BoomBox

Game is fun, but AI adverts are not fun

Drop the genAI, please. Extremely disappointed, was willing to give it another try nowadays until I saw that.

追記：開発者から難易度を変えてはどうかという返答があったので、メニューをよく見たら曲ごとの難易度選択の部分を見落としていた。選曲時にデフォルトで最高難易度になっているので、そのままプレイすると難しいのも当然。曲によって難易度の数値も違うので、一番簡単な曲を一番低い難易度でプレイしたら普通に楽しめた。よって評価を赤から青に変更しておきます。猫が可愛いし。 ここから下は最初のレビュー： 猫が出ているから買ったが、難易度が高すぎて全然楽しくない。リストの一番上の曲を選んでもミス連発で十秒程度で終了。リストの二番目も同様。このゲームの曲をクリア出来る人は人間じゃないと思う。ミスしても曲途中でゲームオーバーにならないように設定は出来るが、続けているとややこしくて頭がおかしくなる。あまりに難しすぎて普通の人にはおすすめできない。 BepInExとXUnityAutoTranslatorで日本語に自動翻訳が可能だが文字の大きさや色の関係でちょっと読みにくい。OverrideFontTextMeshPro=とFallbackFontTextMeshPro=の両方にフォントを設定しないと文字が片目しか表示されなかったりする。

Nice rythm game. It can be quite unforgiving since the songs stops after to many mistakes, where other games would just let you finish with a lower score. But this makes it more rewarding when you finaly finish the song. I had three (very) small issues with my first play, which I hope the devs can overcome: - At the beginning the songs arn't loaded. When you select a song and press "Start" the button will react but the track won't start. It will only start when the song is loaded. You know if the song is loaded, if you hear it play and the tv (on the right) will show the track. This should be changed to something more intuitive; for example showing a message when clicking "Start", changing the "Start" button to "Loading" or mentioning this behavior in the tutorial. - The other small issue, was that the first song I tried (top of the list) was quite brutal, couldn't hit anyhing. Maybe it would be handy to place something less difficult at the top when first playing. - I have the impression that it doesn't matter wether I make a swinging motion; as long as the top of the stick hits the drum its fine. Also hitting it with two sticks also seems allowed. These two dirty tricks can make it easyer to finish a song, but I hope this gets punished with a lower score. Despite mentioning some (very) small issues hindering my first play; I am glad I stuck through. The game is very fun, and had me sweating. I also like that it's not punshing or sliceing; the drumsticks are a nice variation which feels more at home in a rythm game then fists or swords.

I'm writing this review despite having only 24 minutes of gameplay because this game already has its hooks in me, now for the reasons why: 1. the quality of the presentation is ridiculously high. the main menu alone is more polished and thought out than about 87% of the rhythm games I've played, VR or not! even downloading custom maps is seamless and polished, including QoL features like ingame downloading progress bars that most people don't even notice unless they aren't there. 2. this game clearly studied from the school of beat saber, but the impressive thing is that despite that it still manages to feel original and unique enough to not be a clone or imitator. the emphasis on drumming mechanics really helps set the thing apart. in beat saber you're mostly using your wrist and not actually moving that much even in advance maps, in this game I almost fell over a few times because of how much arm swinging I had to do. the only possible negative I can think of right now is that there aren't that many custom songs to play, but I imagine that's an issue that will solve itself over time. if you're already a beat saber fanatic I doubt this will pull you away but for anyone who tries a variety of rhythm games (like me) or who's been looking for a fantastic alternative ever since beat saber was bought by facebook (also like me) I can heartily recommend this one, and I can easily say it's my VR rhythm game of choice going forward.

Ragnarock is better in every way.

Fühlt sich wie ein Mix aus beat saber und Ragnarock an. Wenn man lange genug am Stück spielt, könnte man sich einbilden, man haut auf fliegende Katzennäpfe. Kätzchen läuft jedenfalls auf jeder map mit, man ist nicht alleine. Süß gemacht (wenn man Katzen mag). Musik ist eher elektronisch. Man trifft auch hier auf Camellia, und zu meiner Freude auch auf Kobaryo (der meiner Meinung nach viel bessere Musik macht). Custom-maps werden unterstützt, kann man direkt im Spiel runter laden. Auswahl an "drumsticks" vorhanden, verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade, Geschwindigkeit kann eingestellt werden, Multiplayer, macht Spaß, läuft flüssig, maps sehr gut spielbar... Im Prinzip alles da, was man braucht.

just play beat saber, don't support games that use AI

beat saber but with all the fun bits removed

BoomBox is a competent Beat Saber clone where you hit drums from different angles instead of slicing blocks with a lightsaber. The gameplay is basically identical, but the game is not as polished as Meta’s hit game and the graphics aren’t as flashy or stylish. Still, if you are looking for more good Beat Saber alternatives, BoomBox is a game to consider. The OST is fantastic with over 30 licensed songs to choose from. There are also almost 400 royalty free songs for the community to build their own maps that can then be shared directly in the game. Highscore boards keep track of the best players in the world. So plenty of music and motivation to dance and drum to for a low asking price.
