"The London-based (Canada) indie games developer Big Blue Bubble today announced with great happiness and thrill that their rock-and-roll roguelike deck builder “Power Chord”, is coming to PC via Steam on January 26th, 2023 (a Nintendo Switch version will also be released sometime in the future)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Power Chord is successful in crafting a music-themed deck-building RPG, but it can still feel like it's missing something at times.
If you can get past its more grind-y elements, Power Chord can still be a fun deckbuilding roguelike game thanks to its impressive blend of influence that makes great use of its “Battle of the Bands” setup. It’s something for every headbanger to check out, as well as fans of the genre who don’t minds banging their heads against walls as they gradually chip down each tough demon in their path. Not exactly worthy of a Platinum record, but it can still be an enjoyable listen.
Smash guitars, drums, and more to beat the odds in this upcoming deck builder. We go hands-on with the game at PAX East in this preview.
