Our last game preview from PAX East 2017 is a rhythm platformer from developer Tinimations. Like the previous game that I previewed, Klang is a game that came out last year but was available on the show floor for us to try out. The game does some interesting things that I had not seen in a rhythm or platforming game before, so this game was an interesting discovery at the event. (more…)
If you didn’t win one of our copies of the Klang soundtrack back in October you’ve got another chance to get it, well, close to free. Both the game and the soundtrack are 50% off on Steam and Bandcamp (with coupon code klang50) now through January 2nd. If you need a refresher, just take a listen to the thumping soundtrack above from bLiNd and see how it sets the pace of the challenging rhythm-platforming in some gameplay footage.
As Shawn posted last month, the music for the action rhythm game Klang is now available on multiple platforms. To promote the game’s OST, the guys from GameChops have crafted a music video to help illustrate how powerfully the music and gameplay work in tandem within the game.
The game’s soundtrack features 34 tracks and can be found on Bandcamp, Amazon Music and more on the Klang soundtrack page.
If you’ve played the game and have not yet purchased the soundtrack or you’re a fan of composer bLiNd’s work, then you’re in luck. OSV has been given two codes for free copies of the Klang OST on Bandcamp. Comment on this post with your email address and share this post via Facebook or Twitter (post a link so we can see!) to win a chance at one of these two codes. We’ll pick the winner randomly by the end of the week!
Did you love Crypt of the Necrodancer’s fusion of gameplay and music but wish the action was real time? If that sounds like it would make for a daunting experience, you’re not wrong! Klang, from one-man studio Tinimations, is available now on Steam for $14.99.
As Tinimations Tom-Ivar Arntzen explains it, “what makes Klang different from other rhythm games makes it challenging. Klang blends the variety of tasks players perform in action games with the timing challenges in rhythm games. The result is an immersive experience where players must pay attention to what they’re doing and the music they’re doing it to.”
That music comes in the form of a 34-track score from game music remix veteran, bLiNd and is available to buy alongside the game for $7.99. There’s also a free 4-track sampler album on Bandcamp so you can get a taste of the larger soundtrack. While it probably makes for a harrowing experience in the game, all the music I’ve heard so far has been pleasantly danceable and not overwhelmingly hardcore as you might expect.
Take a listen to the free sampler album above and check out some gameplay footage inside. If Klang proves to be enticing you can grab the game and its soundtrack at a discount right now on Steam. Normally priced $14.99, Klang is 20% off through September 29th, as is the soundtrack.
