Review | Fretless: The Wrath of Riffson

With 8 years of development, an 8-string on your back, and 16 riffs at your disposal, Fretless: The Wrath of Riffson is an instrument-driven RPG that turns music into monsters and mayhem as you fight to compete in the famous Battle of the Bands held by Rick Riffson. Aptly coined as a GuitaRPG, the main hook of its musical combat is a harmonious pairing of rhythm-based QTEs and turn-based fighting. However, the music is everywhere motif that finds itself throughout the experience is the heart and soul of this game, a sacred world defined in the lands you explore and the community you make along the way.
