The new king of strangely named portable rhythm games?
The player takes control of the God of Light, who is fighting the God of Darkness for control of the world. The story is not an important part of the game, with it only being told in the manual and small cut scene at the beginning of the game, but it does help to give some explanation as to what you are doing.
You take control of the God of Light during the game as he marches along with his army of followers. With the God of Light moving on rails, you only have to worry about commanding these followers. This is done by a process called ‘tri-tapping’, which involves you selecting the type of troop you want in time with the music. Doing so will earn you ratings for each selection. Higher rating will power up your troops, so keeping in time is a must. This feature helps to keep gameplay interesting, since you always have to pay attention while making selections.
For example, enemies high up on a ledge can only be hit by catapult units. Everything you need to know about the unit types, among other things, can be found in the tutorial section of the game. These ten small tutorial levels will help any newcomers get up to speed with how the game works.
The main problem however is Orgarhythm’s length. With only 12 stages that don’t take long to beat, the game can be completed in a few hours, with extra time being added if you replay any of the previous stages. While you can play through again on harder difficulties, there isn’t much incentive to do so, other than to beat you previous scores or unlock new abilities.
At 30 US-Dollar, Orgarhythm is pretty expensive for the amount of content that you get which may put people off. Those that chose to buy this game however will find a unique rhythm RTS hybrid with an amazing soundtrack. With the promise of new DLC levels to come, we definitely recommend that anyone with a Vita who loves rhythm games should check this out.
