Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« At its heart, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is just more Taiko—the foundational rhythm game hasn’t changed a whole lot since Drum ‘n’ Fun. But that’s only because it doesn’t need to: the taiko drumming core, and the only thing a new entry really needs is new songs to play with. That’s what Rhythm Festival delivers, with a strong base tracklist and huge additional selection with the Taiko Drum Pass. Fun minigames help round out the package, but it’s that rock solid rhythm foundation and endless charm that make Rhythm Festival a must for music game fans. »
« If you've never experienced the Taiko no Tatsujin franchise, this is going to be the perfect entry point for players. With the new Taiko Music Pass, you'll have access to more music than ever before, and with its abundant customization options for your character and playstyle, you'll become a master Donder in no time. You'll need the patience to learn and grow, but once you do, it's the best feeling around. »
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch library, but one that needs to have its DLC handled a bit better even with the Taiko Music Pass. The base game has enough to justify the asking price, but the real star is how much you get for the optional Taiko Music Pass that dramatically increases what is available in-game. Hopefully future updates and DLC bring in more game music and some VTuber songs. »
« Rhythm games aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re looking to get into one, look no further. Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a wonderful entry game and if you get it bundled with the drum controller, there’ll be no stopping you. If you don’t want to shell out for the controller, that’s ok. Playing it in the other three modes is equally as fun. There’s a large range of music types so there’s a little bit of something for everyone. Whether you’re just dipping your toes in or a veteran rhythm player, the amount of content in the base game alone without the music pass will be sure to give you endless hours of playtime. »
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival, the musical series returns with a more varied and rich chapter than ever. »
« While those more familiar with the series might have some gripes, Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival was an excellent introduction for me. No worries about being overly skilled at these types of games; you’ll have a good time, especially if you have friends in the room for a party-type setting. But even more solo gamers will have the main story and many unlockables to keep them busy. Whether competing or cooperating, this could be a ton of fun for family gatherings. »
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is yet another colourful and adorable rhythm game in an excellent series. Its Great Drum Toy War mode helps shake things up and the online and local multiplayer components are genuinely a great deal of fun. »
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is a great rhythm game for the Nintendo Switch. It has an excellent selection of songs for lovers of anime, J-Pop, Vocaloid, and gaming music. The game modes feel refreshed and have a clear purpose of unlocking something here and there. We found the ultimate game for taiko fans. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Really simple, but really fun! Too bad that most of the content is locked behind the Taiko Music Pass, besides that, it’s a great rhythm game. »
« My wife and I love playing on the Switch... The game is very responsive and has a huge music library. »
« Horrible compared to Drum ‘n’ Fun. They literally decided to delete Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun just to replace it with an expensive game that hits you with an overwhelming story mode and a battle-pass-like system every single time you load in. The only good thing this game does is the subscription that lets you play a lot of songs… but that’s literally it. Party Mode? Very limited. No really fun minigames… oh wait! There is a fun game, yeah, the orchestra mode, where you can play like an orchestra with friends. Sounds cool, right? How many songs are in that mode? Well, my friend… there’s only FOUR SONGS. FOUR SONGS in the only fun minigame in Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival. Honestly, wouldn’t recommend buying this. It’s just… disappointing. »
« Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival is great, this is true (at least for me) but the reason I'm not giving a 10 is that you need to pay extra for the best experience on Taiko no Tatsujin, such as a tatacon (the little plastic drum) and a Taiko Music Pass that grants you over 700 songs. Luckily each Nintendo Account has a 7 day trial. Anyways highly recommend purchasing it. »
« Insanely predatory pricing. The base game costs $60, and the song list costs $5 per month. The marketing and storefront descriptions hide the game's cost of full price + monthly subscription. »
« It's pretty decent for the next taiko game on console! Not a fan of the story, as it's blatantly directed to five-year-olds, but what did I expect? Still though!! great taiko no tatsujin experience! the music pass is nice, I'm glad they added it rather than having to purchase every DLC individually. I wish they had mini games like drum n fun and the other predecessors had. »
« Oh my god this game is amazing. A huge selection of songs to choose from, and even more with a reasonably priced subscription service that is way more than worth the 4 bucks a month it costs. But if you don't want to pay, there's also three other game modes and online multiplayer, ranked and causal. There are also chapters to a story you can unlock by leveling up, and you unlock all of them by level 91. But you also unlock coins and lots of cool outfits you can buy in the shop with the in game currency. Besides the subscription service and a couple of song packs, there are no microtransactions, so you can only get the coins by leveling up and playing songs. Also, Don-chan is the **** best and I love him HOLY **** HE'S SO CUTE AND KATSU-CHAN TOO WHAT THE FU- »
« To a westerner, complete insanity. 10 different japanese girls who sound way too young screaming at you at the same time, but you have literally no idea what they're saying and you don't have time to look at the text, because everything is so damn cutely drawn. While overwhelming at times, after a few hours of gameplay, it's a one a of a kind experience, which I will show to everyone I meet, who likes gaming. »
