The music in the game is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the energetic tracks and the ability to upload their own music, while others criticize the lack of synchronization between the audio and gameplay, making it difficult to play effectively. The vibrant visual effects and unique enemy themes enhance the experience, but issues like crashes and incomplete tracks detract from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the game has potential for music lovers, but it needs improvements in calibration and additional content to fully realize its promise.
- “In this game, you are greeted by cool music that falls under the blows of a character, which is very cool. It is also logical that there are different levels of difficulty, which cannot but rejoice.”
- “I also liked the visual effects; they are very colorful here, and each enemy has its own music, which is nice to fight with a beat.”
- “Overall, Terrorhythm has a lot going for it, and as long as they keep the beat and stay on their track, this game will definitely be music to your ears.”
- “Instead of a metronome style test with a simple click or beep, it just puts some music and a visual cue, neither of which are even close to matching.”
- “The songs are very Beat Saber-ish, but the game is aesthetic and has some nice mechanics like weapons. However, a rhythm game you cannot calibrate properly becomes literally unplayable.”
- “I also experience crashes when I try to use my own music.”
