Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on June 30 - Gematsu
Five House and Deathbulge will release party-based RPG Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch on June 30, the developers announced.
Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands first launched for PC via Steam, GOG, and itch.io on August 8, 2023.
“We’re very proud of what we created with Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands when we released it on Steam back in 2023,” said Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands solo artist Dan Martin in a press release. “While the game remained largely unknown, the reception over the years has been extremely positive amongst those who’ve played it, with some even saying it’s their all-time favorite RPG. This made bringing the game to consoles a no-brainer. As we all grew up with console games, we’re very excited to bring Deathbulge to everyone on Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. And if the Steam reviews have taught us anything, it’s that console players will LOVE IT.”
Here is an overview of the game, via its store pages:
About
You play as Faye, Ian and Briff, a three-piece band of dysfunctional friends who unknowingly stumble into a cursed battle of the bands contest, where all entrants can attack with music and must fight to the death. Kick down every single door you come across. If you’re gonna rudely enter every RPG house despite lack of invite, might as well enter in style. Customize the band with nine musically-themed classes to choose from, each with their own attacks, perks and COOL OUTFIT. Inspire your bandmates as a BUSKER or recklessly deal huge damage at the cost of damaging yourself as a HEADBANGER. Fancy combat system that focuses on MEASURE EFFECTS. What happens BETWEEN turns makes all the difference, combining real-time elements with turn-based combat in a way that we’re ALMOST CERTAIN has never been done before. (It’s been over a year since release and no one’s said otherwise yet!)
Key Features
Roughly 15 to 20 hours of game time.
Late game dating segment.
Sew patches of band logos onto your BATTLE JACKET for extra perks in battle.
No Random Encounters! Monsters will be shown on the field for your avoiding leisure, and 3 different FIELD ABILITIES with which to avoid them.
Unique item system. Say good bye to individually stocking up on consumable items! Once you get a piece of MERCH, you keep it forever, and it simply costs STOCK to use, a refillable global resource for all your merch.
Original soundtrack that’ll make you say things like SIIICK and OH RIGHT ON.
Incredibly rich world boasting a wide variety of colorful characters whose dialogue changes as you progress through the game. Every single NPC is unique, armed with their own dialogue portraits to express themselves TO THE MAX.
Even the ITEMS have personality. Say bye bye to the generic “health potion”. Local NPC Barry Friendly is taking care of the soothing beverages around here. Sink into a warm cup of BARRY FRIENDLY’S TEA whenever your health is low. Maybe you’ll even have the pleasure of meeting Barry at some point.
