The timing of your input is much more reliant on audio cues rather than visuals ones, so much so that you can actually play some of the games with your eyes closed. This however doesn’t mean that it’s not challenging. It’s simplistic control scheme works in its favour by making it an extremely accessible and easy game to pick and play. You’ll get a small tutorial before each level and upon completion you’ll be graded and awarded coins accordingly. The story is not afraid to get downright silly and because it doesn’t really take itself seriously, I ended up doing the same and thoroughly enjoyed it in the end.Īs mentioned before, the core gameplay consists of short rhythm-based mini-games with each one consisting of nothing more than one or two button presses. From the doughnut loving Donna, to the energetic hair stylist Hairold, the characters had me laughing out loud more than once.

To do this you have to help some eccentric characters get back their Flow, which really just equates to completing mini-games in order to progress through each stage.Īt first the story seemed like a weird inclusion as it does kind of slow down the pace and interrupts the flow of the game, but despite that, I absolutely adored how weird and funny the characters and writing actually is. A little pink bear-thing (with an adorable pink afro) named Tibby fell from Heaven World and you have to help him get back home. While Rhythm Paradise Megamix is ultimately a collection of rhythm mini-games, it does have a story of sorts to move the game along. After playing this game however, I realize that I’ve been sorely missing out on a really unique rhythm game series. Thankfully Megamix contains levels from previous entries which allow me catch up a bit.

As a lover of rhythm games and all things Japanese, I’m ashamed to say that I’ve never played a Rhythm Heaven/Paradise game before.
