What players say
Most players recommend it for its fun two-button rhythm gameplay, strong music and cute art, but many say most songs and extras are locked behind the paid Muse Plus pass.
Many players praise the simple two-button controls, which are easy to learn but become very hard on higher difficulties, and the large, varied song library. Several like the collaborations with other franchises and the frequent updates, and the base game is cheap on sale. The main complaint is the paywall: the base game holds only a small share of songs, and reviewers say it feels like a demo until they buy Muse Plus, which costs much more than the base game. Some reviewers also object to the sexualised character designs and fanservice, though others say it is easy to hide them with settings or skins. Recent reviews are more negative about changes to the DLC, including a replaced pass and a downgrade for players who missed an earlier bundle, and some say chart quality has slipped.
Praised
- Simple, deep two-button gameplay
Easy to pick up with just two buttons, but higher difficulties demand fast, precise alternating and sight-reading.
Many players - Large, good song library
Players say the music is catchy and varied, with collaborations and regular new tracks.
Many players - Cute art and characters
The illustrations, live2D characters and animations are praised, and collecting artwork is a draw for many.
Many players - Cheap base game and good sales
Players say the base game is inexpensive and the DLC often goes on sale, making it good value.
Some players
Criticised
- Most content behind paywall
Players say the base game has few songs and feels like a demo until the costly Muse Plus pass is bought.
Many players - Sexualised designs and fanservice
Players find the fanservice excessive and uncomfortable, including some youthful-looking characters, though others say it is easy to avoid.
Many players - Changes to DLC packages
Reviewers complain that the older all-in-one pass was replaced by Muse Plus, which some call a downgrade and which leaves out some limited songs.
Some players - Chart quality and bugs
Players say some charts feel poorly placed or hard to sync, and some mention crashes or dizziness.
A few players
- Who it suits
- Suits players who enjoy rhythm games, want a cheap, simple game to pick up, and don't mind anime-style suggestive art or are willing to pay for the expansion.
- Who should skip it
- Should skip it if they want a complete game from the base version alone, dislike sexualised character art, or expect custom charts and a fair price for all songs.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours, who have bought the full pass, mostly praise the content and value, while those who stopped at the base game focus on the paywall; recent players also raise the DLC changes.
