The music in the game is characterized by a high-energy EDM and dance soundtrack that enhances the fun and intensity of gameplay, making it a standout feature for many players. While some reviews praise the catchy and addictive nature of the music, others feel it cannot fully compensate for the game's shortcomings in visuals and controls. Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the game's atmosphere, though opinions vary on its ability to elevate the overall experience.

“An awesome EDM soundtrack, loads of unlockables, and game modes make for a fun premise and gameplay.”
“Oddly addictive gameplay, insane soundtrack, and neon-drenched fun with friends.”
“The bright, flashing lights - and admittedly catchy thumping club music - coupled with an eye-watering amount of modes and game/bot customization isn’t quite enough to dress up what essentially feels like a promising idea that’s vastly undercooked.”
“The music is poor and repetitive, failing to create an engaging atmosphere.”
“While the dance soundtrack has its moments, it quickly becomes monotonous and uninspiring.”

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Get Down! — Disco Dodgeball Remix Review
Overall I loved Disco Dodgeball Remix. This wacky FPS dodge ball game keeps the fun coming with various game modes, high intensity music, and extremely entertaining gameplay. Although the art style looks a bit childish, it works for this game. Disco Dodgeball is a great game, and if you pre-purchase the game in the Nintendo eshop you can get the game for 20% off!

An odd combination of automatons and a reflexive sport turns out to make for a pretty fun and addictive experience, overall. Disco Dodgeball Remix on Nintendo Switch doesn't quite have the player count necessary for a truly chaotic time online, but more than makes up for it with competent AI foes, a boundless list of modes and parameters to choose from, and sufficient offline options to enjoy.
