yo does it actually run well on Switch? some ports get rough
- @Boombastic Apr 02
it’s solid, not 60fps like PC but stable. still looks great handheld
imagine dying not because u missed a shot but because u shot off beat, this game teaches pain and timing
game’s fun but brutal, if you don’t have rhythm you WILL get cooked. also it’s roguelike so yeah… git gud required

facts, first boss humbled me quick, but when you win? feels EARNED
this game is chaos in the best way, took me a sec to get the rhythm down but once it clicks… chef’s kiss. the soundtrack alone is worth the price ngl
boss fights are 🔥
each one feels like a metal album cover come to life plus roguelike layout means no run is the same
real talk this game made me get better at rhythm. not even kidding, now I tap along to everything I do irl like I’m still in-game

bro I tried to reload off-beat and got wrecked, never felt more judged by a game
can you play without rhythm? like just a regular shooter?
nah you gotta stick to the beat, but there’s a visual bar that helps. once you’re in the groove, it’s actually super addicting
