Certainly a fun game. Not the prettiest or deepest, but there is plenty of things to do that you just cannot do in any other game. The game works well, has some interesting mechanics and is fun to play. There is a certain "grindy" aspect to it, but it doesn't feel annoying or like it's just there to prolong the the game unnecessarily. The grind feels like a natural part of how you grow as a musician. And before you know it, you make plenty of money off of playing gigs. One thing that i feel is missing, is a way to hang with your band mates. All in all a fun game that could certainly be improved in a lot of places, but a game that captures the feel of my local music scene and gives you the chance to be a hard working and successful band that no other game can give you.

Great Potential, DLC could have more content, but overall fun game if you like music

Oct. 2024

Really fun game, but the reason this game is better than others to me is the love and care his developper has for it. So many changes (big and small) were made because Todd from Gilligames listened to feedback is amazing.

interesting game from this solo dev. amazingly still minor updates/patches 4 years on! gets repetitive end-game and progresses very slow, but there is a lot of dynamicism and nuances in this game. i'm still working to be the top rock band 70+ hours in, but I am enjoying the grind, which is a rare sentiment nowadays. thank you gilligame

Get this game. It's polished, and stable. This is a real management simulator with you still being involved in your bands day-to day stuff. I recently watched a video where the dev says he is making more time to evolve the game. I really hope that is true because he has a winner here. The graphics could use an update, but going through the process of getting photo shoots done, posters, T shirts and banners, while using an intuative song creator and having to practice is addictive. Choosing when to buy / upgrade name brand equipment and develop your characters When you finally get into gigs and tours, the beginning grind to generate money becomes worth it. If DLCs/Packs come out i'm all in at this point. There are some suggestions to be made, but this is more of a solid base to grow from. It's a breath of fresh air considering some of the latest buggy, hot garbage that gets labeled "early access" or worse releasing it too early for a quick cash grab from the company looking for cash not quality. Oh ya....buy this game, you won't be disappointed, and hopefully inspires the person who made it to keep adding to it. I'm picky and don't usually write reviews. This was worth it!
