Reviews
- The game features good, kinda cheesy metal songs that enhance the gameplay experience.
- Variable difficulties allow players to set a challenge level that suits them, making it accessible to a wider audience.
- The recent update brought many quality of life improvements, and the developers are actively engaging with the community on Discord.
- The game feels unoriginal and too similar to Beat Saber, which may lead to constant comparisons and hinder its popularity.
- The sound of the sword hitting enemies does not pair well with the music, detracting from the overall rhythm and gameplay satisfaction.
- Currently, there are only a few enemy designs and a limited number of songs, which may make the gameplay feel repetitive.

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the addition of new songs, while others feel the sound effects do not complement the music well. Although the current selection is limited to 4 or 5 tracks, there is potential for growth, especially with hopes for custom song support and the inclusion of popular rock tracks. Overall, the music enhances the experience, particularly in more engaging environments compared to the less inspiring dungeon setting.
“They added a few songs, which was a welcome addition.”
“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 music is fantastic; areas apart from the dungeon, which was just bland compared to the others, were really good.”
“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.”
