Soundfall Switch NSP Free Download Unfitgirl This rhythm shooter has a memorable theme but is missing variation. Shoot-shoot-dodge-repeat. Soundfall is a game all about rhythm. Music blasts in your ears, the environment bops and dances to the beat, and so do your fingers as you tap-tap-tap on the controller. More and more developers are turning to music to put a fun twist on action gameplay, from Crypt of the NecroDancer (and its Zelda follow-up Cadence of Hyrule), to FPS Bullets per Minute and platformer No Straight Roads. These aren’t games about making music, but saving the world to the beat. That’s your task in Soundfall. Taking its cue from NecroDancer, a metronome pulses at the bottom of the screen and it’s your job to shoot-shoot-dodge-repeat your way through each level sticking to the tempo. Shoot or dodge off the beat and the action will fail.Most action games have a sort of internalised rhythm, but in Soundfall it’s explicit. Hypnotic, even – your ears as hyper focused as your eyes, determined to maintain a combo. Later levels become something of a bullet hell – or rhythm hell, I should say – and I found myself nodding my head and tapping my feet as I played, dancing in my seat while my eyes refused to blink. Eventually I was tapping through the menus in rhythm too. The beat is infectious and so is the soundtrack, comprising music from real world artists. Each area of the world is a different genre: the dream-pop Skylands, the heavy metal Hotlands, the classical Forest, and more. Each comes with its own challenge too. The less percussive classical tracks, for instance, have a less discernable beat, while heavy metal tracks have a tendency to switch time signatures to keep you on your toes. And while faster tracks may seem more intense, slower tracks are actually trickier – fewer beats means fewer opportunities to attack. Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

Tying it all together is a skippable story involving a young wannabe musician (named Melody, of course) transported to the world of Symphonia to defeat the Discordians. Everything in Soundfall is musical: the instrumental weapons, the character and world names, the underused elemental system. If the script’s musical puns grate, it’s at least all presented with charm and clarity. Animated scenes provide some welcome flair. Yet where the core hook is sound, the theme lacks variation. Sonically Soundfall is a whirlwind tour of genres and mixes, but its gameplay soon becomes repetitive. Shoot-shoot-dodge-repeat. Levels are labyrinths of repeated battle arenas and environmental art, with few obstacles or puzzle elements to challenge you. Bullet sponge enemies lack variety and never force a change in strategy. The lack of climactic end-of-level boss fights means there’s no rise and fall. There are multiple characters to play as too, with unique artefacts and overdrive moves. Yet they collectively share experience and weapons, so play too similarly to each other. There’s little instrumental colour between them. Disappointingly, then, Soundfall’s gameplay is one note. Difficulty rises through the number of enemies, but rarely in musical complexity. Soon that constant beat feels rigid and restrictive. There’s no room for improvisation or syncopation. The colourful worlds and brilliant soundtrack mask an all too simple dance. Boredom sets in.

Import your own music

Perhaps Soundfall’s biggest misstep is a lack of creativity. Isn’t that what music is all about? There’s no impact to your actions, no musical effects. Miss a beat and you miss your shot, but the music continues regardless. For a game all about music, there remains a disconnect between soundtrack and gameplay. Perhaps that’s why Soundfall ultimately rings hollow and dissatisfying. There’s one saving grace, for PC players at least: Soundfall allows you to import your own music and will procedurally generate a level around it. It’s one way the game allows you to inject your own personality, even if it’s just a new song accompanying the same assets, the same enemies, the same shoot-shoot-dodge-repeat. Soundfall plays like an extended pop album, each level a three minute burst of music that initially fizzes and delights. Yet playing on repeat proves shallow. The music is killer, but the gameplay is filler. The closest frame of reference I can think of is to Crypt of the Necrodancer, a game that asks you to move (and thus attack) to the beat, but there are differences between that and Soundfall which make it feel like one of the most original titles I’ve played in quite a long while. Punishment for shooting off-beat is simple: your weapon fires less proficiently. That’s not to say you couldn’t brute force your way through constantly being off-beat (and indeed, there’s a calibration tool for audio and video should you feel something is wrong there), but you will also have to “reload” your weapon if you continuously miss your timing.

The PlayStation 5 DualSense controller pulses with the beat to help you out, but that’s just one of a few different ways you can stay in time with the music. There’s a metronome option that can be set to be always on or off, or even to just switch on if you’re missing your cues regularly. Your avatar also has a pulsating shape that moves in time to the beat, but honestly, the music is so catchy that it will get you in time all by itself. I actually found myself nodding along to almost every song within the Soundfall soundtrack. From full-on EDM or punk rock, and classical orchestral tunes with thumping beats behind them, it’s banger after banger, and genuinely drops you into a similar state of flow akin to something you’d find within Tetris Effect or Rez. Crucially, every song creates a procedurally generated dungeon for you to fight through, meaning it feels different every time you pick up your instrument and start the battle. If you’re playing a two-minute song, the dungeon will reshape accordingly, and this is key because you earn rewards and loot based on performance. One ever-present rating is whether you manage to complete a dungeon before the song loops, and often it’ll feel like a personal sleight if you fail to do this. The last few panic-stricken seconds before the song restarts is a genuine thrill when you know you’re going to make it to the end by the skin of your teeth. All of this is happening as bursts of colour and sound fire from every angle. The environments are alive to the music and will wiggle and dance along as you pass by. Even the enemies seem to be grooving to the music as they approach you. When all is said and done this is still a twin-stick shooter, so despite the luscious visuals you’ll have to keep your cool and defeat the evil creatures while retaining the beat and not taking damage.

The loot you’ll find in treasure chests uses the tried and trusted approach of colour coding, with higher level items having buffs that might improve your proficiency with health draining weapons, or fire attacks, or ice that slows the enemies; you get the picture. There’s a gang of five characters to unlock, but they share loot and level so the only change between them is visual and, of course, their special ability. Early on in Soundfall, before anyone else is unlocked, playing as Melody you’ll find a sound sword. This quickly changes the game from being “just” a twin-stick shooter to something else entirely. Now you’re switching between ranged combat and melee, with sword attack combos ending on a stronger blow, all the while building a meter for your ultimate attack. Each character has their own special musical instrument weapon, and ultimate ability that works in tandem with the idea. There’s loot to find off the beaten path, and even the dash ability requires you to time it to the beat, or it will fail. It’s remarkable how good it feels when you nail four or five dash button presses in a row to smoothly glide along a teleportation rail just to find a new keyboard that fires like a shotgun. It’s this simplicity that makes it so addictive and easy to pick up, only for an hour to fly by without even noticing. Animal Crossing: New Horizons + YUZU Emulator 2022

The difficulty progresses with each new area you unlock. Each environment is themed in a way similar to platform games: there’s a forest; a beach area; a volcanic location, and so on. There are bonus levels within each world, and the higher difficulty you choose to play on, the better the loot you’ll unlock. An in-game shop offers the chance to spend your earned gold, but honestly, I found my best gear just by playing. If there is a criticism, it’s that the enemies on offer are slightly limited at times. For such a creative endeavour, hitting a higher difficulty and still seeing the same grunt enemies is a tiny bit disappointing. That said, while Soundfall starts out easy against slow enemies that amble toward you almost begging to be taken out, it does eventually ramp up to something akin to a bullet-hell shooter, though often only towards the end of an area. There’s also a slight disconnect between the in-game visuals, the cut-scenes, and the JRPG style narrative overlays between missions. They’re well made, appear like an 80s-style cartoon, while the rest of the game is modern-looking. But these are minor complaints, because for a game that marries so many different ideas together so successfully, includes full co-op for up to four players and, if you’re on PC, allows you to import your own music to create an endless cacophony of sound and vision, it’s an absolute triumph. With a good pair of headphones Soundfall is truly a joyous multi-sensory experience celebrating music that simply must not be missed.

Levels

When playing an instrument, it can be thrilling to finally nail that song that you’ve been trying to master for some time. Rhythm games are built on this concept, challenging you to replay levels as many times as needed until you get it perfect. Sometimes rhythm mechanics even work well in other genres — just look at how Runner3 manages to pull off a rhythmic platformer. But what if we tried making a twin-stick shooter with rhythm elements? You’d probably get something a lot like Soundfall, the inaugural release from Drastic Games, a studio formed from Epic Games alumni. Though Soundfall doesn’t quite have the pipes to hit the high notes, it nonetheless provides an enjoyable action experience that’s quite unlike anything else on Switch eShop right now. Soundfall places you in the role of Melody, a down-on-her-luck barista with incredible musical ability that largely goes unrealized. Before leaving for work one day, Melody sits down to listen to some music and finds herself transported away to a magical musical world called Symphonia. This is the place from which all music comes, but Melody’s arrival is not necessarily a good sign. There’s a rising power of evil monsters called Discordians that threaten the creation of music, and it’s up to Melody and friends to rise to their role as Guardians of Harmony and thwart the discordant threat.

The narrative here is hardly one that could be called ‘deep’, but it’s the kind of feel-good story that fits well with the generally upbeat vibe Soundfall is going for. Positive themes and corny jokes abound, making for a story that generally stays out of the way while still providing some lightly emotional moments here and there. Plus, some important plot beats are punctuated by brief cartoon animations, and these help to imbue Soundfall with some fun character. Meanwhile, those of you who aren’t as interested in the story will be pleased to know that there’s a free play mode as well, stripping out the story elements and just getting right to the point. Here, you can access levels at any time in any order, making it much simpler to replay your favorite songs and to keep retrying the ones giving you trouble. That gameplay rests somewhere between a twin-stick shooter and a rhythm game, as you travel through each section of Symphonia to cleanse it of Discordians. Each level has a unique song playing in the background and your goal is generally to make it to the end of the stage before the song ends. If it does, the song simply loops and you receive a lower rank when you do make it to the goal. Along the way, you’re tasked with clearing out arenas of foes—sometimes with a few waves per arena—and picking up any treasure chests you may find on brief alternate routes.

The main gimmick here is that your proficiency in battle is directly tied to the music for that stage. If, say, you fire your gun ‘on beat’, you’ll do extra damage. If you do so off beat, your bullets won’t travel as far or do as much damage, and the gun will quickly overheat. If you’re having trouble finding the beat by ear alone, there are metronomes displayed both on the bottom of the screen and in front of your character, and the controller is continuously vibrating to the rhythm. At its best, this focus on linking the soundtrack and gameplay makes for a combat system that feels extra satisfying when you get in the zone and can consistently time actions on beat; at its worst, these rhythm elements feel like an annoying distraction to an otherwise solid twin-stick shooter. The main problem that we observed is that the mechanics of a shooter and rhythm game don’t always mix well here. Rhythm games work because you are usually engaging in rigidly scripted and predictable sequences that test both reflexes and memory. Here, the enemy encounters are anything but scripted, as you zip around an arena and battle foes that act independently of the music. Your focus is on staying alive, and the needs of your survival don’t always align perfectly with the beat. A button press that was on time for dodging an attack may not have been on time with the music, meaning that there are constantly moments where there are clashes between what you have to do and what the music wants you to do. In easier encounters, the rhythmic elements of gameplay enhance things because you have the time and space to wait the extra second or so for the next beat before you fire or dash. But in the more intense encounters, you don’t always have that luxury. This can lead to frustrating moments where you tap the fire button to light up a foe bearing down on you, only for you to get hit anyway because your attack was off beat. Imagine playing Super Mario Bros., but you could only make Mario jump when the music hit certain notes while Goombas and other enemies carried on advancing.
