Seasoned GamingSteve EspositoJan 20238.5/10Much like playing an instrument, Power Chord is all about learning, adapting, and creating beautiful music to the beat of slaying demons.

Hardcore GamerKyle LeClairJan 20233.5/5If you can get past its more grind-y elements, Power Chord can still be a fun deckbuilding roguelike game thanks to its impressive blend of influence that makes great use of its "Battle of the Bands" setup. It's something for every headbanger to check out, as well as fans of the genre who don't minds banging their heads against walls as they gradually chip down each tough demon in their path. Not exactly worthy of a Platinum record, but it can still be an enjoyable listen.

WhatIfGamingAli HashmiJan 20238/10All in all, I’m having a great time with Power Chord. I really like the playable characters, their designs, and how I have to account for multiple synergies. The presentation and attention to detail put it way above most other deck builders, and the dedication to heavy metal aesthetics encompassing every part of the game is truly commendable. With some balancing, especially with how it handles difficulty, I think Power Chord can become an even better title with hours of enjoyment and replayability.

PC GamerNoah SmithFeb 202350/100Power Chord's slick card-slinging combat is weighed down by a gaudy aesthetic and lack of variety.

GameLusterJordan DubeFeb 20236/10While there are better deck building games out, Power Chord nailed the heavy metal theme and rocking gameplay, the design choices just didn’t land on the beat.
