This is the mix of genres where I'm the exact niche player-base. I never thought something like this could exist and I love it.

The ideas are incredible, mixing rhythm and party game together is awesome. The game is able to stay fresh for a few hours but it loses it's strength the more it goes.

I did reach the "final boss" but you need to actually 3 star every levels to get to the true ending and hell no. This is absolutey impossible to do as a solo player. Or would takes dozens of hours I'm not willing to sink in this game because it just gets frustrating at some point.

I'll start by saying that the soundtrack of this game is fantastic. My wife and I are currently co-op'ing our way through the game and are 10 songs deep, and we haven't come across one yet that didn't leave us searching it up on the Internet and singing it afterward. The first song alone really captures the spirit of the game.

Each song, or level, is accompanied by a unique and exciting puzzle or combat experience that is exemplified by the co-op experience, such as one person playing the "rhythm" aspect of the game while another protects them, progresses the level, or keeps the notes/beats visible.

There is a motley cast of characters and a pretty good (and fairly straightforward) story to carry you through the game, though the gameplay outshines it significantly.

The game does, sadly, lose some of the magic while playing single-player, so I can't give it 5 stars. But if tapping along to exceptionally curated soundtracks while you and your friends/siblings/significant others are desperately trying to hold in your screams and laughter and solve wild puzzles is your jam, then so is this game.

ok so being entirely honest i bought this game because the nintendo direct, with the combination of konami + rhythm game + smooooch in the trailer made me think that this was a new bemani home console rhythm game which had me super excited for a moment cause that hasn't happened since the ps2 and i LOVE bemani music (sadly it was not this though and smooooch is the only bemani song in the game...). getting over this disapointment though i thought it was a pretty unique and fun rhythm game, the way which you have to interact with the stage beyond rhythm stuff i thought was cool and i enjoyed the main villain here alot and how he'd fuck with you lol. however, i would only really recommend it if you have someone else to play it with. a lot of this game is not designed for one player at all and it can get pretty frustrating during certain stages by yourself.

Eu sempre aprecio novas ideias ganhando a vida e fico muito feliz que Super Crazy Rhythm Castle. É estranho (de propósito) essa mistura que não se encaixa tão bem de jogo party com rítmico, mas que ajuda a criar o caos necessário para uma divertida tarde entre amigos. Tematicamente, ele poderia se destacar mais, principalmente com uma trilha sonora mais marcante, mas não deixa de cumprir seu papel em ser uma experiência, no mínimo, interessante. Só não tente jogar sozinho se não quiser se frustrar e se achar um incompetente, porque é possível também acontecer.

doomed to stay a hidden gem because Konami sucks at advertising video games

its a rhythm game that likes to troll you and its very funny in doing so
if you do want to play this though i'd suggest getting a friend to play it with because the game is designed with it in mind and you're not going to get all 3 stars on a level without someone (which also unlocks the games real ending i'm assuming)

fuck you Konami market your games more
