Description: VR RHYTHM ACTION SEIYA is not your average rhythm game where you just keep beat with the song — it’s a virtual reality music game where you can actually play the melody. Punching the flying stars coming out of the screen will play a note from an instrument, and lyric stars will sing the words. The game can even help you exercise since your score is based on how hard you punch.
Review: VR RHYTHM ACTION SEIYA is a J-Pop music rhythm game with a 80’s look which was quite nice, neon and bright. There is even a decent amount of content to be going on with 25 songs that do have slightly different styles (rock, pop, etc, etc), so at least that mixes things up a bit. But much like 90% of all other music rhythm games this game suffers the same game-breaking problem…all the beats are not in time with the music! Games like Beat Saber didn’t win people over with their graphics, they won people over with the beat mapping! The developers need to learn the lesson that content and looks are only a small part of the story when making a game. Plus, it’s massively overpriced anyway so I would avoid it for sure.
