incredibly fun game, just by playing for 15 minutes a day you can feel yourself improving over weeks,
as for the bad stuff we have things like really wonky difficulty ratings that dont count in things like the complexity of the chart etc, we also have the low amount of free levels, they also locked the story past chapter 2 behind a paywall which is really predatory behavior, the amount of paid content is huge when compared to the free content which makes this all seem like a cashgrab
In the end even with the annoyances, its really fun, just try not to reward the devs for their predatory practices, pay for the game initially and then play the game casually by not caring about the paid side of events (which is sorta the equivelent of a battlepass), the story and just dont even look into the tab that contains the paid songs
now if you want to play the game hardcore, each song pack costs around 5 dollars, with things like the chapter 3 exceeding that and they contain around 5 songs, with sometimes one locked behind a challenge to get full combo on all songs in the pack on any difficulty, you can also purchase single songs for a dollar
now onto the events, they have a system where every 2.5 hours they give you one "play token" (up to 3 stored) which you can use to have the game roll 3 random songs you own (they can repeat) based on the difficulty level you chose (higher difficulty also gives more points) and add modifiers onto them like required full combo, fun modifiers like ones that change the chart in some way and the harder the modifier, the more points clearing the song gives
at certain point milestones you earn things like traveler badges (used to purchase free songs), limited time pilots (just a character that shows up on your screen on game launch), limited time avatars and limited time free songs BUT the event can rerun in the future if you miss it, now onto the bad stuff, you can also buy a featured song pack which is the theme of the event which if you do, you obviously get the song pack itself but you also get things like 3x point boosters (not really required to beat the event, dont worry), limited time paid pilots and limited time paid avatars
with all this, its obvious that the developers do want to make a profit on this game, they do listen to player's feedback when it doesnt cut into their profits as far as im aware but thats to be expected nowadays, especially from a mobile game
finishing off, i obviously skipped out on the main things etc but you can just watch the trailer or something, the game is worth it if you just want to play it casually and dont have other rhythm games to play, but otherwise just go play something like a dance of fire and ice and muse dash, theyre much more of a bang for the buck when compared to this game but still fun gameplay and smart use of tech, barely 7/10
