What players think
The recurring themes across 238 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The narrative is lighthearted and infused with humor, featuring levels inspired by different genres and eras of video games.
Old School Musical, developed by La Moutarde and published by Dear Villagers, is a rhythm-based adventure game that cleverly combines music gameplay with nostalgic video game references.
One clearly states that it’s a soundtrack, however it’s just the soundtrack for the story mode.
The game’s design leans heavily on pixel art visuals and a chiptune soundtrack, evoking the charm of classic 8-bit and 16-bit games, while its rhythm mechanics provide a modern twist that keeps players engaged and challenged throughout the experience.
I would've loved to have seen a more Versus-centric style of multiplayer, but for what it's worth, it is still tons of fun to groove out with friends.
It's a cute little music game, and if you strip it down it is a very basic music game that's reminiscent of playing ddr on a hand controller.
