This game looked familiar and now I recall playing a very basic version of this in a Yakuza title as a minigame. Rhythm games are usually challenging to a certain degree and fun to play every once in a while so having different game modes and an online component are certainly a plus for who plans to buy this title.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a super-fun game for music fans! The songs are varied, and banging on the drum is super satisfying. It's perfect for playing alone or with friends. Some of the songs are a bit hard, but that adds to the challenge.

Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival had a lot of potential, but it's bogged down by bugs and performance issues. I experienced frequent input lag, which is a big problem for a rhythm game. The graphics are also pretty dated, with lifeless character models that don't match the energy of the soundtrack. While the song list is great, the gameplay feels clunky and unfinished. It's hard to fully enjoy the music when the experience is so frustrating.

A very cool rhythm game with simple mechanics, varied difficulty level and charming graphic style. Unfortunately, the big problem is the price/content ratio: the base game costs more than 200 zlotys, but contains only 76 tracks, and in addition, about 700-800 tracks are included in expensive DLC....

Taiko no Tatsujin falls into the category of rhythm games, a niche genre where you have to press the keys - in this case beat the drums - in time to the music. There is no real story mode, but it is possible to follow the adventures of the two protagonists by accumulating Taiko points and thus advance in the Rewards Map. The map is divided into boxes and some of them contain parts of the story, while others contain rewards which can be Don coins, the game currency, or new items in the shop.

Game that could also be interesting, but the price is probably a bit too high
