Boring

Boring GAME Ihave ever played

Just a couple song recommendations

Hi, people at Bandai Namco. Ever since last year, I’ve been really into playing Taiko no Tatsujin. In fact, when I found out that you guys were putting it onto Apple Arcade, I was over the moon to play it. I’ve enjoyed playing through all the songs, and unlocking all the costumes and drum sounds (my personal favourite being the conga). Now onto the point of this review. You see, I’m a big fan of musicals. And there’s a musical that I think has songs that would be perfect for this game. The musical is called Epic, and it’s about the Greek epic of The Odyssey, which is the journey of Odysseus and his 600 men returning to Ithaca after the Trojan war. And you two have the same thing in common, which is cool songs with drums. I hope you take my idea into consideration. Thank you, and have a good rest of your days! (Ps, you can listen to Epic on Spotify. To help make it less confusing, Epic is split into 2 Acts, with albums called Sagas. There is, however, a specific order of how you must listen to them. The order is as follows: Troy, Cyclops, Ocean, Circe, Underworld, Thunder, Wisdom, Vengeance, and Ithaca. I hope you enjoy listening to it. Thank you and goodbye 😊

Maybe it's a region thing? Not the same songs as shown in the preview video

I'm not sure if it's a regional thing, but I've been looking for some songs that were shown in the preview video like Hyakka Ryouran and Saitama 2000, but they're not there. Maybe they were a limited time thing, maybe they're only available in Asia? I don't know, but it seems like false advertising to me.

It's good

The game is pretty good but the levels are hard

It scammed me because I got it and it didn’t say I completed and inaccurate star ratings

:(
