Starstruck: Hands of Time fights battles by playing guitar and overcomes obstacles by making giant hands flatten towns.

An unpleasant fate is heading towards Dawn and Edwin’s town. Bad things tend to happen when artists feel unappreciated in this world, and this destructive force is a doozy. To turn the tide, you’ll need to battle some comical, yet sinister, forces in the world. But since you’re musicians, the easiest way to do that is to play some good guitar tunes for everyone. So, bust out your old Guitar Hero and Rock Band guitars (or just use a regular keyboard or controller – the game isn’t picky) and get ready to save the world with your art.

While your musical talents can get you out of a lot of trouble, sometimes the world just puts too many obstacles in your way. This is when it’s also helpful to have help from a giant hand that can flatten buildings. I feel like people become more respectful of your musical talents when they’re afraid of being bashed by a hammer the size o..

Keylocker needs you to play with rhythm and music to protect yourself and slam your enemies in its turn-based combat.

In this cyberpunk future, music is illegal (hence why the game can be pretty quiet at times). This makes Bobo, a singer and song writer, a perfect instrument for a revolution against those who would keep the people down and the tunes low. So, you’ll need to turn your musical talents (as well as those of your fellow rebels) against the regime that’s overtaken the world. Just…do it carefully at times. The trouble with you being a music-based rebel is that it makes you easy to find since you and your band are kinda loud.

Playing loud is the best way of laying down beatings on sinister agents, though. When you get into a fight, you’ll need to figure out the rhythm of you attacks and those of your foes. The game plays a bit like Mario & Luigi titles where you can hit the attack button with good timing to do more damage. Each attack (yours or those of your enemies) have sp..

Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians sets you free in a sumptuous underwater kingdom where every plant and sea creature adds to the music.

It’s been a very long time since I last played this charming rhythm game. Originally released over a decade ago, the game charmed me with its lovely music and the way in which everything in the game would bring something new to the music. Even if it’s a laser hazard looking to make your life a bit more painful, it’ll bring some sort of riff from an instrument to the game. This means that, the more danger you’re in, the more complex and satisfying the music gets. So, it leaves a smile on your face even as you’re threading your way through dangerous places.

Beatbuddy is also pleasant to look at while it’s sending you through challenging seas. The game’s underwater world does an excellent job of continually surprising you with striking new places to see and creatures to run into. I love the constant variety in the locations, and really enjoyed taking in ..
