It lucked out by getting in early, but no, it's not good.

The vast majority of players will never see most of the content including the true ending because the devs are desperate to pander to a sub-1.0% (seriously, look at the achievement rates for this shit, LOOK AT IT).

And the best part is that absolutely not a single one of the retards who'll inevitably seethe at my post will post their 100% completion rate because not even this game's fanboys care enough about it to go through all of its autistic bullshit.

It's a good game, I still find it fun to boot up sometimes, but I am dogshit and like >>715857718 says I will never see all the content. If I can't even beat Cadence All Zones, what chance in hell do I have with any of the harder characters?

Yes, but it's difficult in a way that will alienate most players. In theory the game is turn based and enemies are 100% predictable (except for bats. However, the game is all about making non-stop split second decisions and will harshly punish any mistakes. By the time you reach zone 3 the board state gets very complex and you are trying to play 2-3 turns every second. Throw in all the different items + weapons with varying attack patterns and it makes the information overload worse.

The vast majority of players are simply not capable of processing it all. They can spend tens of hours playing the game and training their brain to finally get a win, but they'll most likely check out before then.

Not one but two characters die simply by missing a beat, which is so fucking ridiculous it's comparable to having a character in a fighting game who dies if they whiff an attack. That alone cucks you out of an entire mode unless you're one of the almost non-exist hyper turbo ultra autists the devs are seeking out. And the rest of the shit in the game, pointless cheevos or not, is no less bullshit than that.

Depends what you mean by "content". You won't beat every mode even if you grinded a thousand hours to git gud, it pretty much requires you either make this your job or are sole one in a million savant when it comes to both rythm games and roguelike dungeon crawlers. That said you can beat the game with almost every character with more reasonable effort, the hardest character being locked behind one of those bullshit modes. You'll see every boss and have access to every level and mode, so there are no hidden bosses or so after you unlock Aria's Golden Lute fight.

I'm actually just talking about getting a single clear for the base character. I believe you're talking about people who got all the achievements, which is truly and absurd ask by the devs and entails winning a run with the character Coda. I think I've seen one of those interviews, where the guy said he spent about 600 hours and cried once he did it.

With Coda
>The game speed is twice as fast, so 4-6 turns per second.
>If you miss a beat and don't time your turn correctly you automatically lose the run.
>When you kill an enemy, you can no longer move on the tile hat enemy occupied.
>You start with the weakest weapon in the game and only half a hit point.
>You basically can't pick up any items during the run.

Content is not gated, but characters are. All but two characters are reasonable to unlock. Achievements are very harsh. Picrel is the completion % to get a single clear with each of the base game characters. There are other achievements from the base game with lower percentages.

That stupid fucking Leaps and Bounds achievement has haunted my Rarest Cheevo showcase for YEARS. I legitimately don't get why, it was the only gimmick character I could beat the game with.

That's hilarious. I managed to beat the game with a handful of the more tame characters, but never could with him. I think I tried for about two hours one night and it broke my brain. His playstyle is too fucked up for me.

I guess if you do gel with him, you kind of beat the game if half the turns it would normally take. Maybe that was the secret sauce for you.

if this is all true then how was the game ever able to reach 95% overwhelmingly positive reviews on steam?
this shit feels like trying to comprehend the 5th dimension to me, what do other people see in this game that i dont?

it's a good game. a really good game.
but i'm not ashamed to admit it was too hard for me. i beat all zones with melody, saw aria, and just gave up.

game requires mastery of every enemy's moveset and a chess-like memorization of how to deal with them
if you have to think, you've already lost
I admire the game's commitment to busting the balls of everyone who plays it but it's also just fucking exhausting and not really fun enough to justify the tedium

If I had to guess..

It's a polished game and it's unique. I can't think of another game that's even remotely like it. Some people may dislike the difficulty or think the concept is stupid, but there's little room to criticize the execution.

The soundtrack is also very good and the game goes on sale several times a year for only $2.99. At that price most people are probably fine getting a few hours out of the game and calling it quits.

Great game, but I mostly enjoy it casually. The furthest I've got is zone 3 with Aria in All Zones run, and finished Monk AZM. Can't even imagine doing Bolt or Coda, double BPM is insane.

Yes but the difficulty is schizophrenic, even in main zones.
>melody is way too fucking easy
>aria is way too fucking hard
>cadence is perfect but you only beat the game after you finish as all 3
What's beyond is pure masochism

Yes, very fun game, great ost, fun RNG, fun characters, would recommend.
That being said I ended up getting filtered by zone 1 with Aria, which is I think the very last thing storywise, but shit gets hard.

Bolt is easy once you let go of moving every beat. Coda is the actual bullshit one becase you can't miss anything.
