Clearing a song on master though is still attainable even to someone as completely disassociated from rhythmic ability as me (seriously, you should see me dance). That being said, the jump up to Hard is a doozy and the gap from hard to master is frankly just as big if not bigger. Now, now, I’m no heretic, hard or master is still where the real meat is, but it’s good to have an easy mode that doesn’t feel too easy or disconnected from the tune. There are enough notes to make it feel like you’re still playing along with the songs, but it’s still easy to miss a note if you get complacent. Something else Muse Dash does exceedingly well is make easy mode accessible but still like it’s part of the music. Even better is that you don’t need to use the buttons at all and can instead tap either the left or right side of the Switch’s touch screen, which, for me, is the better way to play. Making it so that you’re not flummoxed by the button placements is a genius idea and really helps you to concentrate on hitting those beats. Take a hit or miss an enemy and your combo resets to zero – it’s basic rhythm action stuff, but it’s in the simplicity of the controls that you get drawn in. Sequential hits fill up a combo counter and the higher your combo the more points you earn. This means that when the game does mix things up by throwing a blue saw blade on the floor, it’s coloured blue to indicate to jump over it. These enemies are colour-coded, too, so blue enemies indicate the D-pad button to be pressed, while pink ones are for X. As enemies scroll from right to left across the screen, you’ll need to press either the right D-pad button or the X button, each one corresponding to either an enemy on the top row or the bottom – it couldn’t be simpler. Muse Dash is looking to succeed in doing what other games have failed and that’s by making rhythm action simple: there’s no multitude of button layouts to remember or an assault of icons flying around here you’re asked to press two buttons and yet in regards to the rhythm, nothing is lost. In fact, the thing that these admittedly excellent games have been lacking, is simplicity. But as the genre has evolved and changed, if anything the ways to play have gotten more complex, as if that’s the way to draw you in.
#HERETIC GAME DASH CONTROLS FULL#
It’s a genre full of excellent music, and it really helps you get into the tunes you’re playing along to. Rhythm action games have seen considerable changes over the years, from pressing buttons in time to playing guitars, DJ turntables, a Taiko Drum and slicing blocks in Beat Saber.
