Be still, my beating heart
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version
I've had this one on my wishlist for a while, but was waiting for a sale. I happened to check the eShop the other night and saw that it was down to like $20. Sold!
Mannn, I really dig it! I'm super picky about rhythm games, especially with how amazingly well-done the two Theatrhythm games are. This is obviously not the same sort of game, but it's not trying to do anything crazy that just doesn't work for a rhythm game like so many of them do.
There are nearly 80 DLC packs, which is dangerous for me. I snagged a few, including the handful of free ones. I was scrolling through and came across Cruel Angel Thesis and went "Say whaaaaaat!!!!" Also, there's one Tales song, from TotAbyss, so that was a nice surprise. The song selection in general is pretty varied, so I'm happy with it.
I was feeling a bit frustrated at first because I knew that I was hitting notes exactly, but was getting OKs instead of GOODs a lot with the "kat" notes. Unless I missed it in the tutorial, I didn't realize that the "kat" notes were supposed to be hit when the note …

Unless I missed it in the tutorial, I didn't realize that the "kat" notes were supposed to be hit when the note touched the rim of the marker, and not the center like the "don" notes. I was doing the right motion/motion + L, but not hitting it on the rim.
I figured a few days of play was enough to review a game like this. Definitely happy that I snagged it!
Finally got this at the current 60% off digital sale ($19.99 USD) plus a little DLC of my choice and it’s definitely worth it so far.
Bad side: Joycon drumming controls in this game are sooo close to working, and actually pretty fun too, but just too unreliable to get through even one song and still feel like the game is “fair”due to frequent delayed and dropped hits, and finicky distinction between vertical and diagonal motion. Button controls are less exciting, but I immediately got twice as “good” at the game. Gonna have to look out for the actual drum controller, but in the meantime I might give touchscreen controls a shot.
I find it really funny that there’s a Japanese version of ”How Far I’ll Go” from Moana in the “anime” category.
