Not to worry, it's incredibly fun and the phenominal soundtrack makes for a great experience.

The controls are simple, but the skill ceiling is so insanely high for something so surface-level in appearance.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With the release the game has been augmented with some kind of plot which makes it a bit more beautiful than a rogue-like w/o a plot.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

Add great pixelart graphics and perfect soundtrack (mandatory for a rhythm game) and there's nothing to stop me from recommending it to you.
