Songs Of Death

[i] While Songs of Death does have serviceable rhythm and survival elements, be warned, it doesn’t excel at either [/i] [h1]📝 Main Pros, Cons, and Suggestions:[/h1] 🟩 Pros: + ‘Osu like’ boss battles + VS style weapon upgrade system + Unique weapon system, attacking either current or future spawns (two battlefields) + Eastern music is enjoyable to listen to and is tolerable for repeated playthroughs, and I’d love to hear more tracks of similar quality 🟥 Cons: - Dialogue is in English, VA however is not - More spam clicker than rhythm game due to poor readability - Levels are too long which may lead to music becoming monotonous for some 🏷️ Suggestions: ~ Change meta progression so it’s no longer random ~ ‘Osu’ mechanics during boss battles are the games strongest point and I’d love to see a mode entirely dedicated to them [h1] It's good, just not for me [/h1] Songs of Death (SoD) describes itself as a rhythm game with roguelite and survival elements, unfortunately this leads to a lack of direction or focus. While enjoyable to play, due to the broad range of genres the game aims to cover, it unfortunately fails to excel at any of them. Ultimately, SoD lacks what I se…

It's okay-ish but I got bored of it pretty fast as many portions of the game aren't very engaging.

Songs of Death is a hauntingly atmospheric, narrative-driven action-adventure that fuses myth, music, and mortality into a striking and emotionally resonant experience. Developed by DreamStep and Wild Kid Games and published by Lightning Games, it distinguishes itself through its thematic ambition—rather than offering a traditional heroic quest, the game explores grief, sacrifice, ancient curses, and the transformative power of song. The world is built upon folklore and spiritual symbolism, portraying a land where music doesn’t merely entertain—it heals, destroys, awakens memories, and bridges realms. From the opening chapter onward, the tone is somber yet beautiful, filled with quiet tragedies, forgotten histories, and fleeting moments of grace that anchor the story in human vulnerability rather than fantasy spectacle. Gameplay blends exploration, combat, environmental puzzles, and rhythm-infused mechanics that give the world a lyrical sense of movement. The protagonist’s voice or instrument-driven abilities serve as both weapons and tools, allowing players to manipulate enemies, reveal hidden paths, or interact with the environment through melodic patterns rather than raw force.…

This game is so addicted. We need more skills and characters.

Started with Songs of Life and now I am emotionally invested in this universe and characters. I initially had a hard time getting into Songs of Death's game mechanic, mostly because the rhythm aspect was weak and came out more like button mashing. Once I read the fine print and understood the roguelite part, I had much more fun with the progression. Awakening the characters and astrolabe was satisfying (even though I struggled with one of the stages). Overall, this was a fun little experience. Pros: art, story, atmosphere Cons: levels are too long, especially the 2-3 minutes in between bosses
