when you finished a heavy game or bored, this kind of games is relaxing and chilling.

It's probably best weeb rhytme game i played so far (and yes it's way better then OSU!). but that's it, i still don't get how peopla have fun with rhytme games...

when this game originally launched on PC there was a bug that literally didn't allow you to play the game at all. it look them nearly a week to fix it.

It helped me to reconcile to the fact that Katamari Damacy is a masterpiece in every conceivable way.

Eu nunca fui tão fã de jogos de ritmo, mas tenho que admitir... ESSE JOGO É ABSURDAMENTE BOM E EU NÃO CONSIGO PARAR DE JOGAR.


has some banger songs included
PC controls are good enough

Mas Taiko siempre es algo positivo, y pese a que el setlist es bastante flojillo, no deja de ser lo suficientemente divertido como para hacer FC de toda la lista.

Fuck Freedom Dive.

i made someone leave the vc when i played anime music

Taiko is still great, but the worst way to play is with a controller. And since that’s really the only option on Xbox for now, the fun is ultimately limited. Give it a shot to get a flavor of Taiko, but be sure to try it someplace with a drum or even a phone touch screen for a better experience.

It's Taiko! That's it. No more, no less. This is precisely 1 (one) serving of Taiko No Tatsujin with few frills, and only a handful of bells and whistles. There are much more fully featured Taiko games out there, but as an addition to GamePass it absolutely does the job.

* This game is called Corrupt-A-Wish

Someone comments a wish...

- I wish Taiko no Tatsujin had Street Fighter music.

The next person grants the wish...
but corrupts it.

- Granted but it's fucking Ryu's theme from 5, the one with the god awful dubstep that goes Hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr hurr hurrrr, Hur Hur Hur Hur, Hur Hur Hur hurr.

Jogado no Xbox Game Pass. Taiko é sempre bom e estar disponível no Game Pass é algo muito muito bom. Meu maior problema é na quantidade de conteúdo: tem poucas músicas, é bem demorado pra comprar novas, não tem outros modos single-player. Parece uma versão bem capada de uma franquia com tanto potencial sendo publicado em outras plataformas.

Slightly but good lord its grindy as hell to unlock anything. The game also really doesnt suit controllers and its crying out for anything to resemble the drum the original games had. Its also just a tad on the bare-bones side. For games pass? Fine. Buying on its own? You're served better elsewhere.

Also having Namco drop all support almost instantly feels painful.

This game runs fine, it plays like a normal Taiko game and didn’t have many issues on its own, it’s perfectly enjoyable as a Taiko game.

As I got this game mainly to be able to play it with a friend, my main complaint is they way it lets you play with friends non-locally, since it forces you to do a ranked match and just doesn’t factor the win/loss into your actual rank.

With ranked match you can’t choose the song and are stuck on whatever your rank difficulty is, so if you want it to be higher you either have to select that difficulty from the beginning or play a bunch of ranked matches to bring it up. Personally, I find playing ranked matches deeply unenjoyable, to the point that it makes me not want to play the game at all – losing for getting OK’s (or being an otherwise just average player) to people getting full clear near full perfects on higher levels just feels like it’s impossible to actually rank up. And then your difficulty is fixed, so there’s no doing a lower difficulty to just have a fun time or because you’re tired, and no taking a higher difficulty just to see or to try and get it because it’s on the border of what you’re capable of. There is only the difficulty you are on and you cannot change this except to go back and do ranked matches until your difficulty matches where you want it to be for that time. This also means you can’t choose songs, so you can’t do songs you or your friend like, and you will have to do songs you have no interest in playing.

The other thing I like about this game is that you can customize your character to give a personalized taiko drum to play with. I’m not sure if you get coins from playing on your own, but I sure hope so, because if you have to play the hellish ranked matches to get them….. Then that feature may as well not exist.

Overall, the game is perfectly fine, but why would I play this one over, say, the switch version?

It's where you DRUM. And that is the end! HA HA HA

The fun part was NOTHING, you just get to drum. (Bizarre guttural sounds)

...why did you write that part Daddy.

Resident "Not A Rhythm Game Type of Guy" here. As someone who has basically always observed this as the "Kirby games of rhythm games" I think it lives up to that standard very well. The game is incredibly easy to get into, has a cute artstyle and is just fun to play. My only complaint is the lack of any content. A very limited selection of songs that mostly consist of noncopyrighted music and Bandai Namco owned music. I get that licensing music is hard but the best you can do is like 40 songs? Twenty of which you already own. And if you lack actual music, you could add modes to make up for it. There's no real substance to the game other than the standard rhythm game fanfare. I will say, points for the two Undertale tracks.

Kind of wack that you can’t pick the song when playing a friend.

you can play Cha La AND Megalovania AND The Entertainer what more could you ask for

A game that takes true skill and determination

Fine... but there are way better Taiko games that are way more accessible.


Siempre había querido probar un juego de este estilo... y está bastante bien.

Claramente no está diseñado para jugarse en control y le resta muchísimo. Sus opciones online son risibles, al punto que ni siquiera pude jugar con un amigo por más que lo intentamos.

La selección de canciones es probablemente lo mejor. Bastante bueno para tener descargado y sacarlo en alguna reunión, pero hasta ahí.

Blah rythm game, really tough and frustrating to play with a controller, major pass

Had a lot of fun playing tracks on Hard difficulty. However, the starting track selection feels limited, and the store system for unlocking new tracks is really slow. Both of these make it difficult for me to remain invested in improving enough to play harder difficulties.

Honestly I was super hype for this to come out and, well, it's Taiko like I expected... but then Bandai Namco dropped the bomb that a new Switch game is coming out with a subscription to include 500 songs and I lost interest in this one. Shame they release this and then turn around and do that. Wish that sub would be on the PC, but oh well. See y'all on Switch.
