The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its catchy, video game-inspired tracks and the effective pairing of charts with the music, enhancing the overall rhythm experience. However, some players criticize the limited song selection and the lack of challenging tracks, feeling that many songs do not sync well with the gameplay, leading to a disconnection from the rhythm. Overall, while the game offers a decent variety of songs and charts, it may not satisfy those seeking a more complex or diverse musical experience.
“Furthermore, the charts are nice and vibe well with the music, and most of the songs are good too.”
“I really enjoy how the music fits with the maps, and the difficulty level is really consistent, which is difficult to come across in something like Stepmania.”
“The music is very video gamey, featuring a lot of dance tracks that sound like they were inspired by NES game style music, which is fine by me.”
“The songs are obviously a subjective matter, but there are far too many weird chiptune and ear-piercing electronic themes for my taste (the trailer should give you an idea of what to expect).”
“Not to mention, the notes themselves often feel like they 'play' a song of their own, as regardless of the difficulty setting I simply cannot 'feel the rhythm' to get into a given song.”
“It feels as if I'm just pressing random arrows as the music plays in the background.”
