How it feels

Tapping along to a cheerful, fast-paced drum circle with a wide song selection, from easy fun to intense precision.

What players say

Players love the core taiko drumming and say it runs well on most PCs, but almost every review warns the game is overpriced, the base song list is small, most songs require a monthly subscription or costly DLC, and one player notes the subscription lacks some arcade staples like classic hits. Online is frequently empty, and many advise waiting for a sale or playing osu!taiko instead.
