  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay combines elements of a twin-stick shooter and a rhythm game, requiring players to collect notes by aiming and pressing triggers. However, many users report severe performance issues on the Steam Deck, with frame rates often dropping below 30fps, which detracts from the experience. Additionally, the game's presentation has caused discomfort for some players, impacting their ability to enjoy the gameplay.

    • “Admittedly, the twin-stick controls were a bit tricky at first, but the gameplay itself felt reminiscent of early 00's rhythm games like Amplitude for PS2.”
    • “The gameplay is engaging and offers a unique blend of mechanics that keeps players on their toes, making each session feel fresh and exciting.”
    • “The core gameplay is a sort of hybrid of a twin-stick shooter and an inverse mai-mai, with notes coming in from the edge of the screen that you collect at the center of the screen by pointing an analog stick towards and pressing the trigger on the same side of the controller.”
    • “As a more objective complaint, though, the game's default gameplay presentation makes me horrifically ill, to the point that I'm running to the bathroom after a single chart.”
    • “I've been playing exclusively on a Steam Deck, and as the game's optimization stands, the deck can basically never hit 30fps in gameplay, with normal gameplay sitting at around 25fps with regular dips to the tens, even with turning down all the few visual options the game has, which is absolutely mind-boggling considering what the hardware is capable of.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is severely lacking, particularly on the Steam Deck, where players struggle to maintain even 30fps despite lowering visual settings. Users report frequent frame rate drops to the teens, leading to frustration and the need for extensive tweaking of engine configurations to achieve acceptable performance. There are hopes for future updates to improve optimization options.

    • “I've been playing exclusively on a Steam Deck, and as the game's optimization stands, the Deck can basically never hit 30fps in gameplay, with normal gameplay sitting at around 25fps with regular dips to the tens, even with turning down all the few visual options the game has, which is absolutely mind-boggling considering what the hardware is capable of.”
    • “I just hope there's some added options and performance optimization down the line.”
    • “Turning off all the visual options in the menu helps, but it doesn't quite get things under control thanks to the game's fatal flaw that exacerbates the whole situation: atrocious performance.”
    • “I've been playing exclusively on a Steam Deck, and as the game's optimization stands, the deck can basically never hit 30fps in gameplay, with normal gameplay sitting at around 25fps with regular dips to the tens, even with turning down all the few visual options the game has, which is absolutely mind-boggling considering what the hardware is capable of.”
    • “However, since framerate is an issue for me, I've been spending the last couple of hours messing with engine config settings trying to get stable performance without making the game look like garbage, and I think I've got something acceptable now.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its immersive quality, enhanced by an exceptional soundtrack that captivates players, making even challenging moments enjoyable.

    • “The music is so captivating, and the overall atmosphere really pulls you in, making even my inept moments enjoyable.”
    • “The immersive atmosphere creates a sense of wonder that keeps you engaged throughout the game.”
    • “Every detail contributes to a rich atmosphere that makes exploring the game world a truly enchanting experience.”
    • “The music is so damn good, but the overall atmosphere kind of sucks you in.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the replayability of the game, noting that starting with only two songs and unlocking additional tracks through the campaign mode encourages them to revisit the game for a more complete experience.

    • “Starting off with just 2 songs and unlocking the rest as you progress through the campaign mode definitely adds to the game's replay value.”
    • “The variety of choices and paths you can take in each playthrough keeps the experience fresh and engaging.”
    • “With multiple endings and different character builds, every playthrough feels unique and encourages you to dive back in.”
    • “The game feels repetitive after just a few playthroughs, lacking the depth needed for true replayability.”
    • “Once you've completed the main story, there's little incentive to return, making the replay value quite low.”
    • “The limited variety in gameplay mechanics means that replaying the game feels more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
