Decent rhythm game junk food. Good for a few hours but ultimately unsatisfying and not leaving a lasting impression. Songs and beatmaps are decent and short enough to not be annoying. Core gameplay is alright but everything added on top like the battles and trap doors hurt the experience while adding very little. The graphics are cute, the story and humor are very hit & miss, mostly the latter for me. Overall you can certainly do worse to get your quick rhythm gaming fix but it is far from a mustplay.

I haven't actually watched Lord of the Rings since the mid aughts.

silly funky sprout knight go brrrrrrr
one of my biggest surprises of 2023 by far. I love rhythm games bit I'm also sadly not that great at video games so I really like Rhythm Sprout's stance on the matter of the difficulty of its gameplay : the bases are extremely simple but, if you wanna see everything the game has to offer, you'll have to work up for it. it doesn't exactly mean i was up for the challenge (that second to last level in the prequel campaign and all the extras BEAT MY ASS) but boy had i fun completing the game.
i don't know why but i got charmed by this cutesy food themed world, the simplicity and effectiveness of the artstyle juxtaposed to how both nonchalant and intense the writing and the jokes get creates a peculiar tone that honestly truly feels like its own. also the soundtrack has nothing but good tracks with some good variety thrown into the mix to make levels distinct enough. replayability is also on point with modifiers if you wanna spice your game up.
only thing kinda holding back the game is that my hand would hurt a lot after play sessions but that's probably more on me tha anything else. please play Rhythm Sprout if you can!!

Rhythm Sprout is an awful, awful game, except for the part where you're actually playing it. The difficulty curve, pacing, and writing (oh god the writing) are pretty abysmal. It lands exactly two solid jokes over its entire runtime but attempts hundreds. But it's a game that clearly understands how to map a song, and it does so on a soundtrack that's pretty enjoyable, if a little forgettable.

Rhythm Sprout has excellent style, humor, and music. What more could you want in a rhythm game? The mechanics of the gameplay aren't anything new for rhythm games, but I think it executes the "Taiko no Tatsujin" kind of gameplay better than any other games I've played. It also offers a lot of replayability with its turbo-speed and randomized level options. Pick it up for a very fun 3-4 hours clearing the levels, plus however long you want to spend getting achievements and full combos!
