Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I love rhythm games but this one misses the mark - the combat mechanics ruin all the fun. I tried the demo for the second version and I still don't like it. Try the demo first before buying to see if you're into the combat mechanics - OST…”
