## What is Rhythm Journey?

1. Play real drum rhythms.
2. Listen to each character’s story through their song’s lyrics and vocals.
3. The controls are easy to learn, but hard to master.
4. Enjoy 160 stages and 32 tracks.




1. Play real drum rhythms.

 Rhythm Journey is centered around each track’s drum beat. Specifically, the game play focuses on the drum’s kick and snare, which can be described as the ‘boom’ sound and the ‘pat’ sound. Rhythm Journey also contains a variety of genres, rhythms, beats, and techniques (pop, rock, funk, Bossa nova, swing, shuffle, 8-beat, 16-beat, 4/4 beat, 3/4 beat, syncopation, fill-in, etc.) that are used in real music, so you feel as if you’re actually playing the drums.


2. Listen to each character’s story through their song’s lyrics and vocals.

 Rhythm Journey is a rhythm game with a story. Centered around your main adventure, where you are saving the world of sound by passing the rhythm paths, each song contains various tales about various emotions in an omnibus format. Listen to stories that are sometimes warm, sometimes sad, sometimes about life, and sometimes even philosophical through song lyrics and character vocals.


3. The controls are easy to learn, but hard to master.

 Rhythm Journey is a game played with only two buttons, but it's high difficulty makes it so you have to almost play perfectly to get to the end of each song. In addition, you have to respond to various patterns, such as changing your speed and direction.

However, assist options such as the ability to automatically go through each track can help you make it through the game. As long as you don’t give up and stay determined, you will always be able to make progress until your hard work pays off and you finally beat the level.


4. Enjoy 160 stages and 32 tracks.

 Rhythm Journey has 32 tracks (27 with lyrics and vocals, 5 instrumentals), with each track containing 5 stages for a total of 160 stages to play. You can also test your mastery of the game by speeding up each track.

### 4/5 — 게임성만큼은 나쁘지 않음 한번 츄라이

*2025-09-13*

난이도: 좀 있는편 얼불춤마냥 하나틀리면 죽는데 세이브없음 그리고 생각보다 헷갈림

그래픽: 좀 유아틱한게 진입장벽인데 취향차이라 생각함

게임성: 조금 애매함.. 스테이지식이라서 원하는곳 해금이 좀 걸린달까? 게다가 튜토리얼 다음 본 그테이지 느낌인데 이게 좀 지루할 수 도있음..

노래: 개인적으로 좋다생각함 몽환적인 느낌인데 게임 분위기하고 잘 맞고 은근 중독성도 있어서 팩까지 지름

약간 저평가 된것같다는 생각을 하곤 하는데 인터페이스가 너무 유아틱한게 최대 단점이라 생각함 그래도 난 재밌게함

### 1/5 — Grit

*2025-08-28*

It’s so annoying how it just expects you to be perfect right out of the gate and there is almost no room for error and the two button system is annoying.

### 1/5 — ?

*2025-03-02*

I can’t hear music

### 1/5 — 이럴 빠에

*2024-03-10*

이럴 시간에 얼불춤 하는게 낫겠다

### 3/5 — 너무 재밌어요!!!그런데 난이도가..

*2024-01-31*

안녕하세요 하루에 한번 리듬 저니를 플레이 하는 사람입니다. 리듬 저니가 너무 재밌고 신나는데 난이도가 너무 높아서 플레이를 못하고 있어요.연습모드로 한번 플레이 해봤는데도 안돼더라구요 물과 불의 댄스 리듬을 플레이 하고 싶은데 못 플레이 하고 있어요.난이도를 많이 줄여주면 괜찮을거 같아요 물이랑 번개가 너무 어려워요😭😭 그래서 별점 3개 줍니다

### 4/5 — Came for ADOFAI, stayed for the gameplay

*2023-11-13*

As stated in the title I originally found this game through A Dance of Fire and Ice. After downloading it only took 1 track for me to fall in love. As soon as I finished track 2 I immediately bought the full game. Highly recommend for anyone else who wants a simple rhythm game on the go.

### 5/5 — good game

*2023-08-09*

Really good game I love it 

this is the second review for this game lol

### 5/5 — Interesting!

*2023-07-04*

Fun App! Never played anything adofai related or thee’ adofai game before.. but it’s a really good app! To bad most players don’t have any spare change to spend ( me.. I’m broke ) . 

The demo to be honest in my opinion was a lot shorter then I thought.. I was just about to get into it. Thank you though..

### 5/5 — i love this game

*2023-05-31*

title says it all!! its fun, its a challenge, and i like the songs. i’d add fear grows and final boss to my spotify playlist if it was on there!! its definitely not a rhythm game for a casual player, as i can definitely say some of the songs took me hours to complete, and im still working on the bonus songs… 

but for someone who loves rhythm games and enjoys a challenge, this is a great game!! just beware, hours of playing have the side effect of making you very dizzy— at least in my experience.

### 5/5 — 렉이 걸려요!ㅠㅠ

*2023-04-06*

안녕하세요~~리듬저니를 너무 재밌게 하고 있는 1인입니다ㅎㅎ노래들 너무 좋고 난이도도 올라갈수록 너무 재밌어요!! 근데 요즘 터치 관련 렉이 걸리는데ㅠㅠㅠ제핸드폰이 문제인가 싶어서 다른 핸드폰으로 해봤는데 또 렉이 걸려서요ㅠㅠ문의드립니다~~
