Orgarhythm review: Laying down godlike beats
If it’s possible to have a favorite “type” of game – not genre, mind you, but favorite “type” – I’d have to say that the games I love most are “ambitious but imperfect.” These are games that try to do intriguing, daring things: meld genres together, build themselves around an interesting theme, tell a story in an unconventional manner. Often they run into more than a few technical and design hiccups, perhaps because the developers’ ambitions outstripped their team’s capability to realize them. But in spite of their flaws, there’s something secretly awesome about them that makes wrestling with all their foibles worth it.
Having read all that, you’ve probably already guessed that Orgarhythm falls into this category. It’s a bizarre mix of god-sim, rhythm game, and RTS that mostly – mostly – works. When it shines brightest, it’s a fabulous and unique experience.
