- @Coyoteyesterday
yo does it actually run well on Switch? some ports get rough
- @Boombasticyesterday
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
- @ClaireFisheryesterday
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
boss fights are 🔥
