The Violinist

Si alguna vez quisiste empuñar un violín y arrancar las notas, este juego es brutal. Desde el primer momento en que ajustas las cuerdas y aplicas la colofonia al arco, sientes que estás a punto de embarcarte en una odisea musical sin igual. El juego te lleva por un viaje donde interpretas algunas de las piezas clásicas más legendarias, todo con una jugabilidad que me recordó a lo mejor de Guitar Hero, pero con un toque de elegancia y sofisticación que solo un violín puede ofrecer. Y lo mejor de todo es el modo libre, donde puedes desatar toda tu creatividad. Los escenarios son una obra de arte por sí solos, cada uno más impresionante que el anterior. Es como si un gran alfarero hubiera moldeado cada detalle con pasión y precisión. Los gráficos, los acabados, todo está hecho con un cariño que se nota en cada pixel. Puedes ganar dinero para comprarte nuevos violines. Cada instrumento tiene su propio carácter, y es una delicia explorar cómo cambia tu estilo al cambiar de violín. Lo único que me haría amar aún más este juego sería si agregaran algunas piezas de terror gótico en el futuro. Imagínate tocar una sonata gótica en medio de una tormenta, con cada nota resonando como un eco oscuro en la noche... ¡sería brutal! En resumen, El Violinista, es una obra maestra en potencia, con una jugabilidad que, aunque ya es impresionante, tiene espacio para evolucionar aún más, es una experiencia para cualquiera que ame la música. Si te gusta la música clásica, si siempre quisiste tocar el violín, o si simplemente buscas algo diferente y épico.

第一次遇到有按键问题的音游，进游戏后键盘因为就跟失灵了一样，，，，

I do not like the different colors per lane, and then the tiny af white balls coming in, on a slanted way too small area even. It makes the visibility and thus readability really horrible. Please add more customization options to how it can look. One of the biggest gripes I personally have when it comes down to rhythm games it when it's needlessly difficult due to poor visibility. I don't know why so many have this. It's not a fun challenge. It's bad. Challenge should lie in cool patterns that still align well with the music. Not this. You need to be able to see well what you gotta do. I for one have never seen a performer use music sheets with faded ink that is hard to even discern because it's more fun that way. It's just ridiculous. Skill isn't about being able to deal with poor circumstances like that. Nobody plays tennis with a broken racket either because oh that makes it more challenging. The challenge should lie in the gameplay. Not the fact I am giving myself a migraine trying to see the notes. Game has something to change input in case it lags, but it doesn't help you set it up making it useless. I hate when rhythm games do this. I don't know how your game reacts to my inputs, okay? The free mode is a joke, it felt like it wanted to be something akin to rockstar simulator or something but for a violinist but then the project was dropped. Idk but it feels unfinished and unpolished. It's a shame cuz I was so hyped for a rhythm game that does classical music.

I really liked the game, I missed the rhythm games a lot and finding a new one, it makes me happy, it's entertaining and I recommend it

I really wanted this game to be fun as I play violin as a hobby. Rhythm games aren't hard to find anywhere, but this was the first violin based rhythm game I had ever seen and was pretty excited about it. Unfortunately it really let me down. [b]Kinda long review down here[/b] First of all, I want to address some bugs: [list] [*]As of now whenever you reopen the game all your scores on every song are reset. You keep your money and anything bought, thank goodness, but it is kind of annoying to lose score progress. I like to play in little spurts, so I want to remember what I played and what pieces I still need to work on. [*]I don't know if this is intentional, but if you don't go all the way back to main menu after a song, you don't get to retry the tuning minigame. You can say you want to do it, but it just gives you the score bonus you got last time you did it. [*]I'm unsure if it was all the time, but after playing one song and, again, not backing out to the main menu, every song I'd play would show as giving me the exact same amount of money as the last song. And would get that amount of money. That means I could struggle through a semi hard piece and get like 700$ then back out and do the one minute long one and get the same amount of money. [*]Trying to decorate the custom violin is a nightmare, and frankly, the most disappointing thing to me in the game. If you try to color with any other darkness value than the brightest a color can go, it will layer that color whenever you mouse over it all the way to black. I had to make mine bright green to avoid an all black violin, then just use decals to make it nice. No shading or anything. Don't get me started on the metallic texture. [*]All the text when trying to buy violins is in Italian or something and it [b]will not change[/b] no matter what I do [/list] There are a few extra things that just bug me [list] [*]There's no feedback on hitting or missing notes. All there is is a little graphic and sparkle that says Perfect or Miss etc. Honestly it's kind of hard to get back in the grove when I can't hear how far off I was in the first place. I end up mashing in harder sequences when I miss one note because I just can't tell where the miss landed timing wise and correct for that. [*]The free mode is really weird and not super interesting. You can buy things to up your health? I never even noticed a health bar of some kind so I have no idea what the point of all the stuff really is. [/list] I like a few things about the game. I find the tuning minigame neat and buying new violins is a nice concept (if it really made a difference which it doesn't). While I understand it's a solo dev, the game still feels like a demo frankly, not like a full game. There are a lot of quality of life things that could have been worked on before release and more bugs than is really ok in my opinion no matter who is releasing a game. Solo/hard mode isn't even out yet. I personally will probably try to complete the game in my spare time, but I definitely won't be grinding out scores or anything. If you really want to get it, wait a while for it to be more polished or have a sale.

My biggest issue with the game is the ASDF controls by default. I expect to go UP in pitch when I hit my keys in fdsa order (like a violinist typically does). instead, the lower note is played on A and goes up to F. So the natural thing to do is to change the keyboard controls to change what would be normal right? well, bugs strike and you are unable to change keys to match what you are wanting. Refunding until the tiny white dots are fixed, the keymapping works properly, and i'm able to play this game more like a violinist and less like a piano.

really bad game. there's so much about this game that is really awful but i'm gonna try to list everything anyways. basically no feedback when hitting notes. zero hit sounds. the most you get is a little sparkle and a rating will pop up depending on your timing. slide notes basically have zero visual feedback. about 80 percent of the screen is filled with useless ♥♥♥♥ and the note lane takes up a tiny fraction of the screen. the tuning minigame is the stupidest gimmick ever and after doing it once i skipped it after every song i did. it adds basically nothing and is not fun in the slightest. tons of ♥♥♥♥ isn't playable or maybe it is but i really don't know and couldn't tell what has or hasn't been implemented yet. pretty sure a lot of stuff isn't implemented yet though. specifically the "violin" mode, in the violin game. the one where you play the violin if that wasn't obvious btw. definitely getting a refund cause this game is dog crap!!!!!!!!!!!!
