Indie developer Big Blue Bubble, previously known to our readers by their game Foregone, has announced Power Chord. This appears to be the latest team-based, roguelike, deck-builder title, which I normally don’t write about but this one caught my attention because visually it looks a lot like Guitar Hero: World Tour. I spent a whole bunch of hours clacking away on those awful plastic drums and guitars, so this aesthetic has a special place in my heart.
I hadn’t really heard about this game yet, but we got a press release announcing the inclusion of their newest character Roxy. Roxy is a badass drummer Riot Girl, which is just in time for the Christmas tradition of hearing other songs about Little Drummer People, so we thought you guys would be interested to see and learn more about her.
Info straight from the press release:
In Power Chord, earth’s mightiest musicians will assemble to utilize their unique abilities to rock out insane combos against the demonic horde. With each bandmate having their own distinct gameplay style, cards and perks, Power Chord allows players to create unique combos based on different band combinations. Bands will consist of four musicians with their own color-coded cards, including:
● Drummer – Blue cards. Drummers are the “tank” of the band and can defend using armor, redirect damage and retaliate based on damage taken.
● Guitarist – Red cards. Guitarists can dish out serious single-target damage by hyping themselves up.
● Bassist – Purple Cards. Raining down Area of Effect damage, Bassists can attack multiple targets and apply/remove debuffs from their bandmates and enemies.
● Vocalist – Yellow cards. The support and healer of the band, vocalists focus on healing, cleansing debuffs and buffing up the band.
I’ll be honest – I’ve never played any of these Deck-Builder games but I guess they’re super popular now since Slay The Spire did so well? I dunno, but if you’re interested in finding out more about Power Chord, check out the playable demo on their Steam page.
