Keylocker: Turn Based Cyberpunk Action
Keylocker: Turn Based Cyberpunk Action, développé par Moonana et édité par Serenity Forge, est sorti le 18 septembre 2024 sur PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 et Xbox Series X|S. Ce jeu de rôle indépendant mêlant aventure, stratégie et musique propose un combat au tour par tour de style rhythm JRPG inspiré des séries Mario & Luigi RPG et de Chrono Trigger, où le joueur incarne B0B0, une Doppelganger assignée à la caste la plus basse de Saturne en l'an 801, alors que la musique y est interdite depuis 141 ans. Au sein d'une révolution contre les Saturnian Satellites, B0B0 recrute un robot batteur pour son groupe illégal et part en quête de la vérité sur le Keylocker, affrontant les autorités et piratant le réseau de cette planète impitoyable. Le titre utilise le moteur GameMaker, affiche un temps de completion principal d'environ vingt heures et est proposé au prix de 19,99 euros. La presse a salué un bon entraînement au genre JRPG avec personnages attachants et minijeux, tandis que certains joueurs regrettent un récit parfois confus, un combat lent et une narration excessive, d'autres appréciant l'univers déroutant et le charme du jeu malgré des défauts. L'aggregate rating du titre s'élève à 61,00.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Keylocker proves to be a great entry to the JRPG genre and it has all the milestones that many games of the genre have. There are likable characters, minigames, amazing music and a compelling story to bring it all together. »
« As eclectic as its soundtrack, Keylocker has much to love, though with an underlying narrative experience that can be lacking, I can’t recommend the game to everyone. But the superb musical performances and the compelling oddity of it all are good reasons to consider downloading yourself into this flawed but unique adventure. »
« Keylocker is a fun, beautiful turn-based RPG that does a great job of meshing not only a fun combat system but a sleuth of other minigames to keep its journey fresh. If you like rhythm games and an extensive timing-based combat system, look no further than this one. »
« Keylocker has a lot of things going for it, and is a genuinely good experience with the right expectations. The narrative is lacking polish, but inside it are some genuinely exciting and interesting moments. The gameplay is in a similar state, but when the combat is good it’s really good and offers a satisfying take on traditional turn-based combat. Keylocker hits the wrong note a few times, but boy is there a lot to like in its performance. »
« I want to like Keylocker more. The world is beautiful, the atmosphere of cyber-Saturn is great, and I have found parts of the story to be genuinely moving. However, those things just aren’t enough to make up for its grindy, repetitive and punishing combat, and ultimately, this is a hard one to recommend to anyone besides the most hardcore RPG players. »
« Despite plenty of style and cheek, Keylocker can’t get past the repetitive grind of its battles. »
