To put it bluntly, the game is awesome. It's 3 lanes and on-beat focused gameplay differ it from other games in its genre. Given the simplistic approach, they had the idea to make it so there are different types of monsters which each have their own quirks instead of "1 monster = 1 note = 1 tap" approach. And it works phenomenally. The game does come with a story mode, which is serviceable at best, but it's more of a way to introduce the player to the world and the mechanics. Each track in order is curated to gradually introduce you to the concepts of the game and different monsters you can encounter them. If still feeling overwhelmed, it is possible to choose one of the lower difficulties amongst the offered four (EASY, MEDIUM, HARD, IMPOSSIBLE). Each difficulty offering different levels of challenges one can find by playing the same track. As you get better at the game, you will start aiming for the higher difficulties, maybe even challenging yourself to clear the tracks without breaking your combo, and maybe just even play the tracks with one of the two modifiers: [*]Remix Mode allows you to play the same track but with different, randomized monster layout. [*]Coda Mode where only perfects counts and single mistake is fatal. Alongside the track you will most likely spend the majority of the time on, the game offers also Rhythm-Heaven-like mini-games and boss battles which you can encounter in the story mode, and additional Shopkeeper challenges where the goal is to play parts of the now familiar tracks with special modifiers (all enemies are question marks, only perfects counts, you cannot see last 2 rows, etc.) And, to top it all off, the game offers the ability to create and play custom tracks via the Steam Workshop. The quality of things you can find in the Workshop varies, of course, you should be able to find more than plenty of stuff to play (especially if you're into anime and J-Pop). In the end, why not try creating your own tracks? DLCs, however, are a different story and I do not recommend them unless you want to support the developers. Vastly overpriced compared to the base game, and the quality of the DLC tracks matches those you can easily find in the Workshop (which is free, by the way). All in all, an amazing game worth playing.

Been a massive fan of rhythm games for a while, however i always stop playing them after a week or two. This however, i don't think i will stop playing anytime soon. Really unique concept for a rhythm game and i love it so much, community charts are SO good can the devs remove zombies though :D

Do not play the tutorial. Just go straight into the campaign, make mistakes, get horrible gradings, and learn from them. The tutorial is going to make you want to exit. Each button you press will make you want to refund the game. It’ll be so boring that not only you’ll be ashamed of yourself for buying the game, you’ll also be disappointed in the current trajectory of the gaming industry. If you are suffering from depression or something like that, get your pills ready and, ideally, make an appointment with your doctor in advance. When you embark on the campaign, however, your mind brightens up. The music, the overall positive vibe, and that cheerful energy of the game will make you elated. I started dancing in the first mission — you know those dances you do with just your shoulders and chest because you are sitting? I was immersed without even realizing when and how. I lost track of time. I did not even mind how hard I was pressing, or should I say hitting, my keys. I guess I could say that a certain portion of sanity was knocked out once I started dancing and hollering. hahahaha 😆 Mini games between chapters were so cute and fun. My personal favorite was the yoga one. I wish there were just more yoga mini games instead of others. Cooking was just okay level, and tv studio gig one was just the least fun. The good thing is, once you clear a mission, or the campaign, you can skip the ones you don’t like from next time. You can even play the ones you like the most over and over. The game runs in a ‘select each stage’ system.

This game has become my go to "I need my brain to think about something else" game. The community is expansive, and the custom tracks are great. The in game tracks are also very fun to play. Maybe my favourite rhythm game.
