- A review and analysis of Brutal Orchestra, a turn-based indie rougelike, and also one of the most criminally underrated games of the last few years.

BRUTAL ORCHESTRA on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/17... - เกม
throught the whole video i was thinking "damn that artstyle looks VERY familiar" and its because the creator also made perfect vermin and swallow the sea, both are short and sweet horror games that are FREE on steam, i heavily recomend playing them
I was wondering why swallow the sea's ouroboros creature was in this game lol. Now that I think about it, maybe the main character is a insight into the actual creators thoughts and emotions?
i just realized they were the same guys at 7:32. thats one of the enemies you encounter in swallow the sea
I have at last found another one of the 7 lisa fans, good to meet you brother
i'm one too! maybe we can get all 7 in the same room for once. Brutal Orchestra itself directly references LISA: The Pointless, and honestly seeing that reference was a large factor of me first picking it up lol
Hello kind sir. Another one calling in.
@@no1mayorofsimpleton I first heard of brutal orchestra through the lisa subreddit and them showing off the infinity jersey in the game
Here’s another Lisa fan right here.
Greetings friend,the only fan of Lisa from Cuba salutes you
I dislike most turn based combat games because they either end up being stale or get boring quick, yet I Instantly bought the game at 2:30am today after watching your video. After playing for hours, I can say you're right, it's truely an underated indie gem and a perfect turn based combat game. Zingus, thank you for sharing with us such an amazing game.
Same, Rift Wizard also has fun turn based combat
Who up munging they guts
mortal horizon
I'm surprised I've never heard about this game, when it has almost everything I would enjoy in a game, especially since I tend to go out of my way to look for games that are considered "underrated". Thanks TH-cam for showing me this underrated gem of a video.
+++
Did you go out and play it?
Everyday I come to this video to see how many people may have watched it. Brutal Orchestra deserves to be _known_ . Its quality is way too high for a community this small.
Ah thank you for recognizing the amazingness that is Brutal Orchestra! It deserves so much more recognition than it’s been getting and you put so thoughtfully and beautifully into words what makes it one of the best of the best. This was incredible. Subscribed!
I got this game because of this video. This random video from a creator I've never heard from about a game I knew even less about. It picked my interest enough to dig more into it until I eventually bought it not long ago. And ever since then it has quickly become my favorite rogue-like of all time. The uniqueness of each individual run has kept each run feeling so fresh and interesting. The variety of characters and Items keeps me thinking about potential builds to try in the future. The story and writing gives me enough to chew on to keep me invested in what's happening.
All of this from 1, random video. I guess they were right "Well a broken clock is right twice. And if a clock can muster that..."
Hope this video blows up someday dood. keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I'm glad to see so many people getting into this game because of my video, it's really the best reward I could ask for from making this.
wake up babe new zingus video
Zingus out there SPITTING FACTS. Great vid dude!!
Daaamn Mato out in the wild, whats googa
Glad to see some love for my absolute favorite turn based roguelite!
The game
WOAH! You mentioned Lisa of all things! And a goddamn fan game no less! Kudos to you pal!
Ok 2 things, take with a grain of salt.
1st Screw you now I am absolutely addicted to Brutal Orchestra and I bought it nearly instantly and played through it about 20 times while having a idiot savant luck that everything went like I wanted in 1st, 2nd, 5th run beating the game in those moments, and still wanting to come back to 100% it.
2nd, thank you, you glorious person you for showing the game to me because sweet lord I would miss out on it and never experience a gameplay form and music I would fall in love with so fast.
I would say thanks youtube also for showing me the vid, but screw them they screw over content creators.
Still, thank you for all the work on this video, this isn't a joke it actually did influence me to buy the game the same day just an hour after contemplating over if I should wait for a sale, which lately isn't something I do...
But since I done it and absolutely fell in love with the whole experience and characters (shout out to npc described as "horny jesus" and my best pall "Bronzo") I do hope you will make more of those videos because discovering a thing that deserves so much more recognition is something positive for the game themselves.
At 16:30 that monster is from another game i remember, ig they were both made by the same person so he decided to include it in the game.
Yep! That’s the Ouroboros from Swallow the Sea which was also made by us.
Bought this in the summer sale off of your recommendation, excited to try it out!
WOOO ZINGUS5
This Game Is Downright Radical, also I'm excited for the lisa video!
PS. Forget Osman Sinnoks with Kliever For A Truly Monstrous Item...
most brutal zingus video ever
I am so very delighted to see such a heartfelt review of Brutal Orchestra!! Thank you so much, sir. Your stellar video got a well-deserved shout-out on the Discord! I hope this wonderful game gains more traction, as well. I wholeheartedly agree its quite the indie gem.
Dok (blooble grunglestra)

Also how did you know I was Shakespear?
@@t-e-a6752 why the fuck are you texting this at 6:30 in the fucking morning.
yoooooooooo, zingus' latest banger
I really hope this game gets the attention it deserves, it's such a unique and fun experience and I hope it has a bright future ahead of it
New vid yooooooo
Gave a like so more people hear about this, even even I myself havent played the game just yet.
Lets hope for a Switch version >_
God, I hope this game and Pizza Tower get ported to the Switch...
I actually heard of this because the creator did Swallow the Sea and Perfect Vermin, so this showed up on my recommendations because I have those on my Steam account. I agree with you and I think it's awesome you're spreading awareness!
Ok you got me, I love this vid and I hope the rest of your videos forward are similarly amazing
Fantastic video. Looks like I found my next steam purchase!
Another Zingus classic!!! Thank you for the recommendation
I can safely say that your channel is, criminally overlooked masterpiece.
YESSSS! This game deserves more attention!
Never even heard of this until now. Will check it out
Well, you'll be happy to know I've definitely added this to my Wishlist! That gameplay looks absolutely fascinating, and I can only imagine what the story's got in store. Thanks for this video to spread the word!
Going to try picking this up when I get some free time
This was a really good video
This game has have my fun for the entire year, I wholeheartedly reccomend it
once again the algorithm has blessed me
Thank you for the video. I just subscribed to your channel and bought this game.
Very nice that you put time into this video on such a great game, keep up the good work Zingus.
Bought at full price entirely because of this video. Everything about this game sounds like exactly the sort of thing I'd love.
Put an hour into it last night. This game is an instant favorite. I can't believe it got completely ignored for so long!
@@mr_geargrinder
Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to check this game out and I also hope this channel gets more recognition :D
What I have observed in regards to turn based combat systems, is that any good ones always involve some element of space. Movement and positioning increases the potential complexity so greatly it cannot really be matched.
Fantastic review, structured very nicely.
good review. Very refreshing to see a review from a game that is loved
I don't even like this kind of turnbased games (preffering things like Battle for Wesnoth or Into the Breach) but man I love Brutal orchestra
thank you for bringing more attention to this game
Now i know what game im gonna play when i get an pc
I’m one of the people that invested into buying the game, and since the Egg of Incubus came out, the unpredictability amps up a notch. And since I love odd games, I loved it with every atom of my body.
Woah this video is so good! I don't usually watch video game reviews, but this one got me hooked the whole way through. Single handily made me wanna buy it.
Love how one of it achievements references the infinity franchise from Lisa the pointless
oh hey, the oroboros is from another small game, swallow the sea!
Yep, Nico and I made Swallow the Sea to test if we could work together. Swallow the Sea turned out really well so we made Brutal Orchestra.
One of the best roguelite's i've ever played, glad to see it's getting more attention.
I’ve beat it for the first time just now, and wow.
What a game.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.
I can’t recommend it enough. This game is beautiful.
What i coincidence, today i remember this game but not the name, i spent 3 hours or so trying to find it.
Such good work my dude. Congrats!
Thank you for bringing more people into Brutal Orchestra. I bought it as soon as it came out and I have been recommending it to everyone I can!
YEEEEAAAAH SOMEONE NOTICED THIS GAME THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
Had my eye on the game for a while, but I just needed the push to go on and get it. I really just needed to see someone explain the amount of depth it has. I love turn-based combat as a core of games, and I always want to see just how far it can be pushed in terms of creativity. This game really does something special.
It definitely does deserve more attention. Hell I only found out about it because of a VERY unknown twitter artist making one of my favourite pieces of fanart I've seen of this game, literally being my introduction. I almost completely missed my now favourite turn based game, and only found it because of a random YTer I watched did a one time collab with another YTer who eventually quit YT to just do art on twitter and game development, doing random fanart of a game she herself randomly found one day just trying to search for a different game.
And I am so happy that the Rub Goldberg machine that is my life let me find this game~
I remember finding out about this game after quickly crushing Swallow The Sea by the same developer, and I REALLY need to get around to it
0:27 sotw is one of the most fun rpg maker experience i ever had
What game is it?
And an addition end note, NEW UPDATE SOON!!! *“Exquisite Corpse”*
I don’t know what that entails but IM HYPE!
(On the update page they link to the definition of exquisite corpse)
As someone who slay the spire was the gateway into gaming in general, I'm so glad you mentioned it was good! I'll have to check this game out!
After playing through the game and making it to the final boss (which I haven’t beat yet it’s super challenging). I can 100% agree this game is a genuine Masterpiece, there is NOTHING like Brutal Orchestra. It is an amazing game, I can’t even complain about anything but my stupid placement sometimes.
For my Lisa fans in the audience, Arnold (One of the OP party members in the game) is actually in one of the fangames of Lisa I’ve covered, Timeless in Pointless, as a secret party member. He’s partly the reason I got into this game in the first place, and I’m happy to have found it. I also reccomend Lisa and the fangames to anyone who loves turn based RPGs.
wow, thes seems like a great game, and i'm glad youtube recomended your channel for no reason :^V
may the algorithm bless you always more.
It makes me very happy that you dedicated your time for this as you did justice to this game quality with this video and I want to add an additional point to encourage whoever is reading this comment to play this
Turn based RPGs often sin from obscure data. It can be an effect activation chance, base stats... It's a shame because you need to look SOMEWHERE ELSE rather than the game itself to get a grasp of possibly important things. This game however gets a well deserved round of applauses for giving you the most relevant data ALWAYS. You can check basically everything in any moment and you even can look a glossary with all the terms of this game
You won't be able to predict the minimal RNG things, but this game does a sublime work because they allow you to understand everything else while keeping a spark of randomness that spices up every run
This game reminds me so much of Lisa the painful it is not even funny
The animations
The characters,
The monsters,
all of it, and it is AMAZING
Yeah, there are a ton of LISA influences in this game
Zingus is 2 for 2 on making banger videos
I 100%ed Perfect Vermin a while back and it led me to this game by the same developer. I was iffy on picking it up back then, but having seen this video, it's clear that I've gotta try it. Great video!
I watched Brutal Orchestra on ManlyBadassHero's channel,because he played other games by the same guy like "Swallow the Sea".
Did he play Brutal Orchestra? If he did I can’t believe I missed it.
@@TaliabobMair Well I definetly remember seeing a voiced walkthrough & seeing the ending. If he did play it you can just look for it in search the tab up top.
@@BrunoMaricFromZagreb are you sure your not thinking of retromation?
@@TaliabobMair Definetly not,I didn't watch his videos.
It might've been Ludophiles or Alphabetagamer,but I am confident I heard Manly when I watched the walkthrough & seen the ending.
Fuck someone else have played Scholar of Wilbur Sin, that makes all 11 lisa fans finally grow in size!
Love this game🙏🙏🙏
Hey Bro I love your content, really nice work. One request, could you please tag games that you throw up on screen for those of us who may not recognize them. I see you going places brother.
bro i love zingus
An underrated gem of a video about an underrated gem of a game ^ ^
it sounds interesting
absolutely agree. this game is stupidly good. great vid, bud.
tbh i didn't know this game existed (what a surprise) but was not expecting it to be made by the same guy who made Swallow The Sea they even have the main threat from that game as a cameo in this one (7:29). i'll definitely be checking this game out
just bought it, looking forward to the Symphony Of Destruction im sure will ensue :)
I like the character unlocks in this most are for making progress , some are through dialogue and a small amount are consolation prizes if you are unlucky or are struggling.
okay, yeah, you've convinced me. this game looks really cool.
unfortunately, with all the games coming out right now, it'll have to wait, I don't wanna start a game only to then play something else and get back to it later. but I'll definitely be checking it out in the coming months.
Another great video
Another highly overlooked game I’d recommend is Monolith: After the end
Literally the best roguelike I’ve ever played.
Is it bad that it took me super long to realise it was saying casualties and not casual ties after every fight
Not only would I say it's a Masterpiece, I would actually say it's the best game ever made.
I've been playing this game for a year now, and I can attest to everything you've said in the video, pigment is just a godlike system.
I was honestly shocked when you said there was 22 party members, it feels like there's like 60 because of the way each character also gets a random moveset, except longliver, and nowak, and somebody who I was tasked to forget. Granted I also play modded and there's a lot of party member mods, most of them really good! I've been wanting to learn modding just so I could make characters for this game specifically.
As an aspiring game dev, I will also be stealing the pigment system with no remorse for every turn based game I will ever make. Also the cute little attack animations, love those attack animations.
its starting to take off :3
zingus got bars i will not lie
FYI ouroboros' "starvation" attack isnt instakill, but rather does a MASSIVE 21 dmg, which might aswell be
Before I thoroughly understood how Orro functioned, my winning strategy was to sit Boyle over the head and just stack shields and eat the damage, keeping him healed with all the blue pouring into my bar.
I love Brutal Orchestra's art style. It reminds me of The Binding of Isaac and LISA, and I adore how both of those look. It's as beautiful as a game inspired by Hieronymous Bosch's paintings of hell and that calls itself an orchestra ought to be. It overall reminds me of Hylics in a really good way, and Hylics 2 is one of my favourite turn based rpgs out there
i haven't seen this game in a WHILE, saying that it's underrated is an understatement
I learned about this game a few days ago, but had to wait until today to buy it because today is when I got paid. I hope my brother will get interested too :D
commenting again cuz this game is so incredibly underrated and more people NEED to see this
zingus my beloved
I didn't even hear about this game until I came across this video.
For my first 4 hours of playing this game, I just completely missed that there was a "rank up" thing in this game somehow... but I still got to hard mode 😅
Gonna buy this game tmrw, decided to listen to the soundtrack multiple times throughout the day and I’m HOOKED! The art style is absolutely stunning, the gameplay looks amazing and the story seems sick! I recently played Issac and just now beat Dogma, I’ve been craving a new game to take my time like Issac and I think this will be it. Thank you for the awesome video and I’m looking forward to this game! Also on the topic of unknown indie games, Rain World is phenomenal, not really a rouge-like but has certain elements of one. More of a survival horror physics based platformer. Check it out if you have the time!
Rain World is great! A really unique experience that's unlike anything else I've played. I talk about it a little in my most recent video, too!
@@zingus5 that’s awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll have to check out your other content, I subscribed as well, keep up the good work man!
I’m coming back here after 160 hours and having 100% on the game I think it’s safe to say. This is the best game I’ve ever played.
got this game recently on sale, it was totally worth it
Happy Birthday dood
What was the music used in the montage towards the beginning? I've been listening to the game's soundtrack and I've found some good songs but I can't seem to find this one
That is “Primary Colours” the theme of the Jumble Guts enemies.
th-cam.com/video/893nPCVYAv8/w-d-xo.html
Guess I just missed it, it's Primary Colours
been interested in this one since i had my old (and now, dead) laptop that couldn't actually run it. My new one can, so i'm waiting for this to go on sale, though i'm less inclined to buy games now (only gonna buy 2 this year and they're called Hades II and Hollow Knight Silksong) because I have to save for a controller. But it's nice to see it's actually good. And I'm a big LISA the Painful fan btw.
sounds like an amazingly well thought out game .. but also decision paralysis purgatory to me personally.
The soundtrack was the best soundtrack you could buy on steam
