Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
32 of 87 sampled reviews raised it
The art is great (gives me Cowboy Bebop vibes, can't quite put my finger on why), the music is great, the story (surprised me that there was any!) is basic but touching, the gameplay is somewhat innovative (mixing Necrodancer-style rhythm-combat mechanics with Vampire Survivors-like top-down bullet-heaven combat) and is pretty fun, although it gets a little bit repetitive by the end.
Gameplay

You can make various builds to suit your preference, both with weapons and passive buffs.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 87 sampled reviews raised it
The game has full controller support and nice accessibility options for modulating difficulty, not to mention the ability to pick your difficulty less directly within runs as well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

Visually, Kill The Music bursts with vibrant energy, using bold colors, dynamic lighting, and a slick hand-drawn art style that gives it the look of a living comic book.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 87 sampled reviews raised it
The map doesn't change, the soundtrack (while it sounds great) has far too few songs for this type of game, higher difficulties hardly change the gameplay, it's all so lacking in variety.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 87 sampled reviews raised it
All "weapons" are pretty fun.Yes,they quite similar if we talking about same type,but they supposed to be like that,cus this is different perspective from different people on the same instruments.
