    Soundfall is part rhythm-based top-down dungeon-crawler, part looter-shooter.

    So far, one level in, this musical odyssey feels like a dungeon-crawler in name only. So far the dungeons are brightly-coloured floating islands, adorned with equalizer level bars rising and falling in time with the ear-wormish pop soundtrack.

    Existing in a third space between Hi-Fi Rush and Metal Hellsinger, this is an interesting take on a rhythm game, and the only reason I'm writing a review instead of continuing to play is that it's been a tough day, and I can barely keep my eyes open.

    The only issue I have with the game is that in spite of having previously needed to calibrate my video and audio latency for other rhythm games, the calibration tool in Soundfall insists my calibration requirements for both are 0ms.

    I think it's this that left me feeling like I was constantly slightly off-beat, just enough that it didn't feel quite right.

    Even so, Soundfall is already fun, and I'll happily say it's:

    4: Good
