Chiptune Champion

The main thing that Chiptune Champion has going for it is that there aren't really many rhythm games of its type on Steam. But how does it stand as a rhythm game in general and is it worth getting...? I'll start at what you're first confronted with - a simple-looking program in terms of presentation that honestly quite suits the chiptune theme to the game quite nicely. Off the bat, however, you will notice two flaws that I feel are probably the biggest in the game. The first is that there's no native controller support (we'll get into why that's a big deal for me in a bit). The second is that the latency offset configuration is *extremely* basic - you get a text box to put a number in and an explanation of what range of number to put in there. And that's about it. And as someone who even found Deemo's latency config a little tough to work with, Chiptune Champion's really doesn't cut it. So... back to the controls. Yes, you're going to be using a (computer) keyboard for this game. And yes, there are 5 buttons. Good luck finding a comfortable configuration that works well for you. Now granted I will say that as someone who plays piano, muscle memory and the urge to move around as though playing a full-size piano make this game extra difficult for me to pick up. If you don't play piano, you might find it easier to say play with 2 hands or something. But I found that the only way to not completely loose my place on the keyboard entirely is to stick with one hand and one finger per note. And therein lies the reason I've only gotten 47 minutes in with my first try at the game. It is not very comfortable to play that way, and my hand is not happy. And yes, I've tried multiple button layouts. So... why have I recommended this game...? Well... for starters, the music is fantastic. And the ability to make custom tracks is also fantastic. And the gameplay certainly is challenging. It is fun... once you actually find a way to play it comfortably. I still prefer Deemo, but it's also nice to have a rhythm game with more than two main inputs. Even if 5 is a little too many. So yeah, if you want a rhythm game that's basically a hand version of DDR, Chiptune Champion is a decent enough option. Not the best, not the worst.

Un bon guitar hero like, les musiques style chiptune sont de 40 au total et plutôt sympa, le plus important c'est que les touches sont bien calibrées avec la chanson on a vraiment l'impression de la jouer. Le soucis c'est la difficulté un peu trop haute du jeu qui peut rebuter certain.. car pour valider la note faut être très précis y a pas de "mauvais", "bon", "parfait" comme pour Deemo ou Dynamix sur portable par contre une fois qu'on maitrise bien on doit vraiment apprécier d'y jouer (moi je galère encore.. >.<) 2 modes de jeu sois appuyer précisement sur la touche au bon moment (mode piano) ou alors prendre son clavier comme une guitare et appuyer sur entrée quand la note arrive en maintenant la bonne touche (mode guitar hero). Les defaults du jeu c'est le manque de progression, y a pas de level, seulement 3 musiques à débloquer en jouant et elles ne sont pas rangées par ordre de difficultés.. dommage ! L'interface n'est pas très jolie.. Il faut plus de jeu de ce style sur PC et steam ! 15/20

[h1] What is the game? [/h1] Chiptune Champion is a rhythm game (similar to Guitar Hero/Rock band) that is based around Chiptune music. The game relies on you using the numbers keys (or whatever keys you choose to bind) to hit the notes as they approach you on the board. There are two modes within the game, one requiring you to strum and the other not. These two modes have different rules, however, as in strum mode you can hold down other notes while playing the current note and in the non-strum mode, you cannot. [h1] Positives [/h1] [list] [*] A lot of content in the game, as well as three difficulty modes. [*] Leaderboards in-game for current best score and all-time best score. [*] A lot of good music in-game. Personally, I listen to most of the songs outside of the game because of how awesome they are. [*] Really easy to pick up and play. [*] You can easily connect a wired guitar controller to it and bind the buttons through Joy2Key [*] There is a song editor and workshop support. [/list] [h1] Negatives [/h1] [list] [*] There are a few issues currently with lag and timings, though they are not as bad as they used to be. [*] If you're an achievment hunter, some of the achievements can be time consuming or tricky. [*] Installing tracks from the workshop takes a lot of effort, as the audio never usually comes bundled with the map. [/list] [h1] tl;dr [/h1] Really good game if you want to get into rhythm gaming or you have played this type of game for a long time. Especially good if you have not played Guitar Hero or Rock Band in a while and want to get back into that sort of gameplay. Pick it up if you fall in to one of those categories or if you're a big fan of chiptune.

As an avid fan of rhythm-based games, I have to say that I absolutely love this title. Chiptune music will always hold a special place in my heart due to the complex melodies and chords creators are able to pull off with the sounds that are produced. Now, I will say that this game isn't without a couple of upsets, however small. I'm going to start this off with the good points. - Most of the music choices are great and really easy on the fingers to play - The scoreboard system is a great addition in case you want to have a little competition with other players. - WORKSHOP SUPPORT! I always loved Guitar Hero 5 (I think it was that one) with it's custom song maker, so it's refreshing to see more like that. - Easy and Intuitive to learn, it all boils down to muscle memory, as most rhythm games do Now there are a couple of bad points that I'd like to touch on as well. - A few of the songs are very harsh on the ears, as well as there are some incredibly difficult parts in some of them. I honestly don't know how those parts made it past testing. They probably just have faster fingers than me. - The combination of the color-changing background and the stars effect really mess with your eyes when you're already trying to focus on the scrolling notes, however these -are- options that can be turned off. Obviously more positive points than negative, I'd give this game a solid 8/10, and I would very highly recommend it to anybody who's a fan of rhythm games in general.
