    A hugely disappointing side venture from the creators of Pokémon, which barely seems to understand the rhythm action genre let alone try and evolve it.

I enjoyed the many various levels and designs, as well as the music in game. The graphics were crisp and the characters' designs were nice to look at.

Now that the 3DS has been retired, its online systems discontinued, I felt it was time to take a look at a few of the victims of this tragic event. Harmoknight is a simple rhythm game that is honestly charming and fun, though it does have a couple of flaws. I felt the timing on some of the button presses was a little off, perhaps a result of the game being a little too lenient. I also felt that the game had a couple of frustrating moments toward the end that put a bit of a damp mood on my playthrough. Nevertheless, I think Harmoknight was a fun game. Maybe some day it will see the light of day again.… Full Review »
