How it plays
Is it good
80%
Very positive on Steam
“Songbringer is quite simply brilliant. [...] It’s a feat of technical skill in more ways than one and offers countless hours of dungeon crawling potential. [...] For anyone who enjoys a good adventure or the old LoZ titles, Songbringer is the game for you.”
9.2 · N3rdabl3 “A combination of action RPG and rogue-ish exploration of a wonderfully detailed yet procedurally generated world. [...] I think it’s hard to underplay just how successfully the seeded world feels coherent and complete – something on which a lot of procedurally generated games can easily fall short.”
