What is Nocturne?

This single-player, 2D rhythm RPG takes place in a deteriorating digital afterlife long after humanity disappears. You explore and level up through a story campaign, attacking enemies by hitting notes in time; too many misses trigger enemy counterattacks. Defeating enemies unlocks their tracks in Arcade Mode for high-score attempts.

+you want several difficulty settings for learning rhythm combat
+you enjoy searching for secrets and choosing character equipment

Not for you if...

−you prefer traditional turn-based battles over timing musical notes
