VIOLA: THE HEROINE'S MELODY Looks to Blend Platforming, Rhythm, and RPG Games
Viola: The Heroine’s Melody is an upcoming musical platformer RPG from Jelle van Doorne. This indie title definitely looks interesting. It reminds me a bit of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link where it combines RPG aspects with platforming aspects, albeit in different ways. Plus, there is also a little bit of a rhythm game included for fun. This combination definitely gets my attention although I’m not sure it’s my cup of tea since I don’t generally like turn-based JRPG combat.
Viola: The Heroine's Melody is the musical platformer RPG! After failing at violin practice for the hundredth time, Viola gets trapped inside her instrument's fantastical world. She's joined by a set of strange, colorful friends, as she journeys through the lands of magic, monsters and music... Searching for her way back home.
If you’re interested, you can purchase Viola now on Steam in Early Access for $9.99 with the game officially launching version 1.0 on February 17 which will be accompanied by a price increase to $14.99. A console version is planned for release later this year. What do you think of the idea of mixing platformers, RPGs, and music games? People on Steam sure seem to be enjoying it.
