Pourquoi cette note ?
Les ressources de peinture et le combat de position ont une valeur stratégique distincte, mais le déplacement aléatoire et le verrouillage des ressources créent des frictions avec une planification précise.

Synthèse des discussions
Texte original · AnglaisA turn-based tactical roguelike set in a Hieronymus Bosch-inspired Purgatory, where you recruit a party of grotesque 'fools' and fight using a colour-coded pigment resource, made by Talia bob Mair and Nicolas Delgado and published by Hellbent Games.
Texte original · AnglaisBrutal Orchestra is a cult favourite with an Overwhelmingly Positive Steam rating (about 97.6% of roughly 2,100 reviews) and very long playtimes among its fans, some in the hundreds of hours. Players praise its distinctive art, music, dark humour, story and a pigment-based combat system that rewards planning. Critic coverage is thin: Metacritic has a page with no critic score yet and only a handful of user ratings (9.1 from 7), and OpenCritic shows nothing I could find. It is a full 1.0 release (Dec 2021), not early access, and Steam reviews say the developers were still adding free content years later, with an active Workshop mod scene. The main complaints are heavy RNG, pigment lockouts, weak-feeling items and characters, and a steep, unclear learning curve. Web search was unavailable for this run, so coverage of outlet reviews and Reddit is limited to Steam reviews, Metacritic and wiki pages.
Ce que les joueurs apprécient
- Texte original · AnglaisStriking, grotesque art direction drawn from Hieronymus Bosch, with unusual enemy and companion designs
- Texte original · AnglaisMusic and atmosphere: reviewers repeatedly call the soundtrack and per-enemy battle themes a highlight
- Texte original · AnglaisPigment system: damaging enemies yields pigment matching their health-bar colour, which you spend on abilities, creating a dynamic puzzle of who to hit and in what order
- Texte original · AnglaisPositioning and enemy mechanics give turn-based fights a tactical, puzzle-like feel; many say each enemy and boss has its own mechanics
- Texte original · AnglaisDark, bittersweet humour and a personal-feeling story; several reviewers call the narrative moving
- Texte original · AnglaisThe full game opens up after the first winning run, with extra enemies, bosses, companions, difficulty and story that pull players to keep playing
- Texte original · AnglaisLarge unlock pool (items, fools, achievements) that encourages replay without feeling like a chore, according to some reviewers
- Texte original · AnglaisActive Steam Workshop modding scene (40+ mods catalogued on the community wiki, including character, enemy and item packs) extends playtime for veterans
Ce que les joueurs critiquent
- Texte original · AnglaisHeavy RNG: random starting party members, coin-flip movement shifts on hit or attack, a roughly 40% chance for extra pigment, and random instant-kill moves on some enemies
- Texte original · AnglaisPigment lockouts: if enemies do not supply the colour your party needs, you can be stuck with bad or forced abilities, or overflow pigment and take damage
- Texte original · AnglaisCharacters have very few moves (two or three, sometimes randomly assigned) and one item slot, so builds feel limited and upgrades feel small
- Texte original · AnglaisMany items, especially before unlocks, are described as weak or useless, and some party members as nearly dead weight
- Texte original · AnglaisOnly three zones and a limited enemy pool, so the same content repeats quickly (a Metacritic user notes seeing every enemy and boss by about the fifth run)
- Texte original · AnglaisMany enemy abilities and status effects are hard to keep track of; some players resort to guides or other players to learn the rules
- Texte original · AnglaisSome find the UX poor, and one Steam reviewer notes the tutorial could not be saved mid-way and lacks Steam Cloud saves
Caractéristiques distinctives
- Texte original · AnglaisPigment economy where hits generate colour you then spend on abilities, tying positioning, targeting and ability choice together
- Texte original · AnglaisBosch-inspired Purgatory setting with grotesque, humorous characters and a story that unlocks more fully after the first winning run
- Texte original · AnglaisParty of oddball companions ('fools') with very few but distinctive abilities, instead of a large skill tree
- Texte original · AnglaisBoss and enemy fights with bespoke mechanics and theme songs, described as puzzle-like
- Texte original · AnglaisStrong mod support through Steam Workshop and a dedicated modding API and wiki
Points qui divisent
- Texte original · AnglaisRNG: critics call it excessive and unfair while other reviewers argue the complaint is overstated and that knowledge and planning dominate outcomes
- Texte original · AnglaisPigment mechanic: loved by many as the heart of the game, called annoying or agency-removing by others
- Texte original · AnglaisWhether it is truly a roguelike: one reviewer argues it is not a roguelike at all, and another says it should not have been one, while many others name it a favourite of the genre
- Texte original · AnglaisStory after the first win: praised by some, but one reviewer felt it fades after the first successful run on each difficulty
Répétition et contraintes
- Texte original · AnglaisCombat can be slow and methodical because losing HP is costly, so players feel they must be careful in every encounter
- Texte original · AnglaisBeing 'pigment-screwed' (missing or overflowing colours) is compared by reviewers to mana screw in Magic, which makes some fights feel low-agency
- Texte original · AnglaisHard-mode bosses are criticized as unforgiving, with healing transformations, repeated spawns and one-shot moves that can drag fights out (one review cites about 25 minutes on a single boss)
- Texte original · AnglaisNeeding to read and memorise many enemy abilities and passives before each fight overwhelms impatient players
- Texte original · AnglaisRepeated runs through the same three zones feel repetitive to some, with less novelty after the first clear
Améliorations espérées
- Texte original · AnglaisReduce or give players more control over RNG (party selection, random skill assignment, coin-flip movement)
- Texte original · AnglaisGive characters more moves and more meaningful equipment or build customization so pigment restrictions feel less punishing
- Texte original · AnglaisMore zones, routes and variety, with some fans explicitly asking for a larger sequel with more than three routes
- Texte original · AnglaisAdd Steam Cloud saves (the store page lists none) and let the tutorial be saved or resumed mid-way
- Texte original · AnglaisMake normal fights less trivial on hard mode and strengthen meta-progression, since some players feel their team does not grow across runs
- Texte original · AnglaisClearer onboarding and in-game explanation of statuses and enemy abilities, since many reviewers say it is confusing until it clicks
Texte original · AnglaisReleased on Steam on Dec 17, 2021 (Windows and Linux, no Mac or console versions listed) at $19.99, and it has remained at Overwhelmingly Positive. Metacritic lists only 7 user ratings and no critic reviews, so critic coverage is essentially absent and the game's profile is built by word of mouth and Steam reviews. Steam reviewers say the developers were still adding free content about five years after release, and the Workshop mod scene (with a legacy-version beta branch for older mods) is a major reason veterans keep playing. Some players say it is popular with deep-playtime fans but a love-or-hate game, pointing to a low achievement-completion rate for the tutorial. Note: web search was unavailable (session budget exhausted), so no outlet reviews or Reddit threads were read.

Texte original · AnglaisTier list Part 5 (2026)
Texte original · AnglaisBrutal Orchestra is a turn-based, positioning-focused tragedy game where a dead protagonist travels through a weird in-between realm with a party of misfits. He loves its disturbing, distinct vibe, art, music and highly unique colored-pigment combat, and he played through to the true final boss. His main complaints are that the roguelike layer is minor, abilities and items barely change between runs, and unlocks come too slowly. He places it in low A tier.
Ce que le créateur apprécie
- Texte original · AnglaisExtremely distinct art style, music and disturbing overall vibe
- Texte original · AnglaisVery unique gameplay built on colored pigment mana and overflow damage
- Texte original · AnglaisStrong emphasis on positioning for both attacks and evading, with depth despite simple abilities
- Texte original · AnglaisGreat character variety, with characters that play drastically differently
- Texte original · AnglaisNew enemies, biomes and bosses with fresh mechanics keep appearing and are a blast
- Texte original · AnglaisDark, insulting story and plenty of content
Problèmes relevés par le créateur
- Texte original · AnglaisRoguelike elements are quite minor, so runs get repetitive
- Texte original · AnglaisCharacter abilities are fixed per run and can be upgraded but not changed; items are limited (about one per character) and often uninteresting
- Texte original · AnglaisProtagonist must always be on the team, limiting team freedom
- Texte original · AnglaisUnlocks of new characters and side quests come too late; meta-progression pacing is slow
- Texte original · AnglaisRandom enemy attack directions feel out of place in a planning-heavy game
- Texte original · AnglaisFew rewards beyond limited money; full party conflicts with keeping open space to evade
Observations sur la conception
- Texte original · AnglaisPigment/mana system where overflow causes damage, with very few comparable mechanics elsewhere
- Texte original · AnglaisTension between a full team and open tiles for dodging forces a meaningful choice
- Texte original · AnglaisEnemy attacks telegraph direction so encounters can be planned like a puzzle
