Fretless: The Wrath of Riffson rocks! The game has so much personality not only in its presentation, but its unique RPG mechanics. Its musical inspirations mesh with a battle system that shreds expectations and creates a fresh take on the genre.

I started playing Fretless a few days ago and it is freaking awesome - a GuitaRPG with musically driven combat, Slay the Spire esque combat but with timed inputs ala Paper Mario. Tons of heart and music homages, made by a prolific music YouTuber and team. Highly recommend youtu.be/3USobO6qRHE?...

Thanks so much! Glad you had fun

Hey looks like I can’t DM you but thank you so much! I saw your comment on the video as well.

Guild Wars is like my favorite franchise of all time. All the work you and the team at Anet do is a massive inspiration to me. Really glad you found the video.

I am Jeff btw!

If you're into music games and RPGs you should check this demo out.

Thanks so much I hope you have fun with it!

FART BARFFF

Fretless is one of my favorite games of the year so far. As someone who is easily overwhelmed by traditional turn-based RPGs, I think it’s such a brilliant entry point into the genre.

And the vibes? Impeccable. What a stellar love-letter to musicians. If you miss Brutal Legend, please play it.

🥹 so happy to hear you like it

😱😱😱😱😱 thank you for the great write up!
