Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The simplicity of the base gameplay mechanics is genius, welcoming but also adds surprisingly insane amounts of depth.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Controller has an inherent advantage over keyboard due to having 4 keybinds for 'don' compared to keyboard's 2 keybinds, as well as a more conducive layout for button spamming, so drumrolls will almost always win lower ranked matches.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
the story is way better than that one vocaloid rhythm game, even though its a short one the characters are cute. i liked don chan since april smth yeah and idk what to say about this part
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I prefer Clone Hero's / Raganrock's layout, difficulty curve and custom charts (there are more and they offer metal charts unlike Taiko), but Taiko remains my favorite rythm games series nontheless.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The default music pack included with the game provides a solid starting selection, and the local co-op mode works well with a DualSense controller connected to the Steam Deck.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's worth it if you know you like Taiko and it plays perfectly on Steam Deck as well.
