The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable and fitting the game's vibe, while others criticize it as lacking rhythm and being too slow for the gameplay. Many users express a desire for more diverse music options and the ability to add custom tracks, suggesting that the current selection does not fully align with the game's potential as a rhythm-based RPG. Overall, while the music contributes to the game's atmosphere, there is significant room for improvement and expansion.
“The game is really good and responsive, plus it has huge potential to become a 'different' type of rhythm game if the developers would make it into a real RPG musical fighting adventure with lots of enemies, weapons, and customization.”
“It already has a lot of songs and a bunch of stages, each with its own boss, environment, and special animations.”
“Played a few songs on beginner and standard so far, and it's a lot of fun with a really cool vibe.”
“The levels are pretty short, the music is pretty meh, some of the dodging is hard to guess.”
“They can improve the music types to something with more rhythm; most songs are like a slow fantasy video game type and I feel they don't go with the game.”
