rhythm games

[serenefork]

I'm generally not very skilled at most rhythm games... 

I've have Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix+ (the PC version) which I really enjoy, but it is very difficult for me to play because of how my laptop keyboard is set up.    I've played Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum n' Fun! on the Switch before, I've had moderate success with that, but I've only played it with my friend who owns a copy. 

The rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX has been the most proficient I've ever been playing a rhythm game! It's 3DS game and so it involves tapping the screen in a way that is much more intuitive to me. (Every other game I've played only with button controls...)

I am the local idol rhythm game goblin (as I type I am surrounded by merch and figures from various idol games) so I feel I must weigh in!! I've played so. many. But my favs rn are Project Sekai and IM@S Starlight Stage! I post SO much about Enstars on my accounts, but as far as rhythm gaming goes... It's a lot better for cute boys than rhythm gameplay, it's kinda mid in that regard ;v; Proseka is best for rhythm games!! It feels so solid, I think that might be the good graphics, layout with the keys along the bottom, and comfortable timings! IM@S is unforgiving, and Enstars is too easy most the time. I actually did a dive into idol games a while back wondering what the best was and trying to give each a fair chance, and out of the contenders Proseka won. D4DJ was also up there, though! I had to delete it for storage on my phone, but it's my top choice for anyone who wants a fair, balanced challenge of a rhythm game! The various mechanics made it really unique but still fun! If you've played Sound Voltex it's much like that, but in touch screen form.

I've been playing Rhythm Heaven Megamix a lot lately: it's insane how much content that game has (if you count mostly replaying all songs for slightly different goals as content )

After you get Superb in all minigames, you get to try for Perfect in rapid-fire instead of waiting for one to become available so I've just been grabbing my 3DS and whacking away at those in 30 minute sessions.

Over at my local arcade, we have this rhythm game called Pump it Up. ... The version we have (Fiesta 2) is much older than the current one

Does that mean you have Don't Bother Me on the song list?  Pump it Up is great and I definitely prefer it to Dance Dance Revolution because the diagonal arrows feel more intuitive to me. Last week I found out there's a full mode on my local machine and I'm really looking forward to playing more double charts lol

I love Sound Voltex! And Dance Dance Revolution, though I stopped playing at arcades in 2020 so all I really play is In The Groove at home now.

[cuplike]

i dont have a problem you have a problem


besides those, ive played bandori before, and nowadays i ocassionaly play a bit of proseka. i also have a 9 year old osu! account, im still not good at osu... and gosh am i old

[estvs]

yay, i found a rhythm game post!

ive been playing them for a long time ive always enjoyed them but they entered special interest territory shortly after i discovered notITG as a kid and kept discovering more to play..

ive been (somewhat poorly) keeping track of all the ones ive played and im at 130+ as of writing!!

a handful of some personal favorites are: chunithm, sound voltex, project diva, muse dash, love live sif (rip), and music diver (i havent been able to play much but the times ive had i had a hard time walking away..)

i have really loved basically every arcade exclusive one ive played but unfortunately i dont have any arcades near me that have rhythm games (very scarce supply across my entire state actually) 

for chunithm and sound voltex i have my own controllers so im able to play those arcade ones at home ^_^

rhythm games resonate with My Soul in a very special and specific way that i rarely feel from anything else.. they are extremely dear to me!!
and i also love when new people play them so.. this is your sign to try any out!!!! 

if anybody is looking for newer ones to check out, i really loved unbeatable!! i felt like a changed person after playing through the story and the rhythm games are fantastic! ive had my eye on it for many years at this point and im very happy its out now!
theres also estella, which is a free early access demo on steam and i really enjoy it its super fun!!

for upcoming ones... i am rather curious what the recently announced new bandori game is going to be like (assuming it is going to be a rhythm game still.. side eyes love live) though it will excite me no matter what because i enjoy avemujis music a lot 

if anybody is curious about friending me on any feel more than free to message me! though i do rotate through some (mostly the mobile ones) for storage reasons lol.. you know how it is

I love rhythm games even tho i am soso bad at them i always prefer playing hard levels that ill fail at but feel like im doing something rather than doing a super easy level i can ace but im just waiting for the beats to come around haha

personally, i dont really like the classic 4-input ddr-style games like fnf and rift of the necrodancer, when i play them it just feels like a reaction time thing rather than anything to do with rhythm..  ACTUAL DDR THOUGH IS SO FUN!! an arcade near me had a machine and i loved playing on it with my friends <3 though they shut down a while ago..

i love single input 'simple' rhythm games like Rhythm Doctor and A Dance of Fire and Ice (tho the single life makes thing a little too difficult for me)! it feels like you are actually just tapping along with a song and i find them really fun - the music is great too. the most inputs i really can stand is 2 inputs like musedash, a kinda fun but horriblleeee game (i do not recommend anyone play it it is.. dodgy  ) project sekai is pretty fun as well!

if i ever get around to hacking my 3ds id love to play some of the rhythm heaven games some time they look so fun!

My most played is Quaver but my favorite at home is probably Ez2On. I'm also really lucky to have a lot of places to play arcade rhythm games in my area. My favorite is probably Chunithm but I still bounce around a lot when I go. Dance games, especially Pump It Up, interest me a lot but I have to be in the right mindset to jump on a cab and try to learn them in a public place.

I've been bringing some friends to the arcade and its really fun to watch them get enamored with rhythm games the same way I am.

[sunnyp4rk]

I mostly play Pop'n Music and Sound Voltex when it comes to rhythm games. I DO play others, but those are the ones I've become loyal to lol

Those are also the easiest for me to play at home, since I have controllers for them. DDR isn't much fun with the softpads. I play Project Diva on my Switch, but I'd love to get an arcade con someday for it.

I didn't know OSU on mobile was still a thing! One of my friends introduced me to it a few months ago and its one of my absolute favorite games now:ozwomp: I bought a drawing tablet and everything to play it better. I took a hiatus for a while, and now playing for too long hurts my hand quicker than before

I haven’t really played many rhythm games but I’ve been OBSESSED with the rhythm game on Roblox called project rusher
It has really simple game play (any button/tapping) but can get really difficult and has some really cool songs.
It also has a story and a lot of features that they’re still working on!!
Ive also played rhythm doctor but I haven’t gotten very far in that one cause I’m surprisingly bad at it
After reading this I really wanna try more rhythm games

Hello :D

I really like Geometry Dash. Sadly i lost my entire progress after i build my new PC but i think it shouldnt be so hard to get it back. I also tried other rythm games but most of them are with anime music and i dont really like this kind of music. I would really like a rythm game with metal music but sadly i cant find anything :(
