But you won’t be fighting your way through hordes of enemies with brute force—no, your weapon of choice is music.

The gameplay focuses on mastering a variety of instruments and using them in musical duels against powerful Guardians, testing your rhythm and timing in pulse-pounding battles.
Visually stunning and emotionally resonant
Inspired by the artistry of Pixar and Studio Ghibli, Melobot – A Last Song offers a visual feast for the eyes. Each region you explore is richly detailed, with unique visual styles that bring the game’s sci-fi universe to life. The narrative is deeply emotional, weaving a tale of survival, hope, and the power of music to heal not just the planet, but the souls of its last remaining inhabitants.
As you progress through the game, you’ll unlock new abilities for Melobot, allowing you to take on more challenging musical duels and uncover the deeper mysteries of this silent planet.
