Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson is praised by players for its engaging blend of rhythm gameplay, heavy music, and lite deckbuilding mechanics, with standout pixel art and an excellent soundtrack that appeals to both rhythm game fans and metal enthusiasts. Some players note balance issues with certain instruments like Bass and Synth being overpowered, though most still find it to be a short, sweet experience worth playing, with reviewers suggesting trying the free demo first if uncertain.

After 100%ing the game I can say that this is a great little game. I had a lot of fun. A nice short and sweet game. I also think the Bass is broken and they added the snail so that I don't nuke every single enemy. Synth is also pretty busted, but not damage per screenshot busted.

Found out about the game when after I've heard Northlane's single "Welcome to The Industry", after playing the demo I found out that it was a great discovery! Bought and perfected the whole game in 2 days, it combines a lot of things I like, heavy music, variability, rhythm games, nice plot and simple graphics. It does worth any penny, if you hesitate, you can play the demo first, but personally saying that you won't regret buying the game, highly recommended!

The pixel art and animations are awesome and the music is great, and the lite deckbuilding aspects are fun for someone who can't stand roguelike deckbuilders normally.
Recommended Sep 24, 2026
I HIGHLY recommend this for any fans of rhythm games. And the sound track is actually amazing.
