StepMania and osu are better, the point to this is the visual charm and characters that can be modded in.
it can be button mashy but all I can add to that sentiment is that the game is better when not taken seriously. game is dying but already has a lot of content.

The base game is not worth mentioning, the mods are where its at.
some may not like the songs don't have lyrics, but that can be modded in too
