AereA, a musically driven RPG, hits all the right notes aesthetically and musically. Unfortunately in the long run, the game falls a bit flat.
"AereA is a music-themed Action RPG where players, in single-player or local co-op with up to three friends, explore a floating island as one of four different characters to find and return the nine primordial instruments and restore balance. Each character has unique abilities and weapons, and players can collect music sheets to learn new skills. The game features beautifully hand-drawn graphics and nine unique boss battles."

A Perfect Soundtrack, Not So Perfect Gameplay
AereA, a musically driven RPG, hits all the right notes aesthetically and musically. Unfortunately in the long run, the game falls a bit flat.

AereA’s priority is to make the player feel totally engaged in a mystical world that has been fully committed to representing the power of music. I found myself astounded at how many mechanical holes this game contains when its visuals are so contrastingly stunning.

AereA takes the original concept of a musically themed RPG but doesn’t do much with it. The combat is too easy, and exploring different regions is unexciting. While there are a few pieces that stand out, none of them make up for an overall dull experience. What could have been a unique game is, unfortunately, a boring one.
