Rogue Rhythm

A game that by the end of it gets so difficult, I'm not sure if anyone can be "good" at the final boss. To start off, this is less of a rhythm game than it might seem at first. There is definitely a strong rhythm component as all battles are to the beat that changes depending on the music, which depends on the enemy; however there is a lot of randomness to which button you need to press at any given time, meaning that even if there are charts present they're not really learnable in the traditional sense. This does turn up the difficulty, as every battle is essentially a sightread, and the further you go in the less time you have to react to the notes. In short, it's more of a reflex game set to the rhythm. And it looks great. Now the way you interact with battles is via a dungeon crawling wrap where you try and find the exit as you stumble into new enemies, which give you new loot to change up your loadout.

Very satisfying game, No skillbased matchmaking, not alot of sweats 10/10

For a non-rhythm game player, this game feels very welcoming. It starts slowly, giving you time to learn how to play and the mechanics. Then every floor it speeds up gradually, allowing you to adjust and improve with each battle. Later it gets hard just like every other rhythm game, but it adds a lot of interesting mechanics like "shaking" notes that appear "shaky" so you need to hit them purely based on the music. Art and music are on point, unique for each theme. Very nice game for a reasonable price.

Really cannot recommend, liked the game until the boss battles. Not really a fan of the buttons switching up their layout every seconds. Cool concept, not really fun execution.
