I have an incredible soft spot for rhythm games. Games like Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, Cadence of Hyrule, and Hi-Fi Rush, just to name a few. Super Crazy Rhythm Castle takes the concepts from these games and creates a unique game with a lot of charm and sass that can provide hours of entertainment, both alone and with up to three friends.
The idea of the game is that you are one of four characters who set off to challenge King Ferdinand in the castle to take his crown and become the next ruler. As you enter the castle, things immediately become apparent that this isn’t going to be a simple walk in the park. The tutorial takes you through the basics, and a lot of the gameplay is done on a track like a game like Guitar Hero.
Gameplay can vary based on the different levels that you will enter in the castle. Some games are simple, in which you just tap the buttons along to the music. Others might have you destroying things or converting followers to your side or telling a story. The gameplay is never tedious, although there can be a learning curve if you want to do well in the ratings. Each level of the game is rated on a three-star level based on your performance in the level. I started the first few levels doing well with three stars, but then suddenly, I hit a level and started hitting a streak of one-star levels.
One of the bigger aspects of the game is its music selection. The genres that are covered are incredibly diverse, and you could be listening to a flamenco-style song in one moment, and in the very next moment, you’d be listening to a song that sounds like it came off a Skillet CD from the 90s or early 2000s, and then follow it up with a song that sounds like the ending credits song to an anime.
Another aspect of the game that stood out to me was the writing. The dialogue for King Ferdinand cracked me up and I was always looking forward to what he was going to say to me. The NPCs as well have clever phrases that have me chuckling throughout the game.
While the game is fun and the music is catchy, there are some issues with scaling in difficulty, especially when playing solo. I would give Super Crazy Rhythm Castle a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.
