Infinite Guitars is a rhythm role-playing game in which you play music to fight your enemies in turn-based battles. The game is published by Humble Games and promises to be excellent as long as you are sensitive to rhythm games.
Infinite guitars, rhythm, good music and nice graphics
A turn-based rhythm game? Fascinating, isn’t it? Now imagine that it is simply excellent. Of course, it is preferable to experience this video game experience with headphones. Indeed the music is excellent and that’s usually what we ask for for this type of experience.
In a world ravaged by a ruthless war against the Mechs, a handful of humans survive by fighting on the remains of a lost civilization. The metal war machines have awakened and only your electric guitar can use its technology against them!
Therefore, in order to defeat the creatures, you must form your own party and prepare your best pieces. Infinite Guitars reminded me of the first one right away Paper Mario. Indeed, you wander in a cartoon world to recruit teammates and face many creatures.
Step by step?
The most entertaining part of this game is the combat. If in one Paper Mario Just choose the attack and press the right button to multiply your hitting power, it’s different here. Simply put, when it’s your turn, you choose your attack and must perform a key combo with explosive guitar solos. Your damage will be proportional to your success rate. So if you make wrong notes, you will hit less hard.
Once your turn is over and your frenzied solo is complete, it’s your opponent’s turn. There the gameplay changes and you have to dodge the attacks. Your target character is in a 2D environment and has to run, jump to avoid the lasers and what the mechas will send you.
Conclusion: WE DEMAND MORE!
When I really like the concept, the music is really intoxicating. I’m very curious to see how it will develop over time if the game doesn’t become too superfluous in attacks. Still, I’m going pretty confident because, according to the developers, there will be four playable characters, each with specific attacks as well as unique combos and abilities. If this preview has piqued your curiosity, Infinite Guitars will be available on Xbox and PC Game Pass later this year.
