update details
Deathbulge : Battle of the Bands plunges participants into a role-playing adventure that features quirky music and unconventional combat. Set against the backdrop of a deadly band competition, the game features music that allows participants to attack and defend themselves using their musical prowess.
As gamers dive into the game, they have a choice of 9 different music-themed classes, each boasting their own attacks, advantages, and good looks. An intriguing twist lies in the mechanics of knocking down doors. The main character, not paying attention to the condition of the doors, strives to knock down every door he comes across. Some doors lend themselves to this brute force, but others require gradual improvement by knocking down weaker doors to increase your knockdown skill.
The combat system with a twist diversifies the gameplay. Focused on "BAR EFFECTS", it brings real-time dynamics to turn-based encounters. The user can change the appearance of their group by sewing patches with the group logo onto their combat jacket, and gain additional advantages during clashes. Random encounters are eliminated in favor of monsters that clearly roam the field, allowing gamers to navigate or engage in strategic confrontations. The gameplay is accompanied by an original soundtrack that radiates an infectious energy and fits well with the humorous and absurd atmosphere. The adventure game paints a vibrant world populated by more than 100 unique NPCs, each full of character. Even the items are given their own personality: instead of the usual health potions, you can use "Barry Friendly Tea", a calming remedy for low health. An enemy in the form of a platypus riding a skateboard adds additional eccentricity.
