The vibrant visual effects and unique enemy themes enhance the experience, but issues like crashes when using personal tracks and a desire for more content have been noted. Overall, the game appeals to rhythm game enthusiasts, provided the rhythm mechanics are improved.

“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.”
