Fantastic. Got to know Ronald Jenkees that way, a treat by itself!

Not recommended Jul 5, 2026

It's not as simple as it looks, and navigating the battle screen is challenging to get used to. I'd rather just play FFR.

Recommended Jun 16, 2026

Before the echo is a fantastic Rhythm, game with music by the incredible Ronald Jenkees. With very unique mechanics regarding three different beats, and an interesting progression system, this game definitely is worth trying out.

Recommended May 17, 2026

Absolute banger! Definitely recommend! Wish there were more games like this.

Not recommended May 16, 2026

The game's delivery (and how it introduces concepts to you) is too clunky. or maybe the spell system is clunky. Just let me get into the rhythm, guys. Don't make the experience feel stagnant with so much exposition and pausing between the action.
