The game allows players to use their own music library, generating custom beat maps, which can lead to a mix of enjoyable and mismatched experiences depending on the song. While the ability to play personal tracks is a highlight, issues such as syncing problems, multiplayer file-sharing delays, and basic visuals detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, many players appreciate the fun and immersion offered by the VR environment, making it a solid choice for music game enthusiasts.
“The game can play pretty much every song in my music library and I can even play them with friends who don't own those songs themselves.”
“Vr opens up so many more possibilities for immersion and music.”
“The fun in these games for me comes from being able to put my own music tastes into the game.”
“However, if you play a song from your own music library in multiplayer, you will have to wait for them to download the file from you every time you want to play it, even if they do own it and have their own copy.”
“It's a bland Rock Band drummer simulator; the drums are not always synced up with the music, the backgrounds are quite boring, and the delivery method for hitting the drums isn't as good as it could be.”
“I found that on the three choices of my music, the drum beats and required hits were not really in sync, and I would have achieved a much better score if I turned the volume right down, which would ruin the gameplay though.”

The graphics in the game are generally described as basic and not particularly flashy, which some players find disappointing. However, many agree that the visuals become less significant once engaged in gameplay, and the overall playability and mechanics are praised as strong points. While there is room for improvement, the graphics are deemed acceptable for casual players, especially given the game's engaging rhythm-based concept.
“Great VR rhythm game, with good graphics and feedback.”
“Graphics are fine - I'm using a 1080 [email protected] but I'm guessing lesser GPUs won't have a problem.”
“A fun music game with great graphics and playability.”
“The game concept itself is quite simple as you hit the 10 drumfaces as they light up and sure, no breathtakingly fancy graphics.”
“Yes, its graphics are pretty simple, nothing flashy, and a bit hard to start, but I would treat this game as the VOS (if anyone knows what that means to the music game genre) for VR MG.”
“For casual players, I would suggest trying to ignore the rough graphics as the system mechanics of this game are the best on the market for this genre so far.”
