‘Beatbuddy’ Bounces to Beautiful Underwater Tunes

Beatbuddy: Story of the Guardians units you free in a luxurious underwater kingdom the place each plant and sea creature provides to the music.

It’s been a really very long time since I final performed this charming rhythm recreation. Initially launched over a decade in the past, the sport charmed me with its pretty music and the best way wherein the whole lot within the recreation would deliver one thing new to the music. Even when it’s a laser hazard trying to make your life a bit extra painful, it’ll deliver some kind of riff from an instrument to the sport. Which means, the extra hazard you’re in, the extra complicated and satisfying the music will get. So, it leaves a smile in your face at the same time as you’re threading your means by means of harmful locations.

Beatbuddy can also be nice to have a look at whereas it’s sending you thru difficult seas. The sport’s underwater world does a wonderful job of frequently shocking you with putting new locations to see and creatures to run into. I really like the fixed selection within the areas, and actually loved taking within the pink crystal reefs and wavy kelp forests. And once more, with the whole lot seeming to stream and transfer to the beat, there’s this excellent sense of connectivity with all the issues round you. Regardless that issues are attempting to blast or smack you, there’s this sense of oneness with the whole lot due to the music and play.

The rhythm-based play can also be difficult in an enthralling means. Motion and assaults occur on-beat (as do a few of your automobile actions), so the sport actually encourages you to really feel out the stream of the music as you play it. If you may get that sense of rhythm and get in-tune with the world, I believe you’ll actually benefit from the time you spend beneath the waves with Beatbuddy.



Beatbuddy: Story of the Guardians is accessible now on the Nintendo eShop, Microsoft Retailer, GOG, and Steam.
