About
Play as Rob, a friendly musician trying to restore harmony in an off-tuned world where wacky villains are corrupting music.
Rick Riffson, boss of the evil Super Metal Records company, is using the Battle of the Bands contest to extend his hold on every last note, chord, and song by trapping the best musicians with deceptive soul-binding contracts.
Embark on an adventure with Rob and his zany rock-loving friend to end SMR's plans. Stay alert during your journey: Riffson’s devilish goons, monster-instrument hybrids, and legendary musical animals will try to get in your way!
Explore this musical land to add sick riffs to your deck, and wield your mighty guitar to unleash powerful crescendo attacks in epic music battles!
Carefully composed by Ritual Studios, Fretless is a pixel-art adventure set in Rob Scallon and his friends' diverse musical rock world.
- Explore a musical world: discover whimsical biomes where flowers jingle, rocks really rock and beach waves have their own melody. Watch out for the percushrooms: they'll beat you up.
- Engage in rhythmic turn-based combat: orchestrate melodies of mighty musical riffs to bit crush your foes. Time attacks and blocks to the beat of the soundtrack, build your Crescendo, and unleash powerful rhythm-based special attacks!
- Fine-tune your strategy: Collect mighty riffs, add them to your deck, and compose the perfect bars to create unbeatable solos. Follow the beat of your own drum, whether it is high damage build, devastating musical effects, life-stealing combos, or even random chaos!
- Spice up your musical abilities with physical add-ons: Are you a metal-rock shredder or an indie-folk lover? Choose the best instrument and add bridges, strings, and more to match your own play styles.
- Band together for a wholesome ballad: embark on a story full of musical puns, zany characters, and Rob Scallon's coterie of music-loving friends
- Enjoy a hand-crafted Pixel Art symphony: progress through a visually enchanting world filled with gorgeous punchy animations and alluring scenery.
- Music is for everyone: from "simple" music enthusiasts to guitar gods, everyone can hit the right note at the right time! Whether you are already a fan of Rob or just looking for a fun lighthearted adventure, this game is made for you.

Beautiful Game with many creative aspects in fighting, enemy and deck design. Really loved it. It was too easy. I chose to play with the Bass, simply because I like it IRL. I haven't lost even once. I could only see the first boss Crescendo, since I really one shotted most of them. I did not plan at all or try hard. Just did what appeared to be best at the time. The stealth level doesn't make any sense. It's neither thematically, logical, nor is it fun. It has some crashing bugs (not that many) and some collision inconsistencies in the levels. Overall, none of those are actual problems, just minor inconveniencies, since the game is short. The game just needs balancing by making it very difficult to pass some parts with a single instrument, to force the player to think some way
This game is divine.

Это настолько хорошо, что я уже на старте готов рекомендовать этот алмаз всем, кто хоть сколько-нибудь разбирается в музыке и любит RPG/JRPG квесты. Очень качественная, действительно продуманная и прекрасно стилизованная боевая система, нереально крутое музыкальное сопровождение, захватывающий сюжет и море, нет, ОКЕАН отсылок, локальных мемов и прочих мелочей из гитарного мира и не только. Эх, вот бы такие игры делали чаще...
Absolument fantastique.
