  • The game features enjoyable music, particularly for fans of the Gunvolt series.
  • The analog stick swing motions are intuitive and add a unique gameplay element.
  • Despite its simplicity, the game can be fun and serves as a good time killer for rhythm game enthusiasts.
  • The game has a low song count and lacks some popular tracks from the series, making it feel incomplete.
  • The control scheme is poorly designed, with multiple lanes assigned to single buttons, leading to confusion and frustration.
  • Visual quality is subpar, with low-resolution character models and animations that detract from the overall experience.
  • music
    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, primarily due to the limited song count of 15 tracks, with some notable favorites from the series missing and additional content locked behind upcoming DLCs. While the existing songs are generally well-received and enjoyable, players express disappointment over the lack of variety and the simplistic nature of the rhythm gameplay, which can lead to a quick completion and diminished replay value. Overall, fans of the Gunvolt series may appreciate the music, but the current offering feels barebones and leaves room for improvement with future updates.

    • “Pros: 3 idols from the Gunvolt series, Lumen, Lola, and Luxia, singing and dancing to some songs within the Gunvolt/IX series.”
    • “It's a simple rhythm title that isn't long to clear through all 15 songs on the first round, but I would recommend getting the full package once the other DLCs land and enjoy a more fuller game.”
    • “All things considered, this is a relatively barebones rhythm game, but I'm a huge fan of Gunvolt and its music, so I'm happy with how this turned out.”
    • “The number of songs is a little low, and they blatantly skipped out on some of the more memorable songs so they can sell DLC later, but it's also quite cheap so it's forgivable.”
    • “It's possible to get 100% achievements in roughly an hour, and three of them amount to 'fail a song sung by a specific character.' The scoring feels overly generous and there's little incentive to continue playing or practicing once you've heard every song once.”
    • “Nevermind that there is a limited amount of songs in this game, even other stuff is just meh.”

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as overly simplistic, with standard rhythm mechanics that include pressing, holding, and swiping notes across two lanes. While the initial experience may seem engaging, the overall execution is considered disappointing, especially given the low track list and the anthem mechanic that reduces difficulty by allowing players to continue after failing. Despite these criticisms, the music quality is noted as good, and the mechanics are implemented effectively.

    • “Gameplay at first is kinda cool; you have 2 lanes split into 2 each, with normal notes that you press, notes that you hold, notes that you swipe your gamepad sticks, and notes that you kind of guide with your sticks.”
    • “Not a big track list, but it's still good music, and the rhythm game mechanics are solid too.”
    • “The mechanics are standard and are implemented well.”
    • “Gameplay is too simple.”
    • “I feel like for 15 euros, I could just go on mobile and play something like Bang Dream, or pursue any other rhythm game. Even for someone who knows nothing of this franchise and whose first experience with rhythm is GTA: San Andreas, this is not only disappointing visually, but in gameplay as well.”
    • “What's more, the anthem mechanic—a cute callback to the Gunvolt series thematically—trivializes difficulty by allowing you to continue any song in the event of a fail.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the game lacks a significant story, with multiple users noting the absence of a narrative.

    • “There is no story to speak of.”
    • “The game lacks any meaningful narrative.”
    • “I found the story completely absent.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with some players praising the vibrant art style and detailed environments, while others criticize the character models and animations for lacking polish. Overall, the visual presentation is seen as a strong point for some, but a drawback for others, depending on personal preferences.
