![]() They all have unlockable costumes too, which also have different skills, such as earning higher scores when you’re above a certain combo number, or being able to survive for a while past when you would have lost due to losing all your HP. You can pick from three girls to play as, Rin, Buro and Marija, who are all cute and colourful, and have different passive skills that’ll impact the gameplay. The Switch version of the game comes with all the past DLC songs included, and on PC the DLC will be available separately. There’s definitely going to be something you’ll like in there, and regardless of your taste in music, all these songs are a lot of fun to play along to. There are songs with heavy bass drops, some that sound like retro video game music, and some which have beautiful piano melodies. The music selection is incredible a lot of which is very fast paced, but there’s some good variety in there too. The “fighting enemies” element of the game also means you have a HP bar, which will deplete if you miss a beat and take a hit, making this a little different to “traditional” rhythm games. It sounds very simple, but once you get started you won’t be able to put it down. ![]() With simple two-button (or touch screen) controls, you’ll tap to the beat of the music to fight enemies and mini bosses. It’s addictive, fast, but most of all, it’s a hell of a lot of fun. It is available now.Ĭurious what our scores mean? Find out more in our comprehensive guide to Understanding KnowTechie’s Game Review Scoring.Muse Dash is a gorgeous, colourful rhythm game that recently made its way from mobile platforms onto Switch and PC. Jake reviewed Muse Dash on the Nintendo Switch (also available on Steam) with a review code from the developers. I would recommend Muse Dash only to thirsty weebs who need to get their rhythm game fix in between DDR sessions in Ikebukuro. There’s just absolutely nothing else to chew on here. If all you want to do is hit buttons to incredibly energetic Japanese pop music and you either like or simply don’t mind hyper-sexualized anime girls, Muse Dash has got you covered. ![]() There are tons of songs to hit buttons to and the button-hitting is responsive, satisfying, and engaging. (Image: Jake Vander Ende / KnowTechie)Īnd that purpose is one that’s fully realized if I’m being honest. Seriously, the character of this game makes me super uncomfortable. But really, Muse Dash is fairly single-minded: hit buttons in time to some music This is fairly consistently bad throughout the game. “Magical Girl Marija’s increasing speed of Fever is 20% faster?” I played a not-insignificant amount of this game and I honestly have no idea what the fuck that means. If that doesn’t make you uncomfortable, at least recognize that the translations are pretty bad. God, I can’t fucking believe I had to type that for you. ![]() Yep, that’s a giant, bouncing, anime butt showing off an upskirt panty shot with a strategically placed magical broom between her legs. Muse Dash is incredibly loud in its presentation That is honestly all there is to this game. Play songs to level up, level up to unlock new songs, characters, and ability-granting familiars. Each level is a song, each song has three difficulties of increasingly complex button patterns to master. Press both buttons to hit enemies that are linked from ground to air. Hold the correct button when a star with a color trail shows up and release when the trail ends. Press the buttons in time with the music, with the right button hitting things on the ground and the left one launching you upwards to hit things in the air. There are two buttons: one for the right hand and one for the left. When you first start playing Muse Dash, the tutorial comes at you quickly and furiously. Muse Dash is the game that answers the question, “What if Dance Dance Revolution was played with two buttons and was also a thirsty, anime sidescroller?” I don’t know that anyone was asking that question, but here we are nonetheless.
