Symphonia is a single-player adventure game that invites players to a different and fresh take on platforming games where combat and enemies don’t matter. In this game, what matters is every note of the music you play. Set in a musical realm, this game is a poetic type of platforming game that offers non-violent gameplay. Developed by Sunny peak, it’s available on PC. 

Symphonia functions similarly to Hollow Knight, Rain World, Celeste, and Cuphead — which are all indie games that offer adventure platforming mechanics. Here, players need to create an orchestra and bring back a world to life through classical music. 

Play as a violinist in this poetic and relaxing game 

In Symphonia, players must assume the role of Philemon, a mysterious musician in the game. Philemon is a violin virtuoso who is on an adventure to reignite the realm of Symphonia. In this game, there is no combat nor enemies, the only thing at your disposal is a violin as you traverse a poetic world. The game also features platforming challenges that you can explore.  

Additionally, during your journey, each area in the game offers a distinct feel and characters wherein you can meet various musicians that you can encourage to join your orchestra. Here, the gameplay invites you into a world full of music and rhythm rather than intense combat and battles. With this, it offers a fresh take on the platforming genre as it didn’t base its functionality on traditional platformers. 

The game sets itself apart from battles, powerful bosses, and collecting points as it focuses on its musical aspects which is ideal for fans of relaxing platforming games with musical elements. Here, music is not just part of the background of the game, rather, it’s the main feature. It offers unique combat as it only uses a violin bow and nothing else. However, as the game is a relaxing platformer, it’s not ideal for players seeking intense combat.

Create an orchestra in this musical world 

If you like poetic platforming games that take you on an adventure filled with music and rhythm, Symphonia is a must-try game. Here, you’ll play as a violinist wherein you'll only use the violin bow for combat and all you need to do is gather an orchestra and use music to bring back a broken world to life. Here, you won’t encounter enemies, and you must only focus on your mission of creating an orchestra.
