In my search for more unique rhythm games after Hi-Fi Rush to broaden my horizons cause i'm not typically a rhythm game guy and this shit caught my eye after hearing 5 seconds of the legendary theme.
Now i'm gonna keep it a buck this game is insane on the balancing like i'm not great at rhythm games but this game had insane difficulty spikes specifically once you get to the mech level.
However this game does make improvements from the ps2 version with letting you pause to heal your carpal tunnel syndrome and the rail guide thing has an indicator on how close you are to the center this all makes this game a bit easier for me without making it feel like a bahbee mode. The gameplay is really satisfying but it can be overwhelming with the button sections to the point where I felt like just pressing all buttons worked better than genuinely learning. Still a huge fan of the core concept but some specific stages i was bent over man.
I'm saying all this to tell you the rest of the game fucking rocks dude the simplistic childrens book-esque designs, paired with a story on the simpler side message-wise but packed full of character and cute moments, its a great pair it's something I already wanna revisit.
The music specifically man some tracks are fucking killer, my favorite song hands down is The Legendary Theme, perfect for U-1's whole character arc and the riff is so fucking beautiful, but that's not to diminish the rest this ost has RANGE. It can go from insanely funky to the coolest guitar riffs, there's some forgettable tracks no doubt but the highs are super high it's that noteworthy.
This game has so much charm and personality it felt like a children's book in a good way despite it's rough edges it kept me hooked no matter how hard it got. Not for everybody but was a great experience for me.
