As with virtually all rhythm games in existence, I discovered the bottom issue setting to truly be troublesome of a distinct type. If you might have any sense of timing in any respect, it’s possible that it’ll really be too sluggish and trigger missed beats all by itself. Once you perceive find out how to really play, and what the varied enemies and button prompts need from you, I’d suggest sticking with the usual issue stage except you actually need a problem. (There are additionally some accessibility choices that actually increase on what you are able to do with out essentially being a professional or being able to hit all of the buttons historically required.)
