It’s no chart-topper, but the funky flows of Soundfall resonate. However, the constant reprise of its best moments causes the orchestra to miss the beat. [Issue#16, p.131]

There is a lot of love with Soundfall. The music never fails to suck you in to each leve,l and the story and characters are cute. However it’s not all solos and encores, as the level design is rather bland and repetitive and the multiplayer leaves a lot to be desired. If you are in the mood for a dungeon crawler with a nice twist, you have a gem in Soundfall. Just don’t go expecting an overly deep loot system or anything too complex. It’s a rather straight forward game that’s all about getting lost in the sounds, which honestly can be rather nice to do.

Landing itself somewhere between a twin-stick shooter and a rhythm game, Soundfall feels like it's not really doing one or other of these particularly successfully. Saved by an incredible soundtrack, Soundfall has the potential to be a really incredible game with an exciting concept, but is let down by repetitive gameplay and a weak story.

Short review: - Looks a lil cheap, looks like a game made with Unity and by a lone developer. this is not a major complaint, I'm just pointing out that this is the impression some parts of the game gives me. there r a lot of re-used assets, and there isnt that much detail. I liked the artistic choice of having trees and all sorts of objects dance.
- I kind of liked the writing actually, and all the music related humour did amuse me. That being said, the overall story and premise are quite simple. - It gets progressively more difficult yet starts to feel a little bit repetitive
- most songs r nice, some r miss - i guess its very subjective. I appreciate the inclusion of diverse music genres.
- Fast paced songs did not work for me idk what was up. i could never adjust. it felt like it wasn't my fault too.
-I liked that there was co-op and rpg elements, it greatly enhanced the experience, even the emotes. -overall its quite an innovative idea. i personally would like to see more top-down 2d rhythm-shooters. Games Soundfall and Metal Hellsinger have huge potential. I give Soundfall 70/100

I cannot overstate how much fun I had with Soundfall. It has a few shortcomings along the way, but absolutely nothing stopped me from jamming out while I shot up baddies. Drastic Games combined two different genres into one engaging and entertaining package. Soundfall is a 2022 sleeper hit.

Soundfall is one of the most unique experiences of the year so far, and that alone ought to pique the interest of gamers. But it’s those who love music-rhythm games that are assuredly going to get the most out of it. And if they also like twin-stick shooters and loot games, they’ll be in heaven. In any case, this eclectic mix of genres works, and whether played alone or in co-op it’s largely a beat-filled blast.

Soundfall is a game that makes an excellent first impression, but it ends up becoming boring throughout its numerous stages. Despite being extremely challenging, its RPG side requires unnecessary grinding. Co-op, while being nice, can be frustrating for those who want to achieve the perfect scores.

Soundfall isn’t a perfect game. I’d love to see the narrative throw more challenges my way and the somewhat repetitive levels would benefit from a few added platformer elements for variety's sake. That being said, I haven’t had this much stake-free fun playing a game in a long time. Amidst the heavy gaming themes I’m used to, I loved shimmying my way through Soundfall’s varying levels as it took me on a musical tour for the senses. Soundfall has the groundwork to be a timeless hit, it just needed a little more tweaking in the studio.

A stylish blend of rhythm action and dungeon crawler that misses a beat when it comes to satisfying gunplay.
