Cadence (2024)

Gonna leave a review since the first 10 are so important. for 5$ this is a steal. I will say its not flawless, the Rhythm aspect for the player feels weak, to get perfect hits is like... impossible and doesn't line up the music. But its not required so I would almost cut out the player side of it entirely. Other then that, the enemies feel great, they attack to the music and the music is kicking so that side of the Rhythm part is good. Game is hard, but good hard, retrying is fast and the fights aren't actually too long once you learn to not die. The game has achievements for beating fights hitless/dashless which is a really fun measure compared to perfect hits which isnt even scored, which thank god. But yeah, thought I would recommend this game to help get the count up for this really fun little thing. A great way to kill a few hours (I plan to get all achievements now) Content wise its basically as such so far: 4 bosses, 3 of them have 3 variants that have different songs and harder attack patterns. for 5$ thats great honestly. also slight con, I couldnt find a button for quick restarting if you get hit you basically need to wait for the generous invisibility to run out …

This game has SOUL! Great little game. Heavily inspired by other great little games and that makes it even better. It answers the question: What if crypt of the necrodancer had a baby with Titan Souls. And trust me, the answer is satisfactory!

Cadence is pretty hard but that is not too far from what should be expected of a souls-like. I got to the second part of the first boss and couldn't get passed it because i'm just that bad at it lol Nevertheless, i enjoyed the game and actually enjoyed the music! 8/10
