Guitar hero? How about a trombone hero instead? 🎺
Back in the noughties you couldn’t move for music games, with everyone trying to copy Guitar Hero with plastic instrument controllers where you button pressed along with the music. The fad didn’t outlast the decade though and now rhythm action games are rare, but that may all change thanks to… Trombone Champ.
The game was released on Steam last week, with no fanfare at all, but now people have had a few days to play it the Steam reviews have already hit ‘Very Positive’ and the game has become a near instant viral hit.in terms of gameplay as, alas, it doesn’t come with a plastic trombone controller. Instead, you have to follow the movement of the music with the mouse and tap in time with the musical notes as they snake across the screen.
Your trombone-playing avatar is clearly ‘inspired’ by Wii Music but nobody seems to care that the game isn’t that original because it turns out playing a trombone is a ton of fun, especially as you can play the notes whenever you want and not just when you’re supposed to – which leads to some interesting ‘arrangements’.
Because it’s an ultra low budget indie game there are only 20 tracks and developer Holy Wow can’t afford to licence any big name songs or bands, which is why the main song in the trailer is The Old Gray Mare and not The Beatles back catalogue.
