“Incredible rhythm game. Just tap on the seventh beat. You just need one button to play. You get audio cues for the first 6 beats, and you just need to press on the 7th beat. Easy. Well, until the game tells you to work…”
“This game really surprised me. I bought it for my partner as part of a rhythm game pack, neither of us thinking much of it, but he soon urged me to try the game myself after playing it. I myself have awful rhythm. I…”
“the game in itself is good, fantastic music and art style, the rhythm aspect is great and challenging at times sadly i cannot deal with all the dialogue. personally, i don't think rhythm games need lore and a huge…”

“An incredible game. Good charting, creative visuals, and a heartfelt story. It really is something special.”
“GOTY 2026. Who the hell put beautiful narrative in my rhythm game? Also, and I am 100% burying the lede here, this game does things I didn't even think were possible, let alone toppable level after level.”

“I think the game means well, but I honestly had a miserable time playing. I finished 4 acts and then finally gave up before what I think the fifth "boss" would have been, I guess about 85%-ish through the main content.…”

“Fun and easy to get into, the difficulty curve is just right for me too.”
“Legendary game. 10/10 content, visuals, creativity, soundtrack, gameplay (with only one button!), and story. Would recommend to anyone thinking about buying this. It can be challenging, but it is so much fun.”

“I pushed through the end of the game 'till the very final stage, but honestly - I'm fed up by getting this anti-climax for failing every single time. It's upsetting, and it's not something that will happen once, or…”
“Good game. Unfortunately im too garbage to beat early levels”
“Sometimes too hard and feels like audio/visual cues get in the way. Still an incredible visual spectacle and pushes the boundaries of videogames as a medium.”
