Our Expert Score

78/100

If you miss the glory days of plastic guitars and scrolling frets, Rhythmetallic is a love letter to the metalhead community. It swaps out pop hits for heavy riffs and double-bass drumming, offering a much needed edge to the mobile rhythm genre. The interface is clean, mimicking the classic 4-lane or 5-lane 'hero' style layout that veterans will find instantly familiar.

What stands out here is the sheer variety of metal sub-genres. From power metal to deathcore, the tracks are expertly mapped to provide a genuine challenge. The 'hero' aspect comes through in the lead guitar sections, which require fast tapping and sustained holds that actually feel like you're shredding. It’s a niche title, but for fans of heavy music, it’s easily one of the best rhythmic experiences on the App Store.

Actually Sick🤟
Sat May 15 2021 Christan is a butt.

Probably like many other people, i found this game through an ad on instagram. Saw the gameplay and heard the music and through it looked pretty cool. Now that i’ve actually played it, I actually love it; I love how the controls are comfortable, the songs are amazing, it’s actually a challenge, and there’s even a leaderboard for your scores. Definitely one of the best rhythm games on the app store. I look forward to updates in the future as I will keep playing.

Too many faults
Tue Nov 12 2024 El muñeco 94

I really enjoy this game but unfortunately it has way too many faults to recommend it 100% like inability to play offline and software faults like inability to transfer account information when upgrading. I just recently upgraded my phone to the new 16 pro and when I tried to launch the game and play for a bit there’s an error saying another Apple device is using the account, forcing me to start the game in guest mode to play and can barely enjoy my experience then because all the songs I paid for to play are now locked. The second biggest complaint is an inability to use the game offline, i travel a lot for work and have on countless occasions been wanting to start this game to play a few songs while on the plane to an error message saying im offline and the game unable to launch, which if the only thing stopping me is for the leaderboards to update and can’t even play it unless I have a stable internet connection after I’ve paid for so many songs already, it is unacceptable.

great game ( kinda niche songs )

Love the gameplay would love to be able to play vertically and be able to drag notes but other than that the gameplay is perfect. Calibration is great and inputs feel responsive. My only personal downside other than not being able to play vertically is the music selection is lacking is other genres of metal i would love some kaonashi, mouthbreather,or sunami.

Almost perfect

As a metal head i really dig the songs in this game. It also has really cool art designs. The part that I don’t like that much is the control system. some times I feel like the pattern is too simple but sometimes it’s really hard to cross lines. maybe can add some scrolls or something like some of the other music games, add some variations to the pattern. Anyway, i like this game, I hope there will be more songs, more genres and improvements on the control system.

Finally a rhythm game I can get behind

Find this game through Instagram. Another fantastic targeted ad. With how much air drumming I do, it's nice to fill that time hearing the other instruments and feeling validated on my truly incredible tapping 😂. I immediately got the djent song pack and they're good songs. There's a serious void out there for this type of rhythm game. I just wish there was a meshuggah pack 😁

Freaking Amazing 🤘🏼

This is the best mobile Guitar Hero style game by a landslide. A couple things I would like to see are an offline version, so you can play without Wi-Fi or data. More(and actual) rock songs added in. And this is a BIG ask but it would be the most amazing thing if y’all added in a Christian metal pack. Again, BIG ask but it would be amazing.

Good game

Pretty cool game but sometimes it seems like the input might be a little delayed but that might just be my phone. Also it seems like whenever you miss one the game stops registering other ones for a little so you miss more until the chain breaks but that might once again just be me or my phone

Been enjoying the game, but one minor detail has made some songs really annoying
Fri Mar 22 2024 Livingfortodat

I really don’t like how the score sits right in the middle of the chart, often obscuring my ability to see the notes that are coming down the middle lane. Perhaps having an option to turn this off or move it to the side would be nice. There are some songs I can’t beat because of this
