June 2024

Played this on the steam deck and the game runs super well mechanically. At first glance the concept appears verrry daunting to even fathom (3 screens of DDR/beatmania that you have to juggle between? Preposterous), but the game did an excellent job about teaching the player and guiding them to become better slowly through gradually rising difficulties While the crafting and gear system were simple and easy to understand, I did find the drop rates for items occasionally frustrating. But in this day and age with the advent of abysmal gacha drop rates, this is nothing (14% drop rate? practically free) The voice acting was wonderful and the writing was so early 2000's and I love it The art style, the music just adds to the whole, making this game feel refreshing to play even today amongst the myriad of other indie and even AAA titles The ending credits were a great touch For a game of this price and calibre, I whole-heartedly recommend this game

Got this hidden gem from a bundle long ago. This was the first game I played that combined rhythm gaming with RPG and they nailed it. The music is great, and the gameplay is fun. If you've never played a rhythm game this could be a good game to start with.

No idea of the state of the game these days. You have to remember, this game came out in 2011 and anyone expecting support for a game that got released that time ago and is not a 'live service' game. You're going to have a bad time. I just wanted to leave a review for this as I heard a song from the soundtrack recently and it made me want to track down the entire soundtrack as it was one of my most enjoyable base soundtracks in any rhythm game.

this game is going into my suicide note so good though, the mechanics are complex and interesting but can get very challenging and its not often rhythm games have interesting/unique stories, if any at all. also its way too good to be so cheap ! fyi dont pick the harder game levels youll lose your sanity

For the first time, I played a rhythm game for the story... and the music are great. Awesome work! :3 <3
