Missing an enemy breaks that combo, and getting hit by an obstacle or enemy deals damage and drains her health bar. Each course includes a “boss” sort of enemy who will shoot more shit at your muse that she has to dodge/hit to maintain her combo. The player can pick one of the three muses Rin, Buro, or Marija to play through these rhythm-based courses with, beating up enemies and dodging obstacles to the beat of the song. Muse Dash in its base form features a few dozen tracks to play through. It’s colorful and fun, and you don’t really have to think too much about it. This was just the kind of game I needed for these bullshit times we currently live in. ![]() There’s no story to the game either, at least not one I could find.īut that’s fine. Unlike other rhythm games I’ve covered here like Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone and the Persona dancing titles that feature four tracks to keep up with corresponding to the four buttons on the PS4 controller, Muse Dash only has two. ![]() I say casual, but in some sense, Muse Dash is extra-casual. So I’ve been getting a lot of use out of Muse Dash, a rhythm game out for PC, Switch, and mobile platforms.

There’s just absolutely nothing else to chew on here. If all you want to do is hit buttons to incredibly energetic Japanese pop music and you either like or simply don’t mind hyper-sexualized anime girls, Muse Dash has got you covered. There are tons of songs to hit buttons to and the button-hitting is responsive, satisfying, and engaging. (Image: Jake Vander Ende / KnowTechie)Īnd that purpose is one that’s fully realized if I’m being honest. Seriously, the character of this game makes me super uncomfortable. But really, Muse Dash is fairly single-minded: hit buttons in time to some music This is fairly consistently bad throughout the game. “Magical Girl Marija’s increasing speed of Fever is 20% faster?” I played a not-insignificant amount of this game and I honestly have no idea what the fuck that means. If that doesn’t make you uncomfortable, at least recognize that the translations are pretty bad. God, I can’t fucking believe I had to type that for you.

Each level is a song, each song has three difficulties of increasingly complex button patterns to master. Press both buttons to hit enemies that are linked from ground to air. Hold the correct button when a star with a color trail shows up and release when the trail ends. Press the buttons in time with the music, with the right button hitting things on the ground and the left one launching you upwards to hit things in the air. There are two buttons: one for the right hand and one for the left. When you first start playing Muse Dash, the tutorial comes at you quickly and furiously.
