In some of the menus, the characters are animated. The graphics of the game are nice, bright and of good quality for this type of game. With the right Elfin and character, you can create particularly powerful combinations. Their abilities are similar to the character abilities. For example, Joker Buro gets higher scores for combos over 60/70, while Schoolgirl Buro becomes invincible during fever mode.Įlfins are small companions which grant extra abilities. While each character ability is unique, most broadly fall into one of two categories: increase or protect your overall score or live longer. Each character skill set and design is unique, but it is actually three characters in different costumes. There are a total of fourteen different characters, all with different abilities – sort of. Collecting enough of a particular item unlocks either a character or an Elfin, depending on the item. This unlocks further stages in the game and grants you items.

I went from taking 3 – 5 attempts to get an ‘S-rank’ on hard mode to often doing it first time and occasionally even with a full clear.Īs you complete stages in the game, you gain experience. Then when I disregarded the game’s controller tutorial which told me to press ‘X’ and ‘Right D-Pad’ on my Xbox controller and instead used the left and right triggers, my score increased significantly. Using a keyboard was comfortable enough, but I did much better with a mouse or controller. Personally, I found that the control scheme used affected my score significantly. The game can be played with a keyboard, mouse or controller. While not explained in game, it seems like 90% or above of enemies need to be cleared with a perfect for an S-rank, regardless of other factors of the score. One time I full cleared a level with 85% perfect and 15% great hits on the enemies, but only achieved an A-rank. I was surprised to find that the S-rank was only obtainable with a high percentage of perfect scores. The rank is awarded at the end of the level and based on your precision, combo and other factors.
Hitting an enemy with enough precision awards a perfect score for that enemy. These help you target enemies more precisely. It didn’t go well.Īs your character runs, two circles are shown in front of them at all times. Bonus footage of my first attempt at Master difficulty can be found here. I’d suggest that the difficulty level is aimed towards casual rhythm game players as even the highest difficulty levels felt easy to pass and reasonably difficult but not impossible for a decent player to get a high rank. I found that the difficulty levels were fairly distinct, which each being a big leap up from the previous one. Not all stages have Master difficulty, but those which do require it to be unlocked by earning an S-rank on the hard mode of that stage first. The amount of enemies and obstacles which appear depends on the difficulty mode. Running into the obstacles or enemies depletes the health bar. Occasionally you may need to hold one, press both together or quickly press both repeatedly for certain enemies. Most of the time you just use these to attack enemies or dodge obstacles. One brings you to the ground level and attacks, while the other has the character jump and perform an air attack. Your character constantly runs while you use two buttons or keys to control them. The basic gameplay of Muse Dash is fairly simple. This is all done to upbeat music, most often Chinese pop. In this game, the player dashes through 40 stages, taking out enemies, dodging obstacles and collecting points while trying to survive to the end of the level. This review is based on my experience playing the Steam version of the base game.
The Nintendo Switch version could be considered a complete edition with significantly more songs, but the other versions are separated into a base game for a lower price and DLC music packs. The game can be purchased on Steam (PC), Nintendo Switch and for mobile devices. It combines the ideas of traditional music games with aspects such as enemies, health bars and earning abilities.
Muse Dash is an anime-themed rhythm game.
