Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival Reviews
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a great game, and I would argue that this is the best entry point for beginners to the Taiko games. Perhaps the only thing that prevents it from being a perfect title for everyone is the lack of a diverse minigame selection and the fact that you’re almost required to sign your soul in a subscription model to expand your playtime. Still, otherwise, it has a solid music selection with online support, making it a respectable and formidable package for both new and old fans of the series.
Rhythm Festival is easily the most complete and accessible game in the series. Its insane amount of content ensures that it will have a long life, and its monetization options - with the exception of the initial price - aren't particularly bad. It's a delight that the game that's finally most accessible to the PC audience is such a solid one, as it feels like a solid reward after so many years of waiting. Whether you're a newcomer looking to discover the series, or a veteran looking for something new, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is the best of what this quirky series has to offer.

Taiko no Tatsujin has always been a fun rhythm game. The new Rhythm Festival series is the best entry point for beginners who want to learn more about Bandai Namco's music game, but there are still some concerns about the model chosen for paying for the many additional tracks not found in the basic edition.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a fantastic rhythm game that is now available on all platforms. It offers a nice selection of songs in different genres, feels great when played and is very colorful and weird. Using a virtual city as a menu isn’t great and not being able to just play and get all the experience points to level up feels bad. But it’s still a fantastic title that looks and sounds amazing.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival finally arrives on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S without losing any of its charm that made it a great title on the Nintendo Switch. With a splendid tracklist and consistently fun gameplay, Bandai Namco’s production also features a handful of well-structured additional modes to break up the usual progression. The online component keeps players engaged. However, the lack of compatibility with older Taiko controllers forces those seeking the most authentic experience to purchase a new, expensive dedicated piece of plastic.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival has the same core gameplay as other Taiko titles, but it continues to be a fun rhythm game that's easy to learn and hard to master (especially in the higher difficulties). Though the highlight of this new release is the various game modes that it has, including the story mode.
aiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival continues the saga of expanding the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise to the West with charisma and quality. This Switch-exclusive adventure is one of the best in the saga to date thanks to a varied repertoire, a series of unlockables, and multiple control and accessibility options for new players.

Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is another welcome addition to the drum hero series. With so many different styles of songs to pick from, and not just having to play song after song with no variety, it’s one of the easiest versions of the series to pick up and play.
