Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso

Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso is a classic rhythm game, offering a number of game modes and many levels of difficulty. Its developer is the Korean studio Superb Corp. The title is an extended and modified version of Pianista, which appeared on iOS and Android. The developers have prepared a new edition of the game for Nintendo Switch, enriching it with new content and numerous improvements.

Mechanics

Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso uses a gameplay model known, for example, from the legendary Korean DJMAX series. While playing, we observe a vertical route divided (depending on the choice) into six or four paths, on which the blocks move from top to bottom of the screen. Each track is assigned to one of the buttons of the controller. We have to press them to the rhythm of the music at the right moment - when the block approaches the edge of the screen. Optionally, the game also allows you to use the Switch touch screen. Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso offers several levels of difficulty, as well as the ability to control the speed of movement of the blocks, which further increases the complexity of the game.

The production offers works of 22 most famous classical music composers, such as Bach, Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi and Dvorák. It is worth mentioning that it has also been enriched with online scoreboards and rankings, as well as educational elements, allowing us to get acquainted with the biography of individual artists.

Game modes

Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso offers three basic game modes. In Matinee, we go through a row of three tracks of our choice. Concours offers a range of thematically sorted challenges with a predetermined level of difficulty. The last one is the Ensemble mode. This is a cooperative game for two people who play a song together on a split screen.

Technical aspects

Pianista: The Legendary Virtuoso offers uncomplicated and transparent graphics. The interface skins unlocked during the game are inspired by the most famous paintings in the world.
