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.

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.
