Like any other game, running out of hearts means game over.Īdding some much needed variety to HarmoKnight are the characters Lyra and Tyko who show up in the latter half of the game to aid Tempo on his adventure. Besides this, there’s not much else to worry about except the health meter and roughly memorising the patterns in each level. The main objective of it is to run and jump through a level, collecting musical notes and defeating enemies with the staff in time to the beat. Even as a rhythm game it’s rather lacking in depth. If the storyline wasn’t already a dead giveaway, HarmoKnight isn’t exactly the smartest cookie on the block. ![]() Once Tempo and his rabbit companion have come to terms with their harsh new reality, they use a mysterious note staff, along with some subtle guidance from an old guy known as Master Woolwin, to go on an adventure and defeat all evil – because that’s what you do when you’re a videogame hero. It’s hard to describe who exactly these characters are, but let me tell you they’re mostly weird, musically orientated, and forgettable. The meteor crash in HarmoKnight introduces the evil Gargan and his army of Noizoids. Both games have meteor-like objects crash land on their respective planets and shortly after, all hell breaks loose. Funnily enough, this tale mirrors the last game this reviewer played – Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Tempo – the young lad, and Tappy – the upbeat rabbit live on a musical planet called Melodia. For the sake of this review though I’ll push on and humour you all. Unfortunately this develops into nothing but a considerably lame storyline. The story of HarmoKnight starts off as all great stories do – a young boy and his pet rabbit realising their destiny. By combining elements of both the rhythm and platform genre, along with a cute yet crazy storyline, HarmoKnight is the kind of game that very few people would have encountered on their travels before.

So now after a number of years Game Freak has once again managed to break free from its shackles and develop a game that has absolutely nothing to do with Pokémon… well almost. Continually churning out the latest Pokémon game down in the depths of hell, I mean Nintendo. Unbelievable – yeah? These guys seem to be stuck in a never-ending cycle. The last time this Nintendo-exclusive developer actually created a game that wasn’t related to Pokémon was way back in 2005 with Drill Dozer on the GBA. “This unique blend makes creative use of the Nintendo 3DS’ technology, offering an engaging, challenging and most importantly fun experience throughout.It’s not often we see Game Freak release a title that isn’t about Pokémon, so when they do, it’s normally a game to be somewhat excited about. “Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure blends rhythm, puzzles and a compelling story set in one of the world’s most exciting cities in a way that has never been seen before,” says Gary Knight, Senior Vice President of Marketing at SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. Whilst providing an enjoyable single player experience, you’ll also be able to dive into a toe-tapping multiplayer portion that utilises the handheld’s innovative StreetPass communication system. Players will encounter an assortment of different rhythm challenges to master as they set out to unravel the truth, incorporating tapping or swiping the screen, or controlling the gyro sensor to the beat of the music as you guide Raphael through the stylised, vibrant streets of Paris. You’ll be invited to dive into Raphael’s world to help him find the Wristlet of Tiamat and to unmask the mystery behind his father’s disappearance. Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure will see players enter the secret life of Raphael, infamous among Parisians as an honourable thief for stealing famous works of art only to return them days later. SEGA have today announced that they are to release Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure exclusively for Nintendo 3DS.
