The music in the game is widely praised for its amazing soundtrack, featuring a diverse selection of indie bands that many players found enjoyable, even if they were initially unfamiliar with the artists. However, some players expressed frustration with the game's mechanics, noting issues with syncing the beat and controls that detracted from the overall experience. While the soundtrack is a highlight, the execution of the rhythm-based gameplay has left some players disappointed.
“The music is amazing!!!”
“I didn't know many of the bands when I started, but I really enjoyed the soundtrack.”
“The soundtrack is superb, but the game is just badly put together.”
“Until then, I cannot recommend this game unless you’re in it purely for the music.”
“Default controls of the mouse are pretty mediocre, and after having figured out the controls on my controller, I still couldn't keep the beat, as the game itself would stutter the onscreen action out of sync with the music, leaving me completely unable to match the beat.”
“For a music game, that's fairly unacceptable.”
The indie kid's rhythm game: LOUD on Planet X review
LOUD on Planet X truly is the indie kid’s rhythm game. While the way it decides the beat of each song can be frustrating at the start, the incredible music catalog aims to keep you coming back.

Loud on Planet X has some great bands and an interesting gameplay style, but the power-ups fall flat and the game becomes stale after a bit.
65%LOUD on Planet X Review
Coming from the mind of a Sound Shapes developer, you can really see the influences in LOUD on Planet X; the quirky, minimalist style, the simplicity of its gameplay, and the excellent soundtrack all echo its spiritual predecessor. Yet Pop Sandbox's console debut does plenty to distance itself from its competitors, and its blend of beats and battles makes it a must for any rhythm game fan and a good place to start for those who aren't. Simply put, this'll strike a chord with anyone.
