Gal Metal 'World Tour Edition' (Nintendo Switch)

Let me preface this by saying - i have actually not completed this game yet, however, i still think i can give a good enough review to actually give enough information that'll make you decide whether or not this game is for you.First and foremost, the obvious, this is a metal based rythm game, what you may not know depending or not if you're going in blind, is that this is a DRUM based rythm game, you play as a drummer only, you don't get to use any other instruments, maybe they'll make a sequel or something where you have more choice but so far you'll only have your joy-cons and an imaginary drum to play with.So how does the game work? well first of all you get three different ways to control the game, with the joy-cons as i mentioned above, where you have to beat an imaginary drum, this is the deafult setting and is also the easiest, then you can also play with touch controls, and a button setup, either one of these are the same, only that in one you touch the screen of your Switch, and the other uses the buttons obviously, i found these to be okay, but they'll take some getting used to.the main gameplay centers around beating the drums to the rythm of the song, but unlike other rythm games there is no targets you have to time perfectly, or however you'd describe it, you basically just use your arms and ears in this game, so this isn't exactly a game for the deaf as there are no visual cues as to when to hit the drums besides in the practice rounds, there's also a sort of (Persona-esque) RPG mechanic latched on in story mode that affects how well you do during 'concerts', hopefully i've described that well enough.I should also mention that there are a few different modes in this game and two joy-con difficulty options, there's your practice mode, free play, and story mode, and for difficulties there's noodle mode, where you don't have to be that accurate with the joy-cons, and drum mode, which centers around being more accurate with your hits.This physical retail version of the game also includes the DLC, which means you go from 13 songs in the digital version, to 18 songs in the physical version, which to me is still lacking content, and that is probably my biggest issue with this game, it is very bare bones, in fact if you want a rythm game AND bang for your buck, i'd recommend Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum n Fun instead (also available on Amazon AND easily has one of the most useful collectors editions by the way), so why am i giving this game 5 stars? because i think it's really charming, and i've been taking breaks to play through the story mode on a daily basis (as each song counts as one episode, so it feels more like reading a manga, or watching an anime.) and i think that's how the game is best enjoyed, playing through one or two songs per day in story mode, otherwise you can pretty much blast through this one in a couple of hours.Overall: A pretty decent little rythm game with a unique control scheme, but lacking in content, not really worth it at the current price point, but it's up to personal choice whether or not what you think 18 songs with a game centered around them are worth. personally a 5/5 for me as reasons stated above, but most likely a 4/5 for people less generous.

This is good enough that we bought it twice, first time the original version (as an impulse second hand purchase), then this one for the extras. It's a fun story line (but not super deep) and makes good use of the Switch controllers. In a cool art style too.

There are too many long cut scenes that you can’t skip. I was disappointed to find that it’s only a one player game and you can’t use the taiko drum with it like other have suggested.

Would be grateful if you play with others but game work very well, as a drummer and give a lot of change to create a beat

Jogo mediano. Não tem o acompanhamento preciso das batinas nos joycons mas tem uma história divertida como se fosse um mangá e é bem feito. É interessante pra ter na coleção, inslusive por ser um exclusivo Switch.
