Rhythm Destruction

Ehh, I just can't play this game. Normal difficulty scales up too fast and has way too much focus on the shmup elements (which is something I'm always awful at) and is far too unforgiving with only 4 lives and no way to gain lives back. Casual is pointless because the actual difficulty of the level is scaled down; it'd be helpful if it was just infinite lives, but nope. Some notes are also off the beat and the timing for the perfect hit is pretty strict too so. Not necessarily a bad game, just one that I can't find any enjoyment from. Retro/Grade got everything right where this one gets it wrong (good balance between rhythm/shmup, forgiving without being easy, tons of levels of difficulty, perfectly synced music guaranteed). Not that it's perfect either but this just isn't something I have interest in investing any more time in... meh. Really wanted to like this one, too, but it's just not for me.

At first, it sounds like a great mix. The only thing is, the execution, or simply the idea doesn't hold well. I'm a huge fan of rhythm games, and I really like SHMUPs. This game only take the basic of each one without incorporating them seamlessly. It could have been done in a better way, too. It just doesn't hold well together.

Meh, not really my type of game. There are plenty of games like this that are much more exciting and challenging. I gave it a shot, but didn't like it.

Rhythm Destruction is a bullet hell rhythm game developed by Curious Panda. Yes that’s right, a bullet hell rhythm game. I’m a huge bullet hell shooter fan and love games such as Danmaku Unlimited or Mars Matrix. I’m also a huge rhythm game fan and love games such as Dance Dance Revolution or Beatmania IIDX. One would think that a combination of the two would be the greatest game for me. The game hits all the proper marks for a bullet hell shooter. The controls are tight and responsive, bullets are easy to see and hazards are easily identifiable, and bosses pull some bullshit bullet curtains. All par for the course for the genre. On the rhythm side the music is pretty good, button combinations and their rhythms are somewhat hard to discern at first but after a while it gets easier to understand. As a bullet hell shooter on it’s own, the game does well. As a rhythm game on it’s own, the game does well. Combining the two causes some issues. Gameplay at first is very jarring....

While very difficult, I would definitely reccomend this game. I particularly enjoyed the way rhythm gaming was actually introduced into a bullet hell game. While every now and then, you may get pulled away to do pure rhythm gaming feats, most of the time, you're forced to dodge bullets while pressing buttons in time with music. This adds a whole new dimension of difficulty and overall satisfaction upon completion, which I have trouble finding in normal bullet hell games. Don't even get me started on how the music and visuals help to suck you into the game's atmosphere (even if the textures could use a bit more variation). Yes, this is unique, I like it.

Ridiculously fun. 1 part Gradius, 1 part Frequency. I really liked that the beats correspond to the action on the screen and it wasn't just follow the arrows with no real goal other than the end of the song. Fun for scroller fans and beat junkies alike.

This game looks & sounds easy but its so hard, BUT, its so fun. Its very catchy and addicting. Its one of those games where you can both immerse yourself in it and also go mindlessly at it and just sit back and relax. Id recommend this to anyone. Its fun but challenging.

This is actually a very great game with that unbelievable genre mashup ever! [spoiler](But why the hell is this underrated anyway?)[/spoiler] Now with this game, you can press the keys to the rhythm to attack and use your movements to avoid bullets and obstacles at the same time. That's pretty awesome as it combines rhythm and shoot 'em up together. However this game is difficult at tier 3 and further and you've gotta get better at this game since there's no upgrades or premium items. However this game has 13 stages/songs (3 are DLC) to play, complete and master but you can still enjoy this game. One is Dark Angel (composed by F-777) which is really great dupstep but really difficult. But Viper (composed by F-777) will actually challenge your skills for true as it's the hardest stage/song in this game and you will be failing it a lot. This game also deserves to be released on Wii U, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One with an ESRB rating of E. I deserve to play this game since I love both Tou...

Very fun game. It's like a mix of Raiden and Guitar Hero. It's got a great soundtrack, and some challenging levels. It's definitely worth the money!
