Story With the invention of Amp Theaters, vibration and air have been tapped as an energy source, providing humanity with near limitless resources. Unfortunately, Amp Theaters also created an unexpected side-effect in the population, influencing the moods and the health of the humans they provide for. Thus, they have become the most precious and protected structures in the world, as any imbalance in their vibrations greatly impacts the inhabitants surrounding them. Now, however, a secret society known as MIRZA has unearthed the chaos score Opus #9. Using its ability to alter vibrations and energize sound, it has cursed musicians across the world with the power to destroy with music. The Amp Theaters are now threatened and the cursed musicians--known as The Noteless—are considered criminals, hunted and killed by global authorities. Noteless bands have formed in response and a war on sound has begun. With all nations on the edge of collapse and Noteless on the rise, humanity has entered the Era of the Great Sonic Plague. You assume the role of a young guitarist cursed by the Opus #9, yet aware of the plot that’s been set into action. You must free yourself and the others from its grasp by traveling to Amp Theaters around the globe and tuning their vibrations with your music. Along the way you must team up with other musicians and finally amass a supernatural band capable of confronting MIRZA and destroying the Opus #9 for good. Amp Theaters

Sample Gameplay After being chased by Mutes, you’ve just reached the Amp Theater floating above the coral metropolis of Coric only to find yourself ambushed by a rival band—The Lost Numbers—who seek revenge for a defeat you delivered to them way back. With the Mutes hot on your tail, you don’t have time to dally so you try to avoid the fight by offering to give up a supportive band member, but it’s no dice. The Lost Numbers’ leader casts a Jam Impact Zone around your party and they begin their assault. A whirlwind of giant spiked thorns and rose leaves sweeps through your group as the Lost Numbers open the fight with an operatic music attack marked by a Duet of Violin and Vocal attacks. You use your Percussionist to perform a defensive Sonic Shamble Smash and dampen the attack but you have taken damage. You do not have the Noteless leads in your group who can play well against Operatic attacks so you switch out your drummer and cymbal percussionist for your powerful Piano and Cello Leads. Their are 5 support musicians with them and without hesitation you perform a preset Ensemble Combo that rocks the ground below the Lost Number’s feet with thunder and lightning bolts followed by torrents of black rain. This attack dizzies two leads in the Lost Number’s band and allows you to change the dynamic of the fight. The music genre changes from an Operatic to a Jazz style with you setting the pace.

Sample Gameplay With the advantage now yours, you push the fight more towards a jazz genre by switching out your Vocalist and Cello musician for a Trumpet and Bass Player. Their attacks are not that strong and they have few support musicians, but Jazz works best against Operatic attacks. You use your trumpet player to perform a Solo Attack that is aimed at and overpowers the two vocalist in the Lost Number group. Just as you are close to finishing them off however, the crafty lead vocalist unexpectedly calls in her 20 support musicians—A Flying Angel Choir—and performs a devastating fire shower move that takes most of your band down, but has the double edge of killing off two of the Lost Number’s own vocalist. Getting desperate you change out your fallen Trumpeter and Cello Noteless in exchange for two additional Guitar leads. Gambling with the last bit of your energy you use your fusion technique to combine all the guitars. You then scramble to perform the strongest move in your arsenal on the lead Vocalist—The Flying Guitar Ensemble Rush Combo. As the smoke clears you stand rag tagged, but triumphant. Just as you think it’s all over however, the air clears to reveal a company of Mutes who have you surrounded on all sides…
