Sorry etterna, sorry osu!mania, but this is the best 4k rythm game i have played. I never touched the 7k here as i'm a 4k only player, but quaver just feels so good to play, it has all the good sides from osu!mania and etterna combined with nearly 0 negatives. The community is awesome too, sadly its damn unknown compared to its competitors
a better osu!mania in regards with rate mod, custom timing setting (like wife in etterna but isnt a pain to set up here) compativility with .osz and .sm files and a neat option to activate the note accuracy bar that tells you wheter the last note is hit late or soon (osu also has this, but its bar isnt dynamic and its harder to tell in a split second wheter it was late or soon) the ui and search function works well, but i do hope in the future skinning can let you edit all parts of the ui. 4k and 7k ranks are differentiated and thats great. a multiplayer system where you can play with different rates is also great allowing you to play with your friends that are way above (or below) in terms of your skill level. but, the difficulty calculator while still a bit better then osu it still got some flaws, ranked charts are a letdown but i see things getting better now.
lots of style, ...mediocre substance. quaver has some benefit on being on steam and being compatible with the file formats of its competing games (.sm and .osu), but it ultimately falls under obsolescence when it offers nothing new to the table. it's not innovative in any way besides having a pretty ui (COUGH) and its "way of doing things" as in its calculator and playfield customization etc just makes me want to go back to etterna.
i also want to note the rating distribution for this game on this website looks like a middle finger that is kind of funny
