The music in the game has received positive feedback, with players appreciating the addition of a few new songs, particularly in the rock genre. However, some feel that the sound effects, such as the sword hitting enemies, do not complement the music well, and the limited selection of only 4-5 songs may hinder its appeal compared to similar games like Beat Saber. There is anticipation for future updates, including custom song support, which could enhance the overall experience.
- “The music is fantastic; areas apart from the dungeon, which was just bland compared to the others, were really good.”
- “If you really enjoy Beat Saber, rock-style music, and want to have new surroundings, this game would probably be right up your alley, although right now there are only 4 or 5 songs.”
- “The sound of the sword hitting the enemies does not really pair well with the music, and there are currently only a couple of different enemy designs present in the game. When I am playing a similar game like Beat Saber, there is something satisfying about the sound of hitting a block that adds to the rhythm and gameplay.”
- “While this game is going to have the popularity of Beat Saber hold it back, I believe if this continues to be improved upon, it could get a large following, especially if the team behind it could get a popular rock song licensed that is not available on Beat Saber (without mods).”
- “Can't wait for the custom song support when we can hopefully add some thrash and death metal to it.”
