FUGA: Melodies of Steel Review - Noisy Pixel

[@martinde-serres8724]

Can't wait to try that one out. CyberConnect2 is such an underrated gem of a developer, giving us a lot of original sleeper hits left and right and this one is no exception. THIS really shows the passion Hiroshi Matsuyama and his teams have when making them. We need more original and unique games like it.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Completely agree!

[@droopy935]

Cyberconnect2 is an awesome company

[@itsdantaylor]

Really liked this game. The difficulty was a little too hard at first but if there's a tip to help out people struggling at first it's this. At first pair up the party and increase their affinity with their 'partners' as much as you can. Later a lot of the end bosses can be circumvented with a high number of link attacks so get as many characters with mid to high affinity levels and stockpile link attacks to be used on the bosses (mostly to destroy their weapons to prevent high damage attacks so you can wail on their bodies)

[@creekandseminole]

It's cool that they brought back the Little Bronx Tail series with this new game. I'm talking about Tail Concerto and Solatorobo Red the Hunter

[@HansAlRachid]

I knew I recognized these visuals from somewhere! Solatorobo was great fun.

[@boredmagala5701]

@@HansAlRachid Yes; and holy shit I don’t know these games exist

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

What is that? I noticed many people mentioned those titles or names. Are they like prequels or sequels to this game?

[@boredmagala5701]

@@TheMixedPlateFrequency they exist in the same universe and play insanely differently; they’re entirely different genres of rpg. Little tail concerto was the first game(I think) and solatorobo was another story in the universe with the protag of little tail making a cameo in some sidequests

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

@@boredmagala5701 Oh wow> i need to check this out. Seems like the overall world is a lot bigger than it seems.

[@zerokura]

The soul cannon makes me think of the Plume from Valkyrie profile Plume something on the DS where your main character can sacrifice a friend to gain a power.

[@ceroscentauri7045]

Have not played that, so for me it reminds me most of Bokurano: Ours, which, without saying much due to spoilers, has a very similar concept at play.

[@zerokura]

@@ceroscentauri7045 *Google name*ah ya that anime. Ya very like it both have children and big robot that you get into.

[@moonman375]

Fuga's release date was my fav E3 announcement, so i'm happy it's finally coming out. I just can't wait

[@zoozbuh]

This looks cute and interesting, mostly because I fondly remember Solatorobo and I’m glad the team is still making games like that. It’s definitely on my radar now

[@Atom12035]

Nice review video dude😎👍

[@NoisyPixelNews]

thank you so much! seriously.

[@coderaccoon6061]

As someone who love Solatorobo, I can't wait to play this. I really hope this game gets the love and recognition it deserves.

[@MrEdd215]

Hoping it gets a physical too, but I’ll definitely buy the digital to support it.

[@monhoj8778]

Looks like it'll destroy my emotions. Can't wait for tomorrow

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Totally

[@RevolutionaryOven]

So did you get to playing it? How'd it go? :D I beat it-- and-- yeah it made me feel horrible--

[@Bole_ZG]

Wasn't aware of this game till recently. Looks really cool. Hoping for physical copy, especially non limited bs. I can wait especially now with Cris Tales,Neo Twewy and huge backlog.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Yea I’m holding out for a physical release too :)

[@Joeypop145]

They did mention about a physical version in the future

[@Bole_ZG]

@@Joeypop145 something recently,or in older articles. I find just in older articles, while in new ones only digital. I hope they do...

[@xavito4337]

Was waiting for a review of this before buying, thanks :)

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thanks for watching!

[@overseastom]

I just saw this on Gamepass, and hoped it was an Advance Wars-esque game based solely off the vertical split screen battles, but it doesn't actually look like it. Is it weird to just want a clone of that game? I loved it so much.

[@Nersius]

Heard there was a newgame+. Hope it is mathematically feasible to go no soul cannon on a first run, even if it requires many a reload.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

You can, but you gotta be vigilant with how you spend your time and not wasting items early on.

[@mbran031]

@@NoisyPixelNews Also know when to use status effects as some regular trash mobs can kill max armor tank in 3-4 hits XD

[@GeminiSunrise06]

I wasnt aware about this game. Thanks for the review, i enjoyed it. Gonna check to buy it.

[@adamholt5395]

This is a game that I never heard of until its E3 announcement, but I am in love with the look and story of this game. I can't wait to play it! Thanks for the review!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Thanks for watching! Let us know what you think of it after you play

[@dcloud3791]

Thanks for getting us on this!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

No problem:)

[@SmileyTrilobite]

0:42 “furry action RPG …with its turn-based combat system” …I’ll assume that’s an RPG about furry action rather than an action RPG about furries, then. :p Regardless, makes me want to try it.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

More like furry-action RPG lol

[@Waldazo]

This gives me Valkyria Chronicles vibes and I love thta!

[@deskslam4232]

Y’know, “The Berman Army” sounds a lot like the German army, and they even wear similar outfits… it’s interesting how much history has influenced games of all types.

[@menggokil2004]

Berman = doBERMANS

[@smokeldogg]

I absolutely love the look of this game and I’ve tried to get into it a few times…but that split screen battling just kills my hype every time.

[@Ruko]

Is it related to any Tail Concerto/Solatorobo game? looking forward to this one for sure.

[@creekandseminole]

Yes.

[@moonman375]

watch the opening and listen carefully, you'll hear solatorobo's leitmotif. Plus, when the soul cannon becomes available... you'll see.

[@PC2000]

Same developers, same universe.

[@Guilmonhero]

Pretty much it's apparently the prequel before the other two.

[@byrontheusurper6505]

I gotta play this game, solatorobo was one of my absolute favourite childhood games!

[@Scout-Fanfiction]

Looks awesome. Thanks for highlighting this niche rpg :).

[@darkzentai7417]

Run in to this game by accident, I think you’ve done it a little bit of a disservice by not mentioning there is a demo for people to try for free. I’ve fallen in Love with and the tank really reminds me of howls moving castle.

[@unrealkirbo]

I'm kinda sad that it's not an actual sequel to Solatorobo, but you gotta take what they give you. It looks cool ss well

[@conkersuprfan]

this looks very cool even tho I'm not a big fan of RPGs...I'll def consider this next paycheck

[@lu7ky]

Dang that surprise mechanic of the cannon, I hope there is some way to finish the game without using it, I don't want to lose any characters if i can help it.

[@NoisyPixelNews]

You might not be able toooooo, maybe, choice nerd to be made correctly but you’ll have fun no matter what you do

[@droopy935]

Yes!!! Day 1 purchase for me!!

[@roda.7853]

Awesome review, thank you! But... Wasn't the soul cannon part a bit spoilery? Thanks for the inputs, though!

[@neolordie]

you discover it in the first 10 minutes of gameplay, also it's been mentioned in the trailers and I believe the steam page

[@roda.7853]

@@neolordie oh, cool, thx for clarifying.

[@danbooke2001]

@@neolordie Then exactly how does this reviewer get so close to the character he killed by using it? 10 minutes seems hardly time enough to do that. Without playing the game, I doubt this happens 10 minutes into the game, probably more like 2 hours but no way it is 10 minutes. Also, never saw any preview that gave indication that firing the thing actually kills a playable character you spend time developing/knowing. Regardless, it is indeed a bit "spoilery", now I know to avoid firing it if I can and when I do the result won't be as impact full for sure.

[@neolordie]

@@danbooke2001 you are introduced to the mechanic 10min into the game, didn't say it was relevant then

looks awesome

[@arielfontecilla5562]

I haven't played the game and was looking for a review that would tell me if the game was good, like reviews do, but not to spoil me an emotional moment in the game, even if its from the beginning. Its still robbing me of the surprise

[@christianvalentincota5452]

Is the character artist the one from danganronpa sonce the artstyle reminded me of it

[@Osiris2994]

Oh my God, is this what a pokemon nuzlocke is like???

They missed the chance to call the soldiers Grrmans rather than Berman omg

Oh looked interesting but I won't be able to play this game with the Soul Cannon mechanic, especially if it's forced.

[@joshuatheargonaut4412]

I was extremely interested I this when I saw it highlighted in another you tubers video. But what is the deal with this price? 57.13? Is anyone else getting this? Is this a mistake? Not only is it expensive but what a weird price. Please someone enlighten me on why.

You shouldn't of mentiomed what happens when you use the soul cannon but good review none the less :)

[@NoisyPixelNews]

Yea, I tried dancing around it, but it was a significant feature that i was emotionally attached it. I agree though, it caught me off guard and I should have allowed others to experience the same thing.

Hopefully this one doesn't fall to the "ew furries" mentality that made Solatorobo flop.
