The game is so good for it's genre. I'd love to see if the can add some features, like add to favs; medium difficulty and some other, but the feeling when u press buttons in the right time is precious, I can tell.

Snappy Game Reviews - Music to our ears The Nintendo Switch has been bombarded with a whole bunch of quality rhythm games ever since its release, be it more straightforward like VOEZ or a little bit more complex like Superbeat: XONiC. As a fan of the genre, I will never be upset over getting more of what I love and as such I was quite happy to hear that PM Studios was helping with the release of MUSYNX on consoles. This indie title that was first released on mobile devices and developed by I-Inferno is yet another solid offering that joins the Nintendo Switch’s eShop. MUSYNX is as straightforward as it gets right from the start. As soon as the little intro animation is played you’re given full access to the entire 90+ tracklist (with more on the way through DLC), difficulty levels and key modes. The game tracklist features a stellar soundtrack comprised of a broad range of music genres such as pop, classical, trance, Vocaloid, R&B, and a couple more. Songs are grouped into categories and each of these categories has its unique skin, this gives the game a bit more flair to its otherwise fairly humble visuals. The gameplay is very standard but in a good way. Notes slide towards you in rows of 4 or 6 depending on the mode that you’ve chosen and you have to press or hold the right button at the right time, the better you do the better your score will be at the end. There are a couple of things that you can tweak before picking a song such as the speed at which notes slide towards you and the level of “Sound Enhancer”, the lower it is the more accurate your keypresses sound which can be a good or a bad thing depending on how good you actually are at the game. The game looks and plays amazing on a big TV in docked mode but to me, the real winner is being able to take the game anywhere. There’s nothing that can compare to zoning out to a flashy rhythm game on my way to work with my headphones. Although the game is very fun to play there were a couple of small shortcomings that became apparent right from the start of my time with MUSYNX. First, the awful user interface that makes the action of picking a specific song a complete nightmare. The game doesn’t have a favourite songs list nor any genre filters so in case you want to play a specific song you have to scroll through the entire tracklist every single time. On top of this, the lack of any real modes is somewhat disappointing, a mere arcade mode with leaderboards like the one in Superbeat: XONiC would do wonders to the overall replayability of the game. Despite these small gripes, MUSYNX is still a fine addition to the Nintendo Switch growing list of rhythm games. While its simplistic gameplay and a broad range of music genres are very welcoming features to newcomers I do wish there was a little more meat on its bones considering its asking price. As it stands, MUSYNX is still a very fun title that will surely have you tap your feet to the beat at all times.

A bare-bones keysounded rhythm game with basically nothing but the one thing that matters: great music. It's not incredibly difficult (although the Inferno difficulty is coming soon in a free update) and playing via touchscreen feels a little bit laggy, but it's absolutely worth it for anyone who considers themselves a fan of this genre. The various themes are all nicely done (I especially like the intentionally bad "kuso" one), but some of them can kind of obscure the note field unfortunately. Never badly enough to be frustrating but the darker themes tend to be harder to read. Apparently a theme selector is coming soon though apparently so that should be remedied for anyone who dislikes certain ones. The music itself covers a huge breadth of genres, but a good chunk of it is East Asian Vocaloid stuff, whether metal or pop or EDM. There is a lot of Mandarin in this game, and several songs that lean heavy into the more traditional Chinese side of things even. For me this is a real treat because I love that sound, but if you're put off by stuff like that then this game might not be your style. Overall it still feels like a mobile port, but it's a port **** game at the right price. The fact that keys can be remapped is great and lets you use something like a fightstick if you want (way better than controller or touchscreen). Recommended highly to hardcore rhythm game fans, but for those who want something more than just raw charts to chew through this is not your spot. Casual players should wait for "Taiko no Tatsujin" later this month and they'll be happier since that has party games, multiplayer, unlockables and a little story-ish thing, as well as a dedicated drumcon.
