly arbitrary reasons. Moving through 'obstacles' that require you to dash or jump on cue with the beat or you'll stay in place. Enemies are incredibly easy and appear in low density. Based on the store page it seems the game turns more into a bullet hell, which is not what's advertised. You're matching with the BPM and this game will highlight how very similar most songs are. Following the same metronome. This will be jarring and bring you back to reality when songs change but you're at the same BPM. The game has too many moments in which you are jarred back to reality and making the game feel off and not satisfying to play. Place on top of this the incredibly boring enemies and mind numbingly easy combat and you're left wanting. Absolutely not worth $30 or your time. I'd refund this if I didn't wait so long to actually play it.

The idea/concept of this game is great but it is poorly executed. The features that are meant make the gameplay unique just ends up making things tedious and boring.

Soundfall - Uma mina de "ouro" jogada no Lixo. [PT-BR] Comprei esse jogo por uma recomendação de um amigo, vi sua promoção de 95% de desconto e fiquei interessado, baixei, entrei e fiquei maravilhado por um jogo da Unreal Engine rodando no meu computador, e então fui dar uma chance a o jogo: O jogo é basicamente um Looter (estilo bordelands ou quaisquer outros) misturado com mecanica de exploração e ritmo, uma ideia legal! Mas jogando você já começa a perceber erros.... Como o ponto (que era pra ser) forte, a Música. Sim, a música é genérica. uma ou outra é realmente interessante, para nós que somos acostumados com jogo de ritmo, jogar isso foi muito agoniante... sua gameplay é divertida mas toda a questão das músicas me desanima, são em geral uns pop genéricos, coisa que IA faz atualmente... (não é OST IA) Fiquei realmente desanimado enquanto a esse jogo, parecia divertido, mas os devs extenderam o jogo até de mais e com essas músicas perde toda a vontade de jogar... isso que não citei a lore. A lore é completamente "ok", eu não me interessei em momento algum, as cutsenes são realmente divertidas e LINDAS, mas todos os diálogos me dão vontade de só...pular. não quero perder mais do meu tempo escrevendo essa review, o jogo NÃO vale seu preço cheio, mas na promoção de 90/95%, por quê não?

Fun for the first hour or two, the rhythm based combat is entertaining enough. Even though you unlock a couple of new characters after that, the gameplay does not change much. You have your weapon, special attack, dash/dodge and ultimate. Those are your tools for the remaining 10+ hours the story mode takes to complete, which is way too long. Nothing new is added, levels are recycled heavily, the loot is boring and story is one of the most tedious ones I can remember. Even though some of the songs are enjoyable to listen, they might not be a great for the gameplay, having sections with no clear beat or even containing silent sections. Additional challenge for those who want to see if they can carry that beat over, I guess. I played it co-op, which added some minor annoyances, such as a cramped inventory management and similar looking heroes that are easy to mix up during the action. I can't really recommend this game, unless you're desperate for a rhythm action game. One of the most boring games I have played through.
