Nocturne: Prelude

Nocturne: Prelude

I rather enjoyed this game, for many reasons, and would recommend it to anyone who would enjoy the following:

-The character you play as, while it is a set character, is very androgynous, allowing you to play as any gender you want. You can also change the name of your character to whatever you want.

-The setup of the game (there’s a main storyline, but free exploration is encouraged), art, and catchy music reminded me of Legends of Zelda: A Link to the Past, which was a wonderful game.

-It’s free!

I have never played a single rhythm game before, so I review this as an absolute beginner.

  • Gameplay

The easy mode is perfectly suited for those who’ve never played a rhythm game before. It’s pretty standard rhythm gameplay with some rpg elements mixed in to spruce it up a bit. I really like the fact that if you’re struggling with a fight, you can look around to see if there’s some better equipment laying around.

There’s random encounters which I’m usually not a big fan of, but it makes sense for an RPG. These random encounters though are great because they let you, you know, play the rhythm part of the game!

Viola: The Heroine’s Melody

Viola: The Heroine’s Melody

I suppose I will put out my 2 cents on this game.

I love it, simply put it that way. Viola takes inspiration from many video game series, yet it still manages to feel unique in its own way. Gameplay is super solid, requiring the proper keyboard presses alongside proper timing to successfully pull off attacks and similar actions. There is also a cool mechanic originating from this game involving defending, in which a character defending has a % chance to protect a teammate from damage. This is a great example of one of the special touches made in the game to help it shine and stand out.

Take a chance on trust!

Viola is a cute, relaxing, relatable, and fun game. Plain and simple.

Each character has enough depth so you know what they are about as far as character development goes.

The movement of the platforming is spot on, Viola moves exactly where you want her to be.

I have reached the end of early access in 13 hours, about 1.5 hours of that was backtracking to do side quests/story.

The combat keeps you on edge with the buttons needing to be pressed in a timed manner, is very well balanced, and you will not need to grind.

Each party member grants an additional skill to be used while exploring that can aid in solving puzzles and navigating the environment.

As much as I want to support this Dev I can’t recommend this since I doesn’t do much new compered to their previous releases. The added rendering menu is nice but it comes at the cost of the physics menu which was necessary to make many of the models work properly.
