Epic Orchestra 4+

Playing this game is an exceptional experience! There are a lot of apps that take 2 things and put them together, but I never would have imagined classical music and a rhythm game. The gameplay is pretty easy—swipe the direction of the arrows while they are over the box. After a while it becomes hypnotic and you feel like you are in control of the little pixel orchestra. The style is very much in tune with modern rhythm games but this one feels more relaxed. It could be the pace and the fact that you are playing to classical music. My favorite track is the Rachmaninov piece. As a classical music fan, I'm glad the selection isn't just the ultra popular classics. I would like to hear more lesser known composers. The Chopin tune is amazing too.

The art is the other thing I love about this game! The pixel art reminds me of the games I grew up playing with my brother. Those chunky pixels bring me back to a time when games required you to use a little imagination to fill in the spaces. The animation of the little musicians are cute and I almost jumped when they started disappearing!

I hope there are more songs in the future and possibly some new challenges. The music is amazing! Most of the tracks are pretty piano heavy with chip tune elements sprinkled in. I recommend this game to anyone that is into classical music and old school games. I enjoyed it both on Apple TV and iPad. I look forward to seeing the games future development.

Thank you!

The music in this game is incredible. I’m not usually much of a gamer but I really enjoyed this one. The swiping makes it feel like you are actually playing the music. I was able to get 3 stars on all of the levels without breaking too much of a sweat. Sometimes I’ll miss a note because I’m just listening to the songs. It would be nice to listen to the music without having to play the game too. Maybe after you beat the level the song could unlock the song to play like a jukebox. I really liked the artwork too. All the characters are super cute. I didn’t play the purchased stages but there is still a lot here for free. I hope they add more free songs in the future too. There also aren’t many ads which can be a major turn off on other games. If you like rhythm games I’d definitely recommend checking this one out.
