its basically an arcadey, rhythm/beat em up, platformer type game

You go thru stages trying to complete objectives while fighting off enemies. You also have assist characters as you progress through the game to help in exploration/platforming and combat.

The timing for the rhythm can take a little bit to get used to, but there are ways the game helps you to attack or move to the beat Via a metronome, character animations, and stage animations, they all move to the beat.

Rhythm affects all aspects of the game and while you can play off rhythm, you are rewarded more with either more damage or better timing, (i actually forgot but things are better on rhythm than not)
