An original production in which the flow of the gameplay is tied to the rhythm of the music - the world presented reacts to individual songs and single tones, and during clashes against our opponents, we are rewarded for adapting our actions to the dynamic songs. In Soundfall we play as Melody, a girl trying to save the land of Symphonia from a dark force known as the Discord.
Soundfall is a hybrid of several genres, as it combines roguelike, twin-stick shooter and rhythm game elements. The title was developed by the independent Drastic Games studio, founded by former Epic Games employees.
The main character of Soundfall is Melody, a young audiophile who has been thrown into a musical land called Symphony. The protagonist must not only find her way home but also defend the world from a dark force known as the Discord.
In Soundfall, the action is shown in an isometric view. At first glance, the gameplay does not differ from the pattern characteristic for roguelike titles. Over the course of the game, we travel through procedurally generated locations, fight against hordes of enemies with the use of melee weapons and firearms, and acquire more and more powerful equipment.
In comparison to other games of this type, the described title is distinguished by the fact that everything happens to the rhythm of music, and the world presented here reacts not only to individual songs but also to individual tones. In addition, we have to adapt to the rhythm of the songs when trying to execute attacks and evade incoming blows, for which we are additionally rewarded.
Soundfall can be played in singleplayer or with up to three people, in an online or a local cooperation mode.
Soundfall operates on the basis of Unreal Engine 4 technology. The three-dimensional graphics of this production are kept in a colourful, cartoony style. The gameplay is accompanied by a dynamic, trance soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Soundfall Video Game.
GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Richard Seagrave
Soundfall is one of the most unique experiences of the year so far, and that alone ought to pique the interest of gamers. But it’s those who love music-rhythm games that are assuredly going to get the most out of it. And if they also like twin-stick shooters and loot games, they’ll be in heaven. In any case, this eclectic mix of genres works, and whether played alone or in co-op it’s largely a beat-filled blast.
Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Mitch Vogel
Soundfall is interesting and original, but stumbles in its execution. The marriage of rhythm gameplay with a twin-stick shooter is a rocky one, and it's hard not to think this would be a stronger game overall if it were focused solely on either the shooting or the rhythm elements. It can work harmoniously, but also causes frustration when its two halves pull you in different directions. Yet despite its clumsy moments, we'd still give Soundfall a solid recommendation, as its diverse and catchy soundtrack, RPG-esque character progression, and high replayability make this one easy to love. It maybe could've used more practice, but Soundfall overall delivers a strong performance.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Soundfall is a superb game that manages to marry several different genres together.
