HarmoKnight also excels in its presentation. As expected from a rhythm game, the music is superb. The soundtrack is bright and cheerful when its necessary, or menacing and tense if called upon. There's not a miss on the soundtrack, and the large bank of material makes it easy to go back and replay songs. Visually, the game is exceptional. This world of music is incredibly realized, and the detail is pleasing.

The enemies come in many shapes and sizes, and their appearance fits the sounds they make. As you near the end of the game, liberties are taken with the camera as it spins and obscures the course ahead.

The audio and video work hand in hand to engage, encouraging the player to fall into a trance-like state and become one with the music. As successful as HarmoKnight is in its core gameplay, missteps is its variety. During his adventure, Tempo befriends two individuals; Lyra, and Tyko. While infrequent, the sections that cast the player as these characters lack any sense of identity. Sure, they look different- Lyra attacks with a harp and the camera angles behind her back, and Tyko has you monitoring enemies that attack from above and below- but they're not a true change of pace. They play very much like Tempo in that you tap a button to attack and dodge, but both employ the use of a reticule.

In the Iwata Asks for HarmoKnight, the developers made it clear that they eschewed a reticule for Tempo deliberately, a decision I wholeheartedly agree with. The use of a reticule makes the game less about getting into the rhythm, and more about waiting for an enemy to show up inside a circle.

The importance of music is pushed to the side, but thankfully, these two show up very infrequently.Boss fights are another attempt to mix things up, but fall flat in attempts. Yet again, the focus shifts away from feeling the beat and puts it on prescribed inputs. The boss attacks are played out as button prompts, and you repeat the string to succeed. Much like using a reticule, it becomes very clear as to what you must do.

You're being fed instructions, so that sense of wonder you feel in the majority of the game's levels is lost.The game takes place across seven worlds (and an unlockable eighth that is composed of remixed music) which amounts to over 50 stages, each of which is an entirely different piece of music. The over world is presented like Super Mario Bros. 3 and is a nice hand-drawn contrast to the game's otherwise 3D visuals. Each world has its own musical theme, from calypso to rock and everything in between. Progress is made on a stage by stage basis.

Perform well enough, and you’ll earn a Royal Note, a special item used to unlock future roadblocks. The bar is not set too high to earn one, so don't expect your progression to come to a screeching halt. Has anybody else had serious problems with one particular jump at the beginning of 'The Final Fight'?I'm pretty damn good at rhythm games, and so far this game has been a cake walk for me (getting gold on most levels on my first or second try), but there's one jump at the beginning of that level which I seem to whiff on like 75% of the time. It seems off, somehow. Like it's not in time with the rhythm.

I've tried jumping prematurely and I've also tried jumping late (or at least what feels to me to be premature and late) but it still seems to only work some of the time. The worst part is that it's instant death if you miss it. For games like Bit.Trip Runner I didn't find that frustrating because the game was quick to get me back in the action. Harmonknight, however, has these really obnoxious cut scenes not only for story stuff, but also to show you the incoming enemies and obstacles.

Which after trying the level like 15 times are really getting on my nerves. @roykoopa64I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me. It's weird, because while that boss wasn't exactly easy, that jump at the beginning was probably the hardest part about it, lol. I've beaten it now and received a 'Good' (silver) for my trouble. It's a shame about that jump though. I had intended on going back through the game and getting all gold on at least the 'normal' speed.

That jump frustrated me so much, however, that I don't think I'm going to bother.There are certain design elements of Harmoknight that I'm not a huge fan of. For instance, I'm of the opinion that the game's boss battles involve far too much watching and not enough playing. I prefer those levels in Harmonknight which allow the player to intuit the rhythm through the music and visuals rather than stopping the gameplay to show the player a preview of what the upcoming beats will be. With rhythm games I've always liked the urgency and the sense of flow.

For me, the constant interruptions in boss battles (while cinematic) detracted from the 'rhythm'.Despite those quibbles though, I did really enjoy the game. I can't stress enough just how polished it is. It would have been easy to justify selling Harmoknight at retail, so for the price being asked on eShop it's more than worth it.
