  • The combat system, which combines turn-based mechanics with rhythm mini-games, is engaging and fun once players get the hang of it.
  • The visuals and animations are appealing, contributing to the game's unique charm and style.
  • The game is plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, including soft locks and confusing menu navigation.
  • The story and dialogue are often incoherent and poorly written, leading to a lack of clarity in character motivations and plot progression.
  • Gameplay can feel repetitive and simplistic, with some players finding the difficulty too easy and the combat lacking depth.
  • music22 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its variety, quality, and production, with many players expressing a strong appreciation for the soundtrack, even purchasing it separately. However, some critiques highlight issues with the pacing and repetition of tracks, particularly during transitions and boss fights, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, the engaging music remains a standout feature that enhances the gameplay.

    • “The music is so far, extremely varied.”
    • “The OST is amazing, and I would recommend it to everyone!”
    • “The music it's got is very nice, it's well produced and represents a decent variety of genres, there's also a very appealing style on display in terms of visuals and animations.”
    • “Cutscenes are also animated, but it's paced weirdly, trusting that you read at the same time as the music, so the tone is always off if you're too slow or too fast.”
    • “But for a rhythm game, it really doesn't have enough music and it doesn't even make particularly economical use of what it does have, changing field music on every screen transition which is jarring while making you play the same riff four times in a row every time you want to open a door, something you will have to do a lot of.”
    • “The finale in particular is ruined by the budget constraint of having absolutely no unique music to pair with it, just re-using battle music you've heard a ton already by that point.”
  • story12 mentions

    The story is generally perceived as basic and somewhat incoherent, with flat character development and poorly executed dialogue that leaves players confused about the plot. However, many reviewers appreciate the potential of the world and find the overall narrative entertaining, likening it to nostalgic RPGs. While the storytelling could benefit from more polish, the engaging setting and accompanying music contribute to a fun experience.

    • “For me, what really grabbed me at first was the potential of the world and story.”
    • “The beautiful art, the amazing music, and the engaging story makes this a purchase I know I won't ever regret.”
    • “While it sucks knowing how much better this could've been if they just had more time, the scenes that were able to be done properly are mostly excellent and still make for an overall good story.”
    • “The story is so far, pretty basic, with the by-the-numbers heroine's journey.”
    • “The plot is about... something, probably?”
    • “But the dialogue is barely coherent, poorly proofread, littered with confusing turns of phrase and poorly explained character motivations and relationships, leaving me with absolutely no idea what was going on in this story at all.”
  • gameplay7 mentions

    The gameplay is a blend of RPG and rhythm elements, offering a fun experience with great music, though it lacks depth compared to traditional RPGs. While the battle mechanics can be engaging once mastered, players note issues with repetitiveness and bugs, as well as a desire for improved accuracy in movement and collision mechanics. Overall, the gameplay shines in its unique concept but has room for enhancement.

    • “Fun gameplay and great music.”
    • “Once you feel the vibe and get a hang of the battles, you'll see how the gameplay shines as an RPG.”
    • “The attacks are either your basic attack which gives you some charge and deals some damage with a timing mechanic to make you able to critical hit when you get over 95% on the bar when you hit the confirm button.”
    • “The gameplay is repetitive.”
    • “I know this mechanic can be pushed farther than it has been and hope the team is able to improve it.”
    • “It's not as in depth as most RPGs, but it does what it needs while it focuses more on what makes the game its own with the rhythm game elements and it does that great (besides maybe the overhead overworld mechanics, though really I think making the dodge roll and collision more accurate would fix it).”
  • humor4 mentions

    The humor in "Infinite Guitars" is hit-or-miss, with some moments of charm and occasional laughs, such as the quirky checkpoint design. However, players find the redundant dialogue options more annoying than amusing, and the game's budget constraints lead to a lack of polish and creativity, resulting in repetitive gameplay that detracts from the overall comedic experience.

    • “The game is called Infinite Guitars, there are guitars everywhere, the checkpoint is a burning guitar. I hit the checkpoint and it makes a drum sound—kinda funny but still.”
    • “I won't spoil, but I would say the characters are charming in their own unique ways, and it can be pretty funny every now and then.”
    • “The first 4 chapters comprise about half the game, with the remaining 8 being a hasty cobbled together collection of area revisits and boss re-fights in a pretty hilarious display of padding.”
  • graphics4 mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for their appealing art style and high-quality visuals, complemented by impressive animations and sound design. However, some users feel that the environmental graphics could be improved, suggesting that the game may benefit from further refinement before its final release.

    • “The music is very nice, well produced, and represents a decent variety of genres. There's also a very appealing style on display in terms of visuals and animations.”
    • “I love the graphics, the sound design, the characters, the story, the gameplay, and even the range of difficulty options.”
    • “Art style and soundtrack are amazing, but the game needs a bit more time in the oven.”
    • “The combat feels really good and it can be a bit tedious because of perfect timing; visuals are great, but I couldn't say the same about the environment.”
  • stability3 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs that affect gameplay, such as random note drops and erroneous misses despite perfect timing. Additionally, the menu navigation is overly complicated, requiring excessive inputs, which further detracts from the overall experience.

    • “To start, it's buggy as sin. Menus seem to require six times more inputs than you'd think, the actual rhythm game portion sometimes randomly drops notes (hold notes seem particularly buggy) or generates fake misses out of nothing that still result in you having 100% sync, so nothing was missed.”
    • “However, what's even messier is that the game is currently buggy as hell.”
    • “Conceptually fun gameplay with an interesting premise; however, it's insanely buggy.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the combat enjoyable but note that it can become tedious due to the need for perfect timing, which contributes to a grinding experience. While the visuals are praised, the environment does not receive the same level of acclaim.

    • “The combat feels really good, but the grinding can be tedious due to the need for perfect timing.”
    • “The visuals are great, but the repetitive nature of grinding makes the experience less enjoyable.”
    • “While the combat mechanics are solid, the constant grinding detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
