Each game has a unique premise that drives the rhythm. Part of what makes RHM stand out is the quirky nature of the rhythm games. Since the game also rewards “superb” ratings for getting at least 80 Flow, the feedback stars are excellent additions that serve to improve your timing and sense of rhythm. Getting the minimum 60 Flow to conquer a game is pretty simple with the feedback stars guiding you. Otherwise, yellow stars will appear closer to the left or right sides depending on if you were too early or too late.

A colorful array of stars shine from the middle if you got the beat perfectly. Built-in feedback stars on the bottom screen indicate how close you were to hitting the notes. RHM grades your performance on a “Flow” meter, with Flow measuring how many beats you accurately hit and how close you are to a perfect beat. Additionally, the short lengths allow you to practice and improve. These bite-sized intervals are perfect for quick portable sessions. The rhythm games are all fairly short, with the average song lasting one to two minutes. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is out in the west? Wubba dubba dubba that’s true! For veterans who want to dive straight in, the tutorials are skippable. Thankfully, before you begin each game for the first time, a helpful tutorial ensures that you get the hang of its particular beat, cues, and instructions. The timing eventually becomes harder, introducing syncopated, faster tempos to throw you off. As the games become harder, the inputs become more complicated, asking you to press different buttons for each cue. All are easy to learn and require very simple button presses (or as an option, touchscreen taps). Some games have you follow simple cues that go along with the song while others ask you to keep a steady beat throughout. The games vary, both in terms of playstyle and music.

The gameplay of RHM centers on rhythm games, in which you press buttons to the beat of the song. Brand new rhythm games join classic favorites in one portable compilation! Gameplay While it’s unfortunate that this game is mostly a best-of compilation, new challenges and repurposed minigames give both newcomers and veterans a reason to get back into the rhythm. Although the game is filled with a breadth of enjoyable content, a sizable portion of it is borrowed from the first 3 games in the series. Like its predecessors, RHM features plenty of quirky, musical minigames that test your ability to follow a beat. Rhythm Heaven Megamix is the 4 th game in the Rhythm Heaven series.
