    One of the most esoteric games I've ever played, I can only recommend Gal Metal to the narrowest set of musically blessed Japanophiles around. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 23]

    Gal Metal has a good concept and design, but none of the three controls options modes gives full satisfaction to the player.

    It wants to be a drumming game where you drum the joy-cons to specific combinations to the beat of the song, but it just fails. Several timesIt wants to be a drumming game where you drum the joy-cons to specific combinations to the beat of the song, but it just fails. Several times the joy con will either not pick up or pick up twice failing the combo. Now you can still beat the game as long as you can do the beginner combos, but if you ever wanted to try for a higher score, you'd just want to not use the motion controls at all. It looks cute but skip it. Full Review »

    As a female drummer, it's very interesting. They only give you two operable pieces, the snare and the floor tom (or bass drum). SometimesAs a female drummer, it's very interesting. They only give you two operable pieces, the snare and the floor tom (or bass drum). Sometimes they switch the snare up to a cymbal, but not in every beat. I found the joy cons to be not so accurate in recording my motions. I was playing the game without a TV so maybe once I distance myself from the switch it will improve. It's a cute story, very cute graphics and interesting. It wouldn't be on my top list of games but it's not a total letdown either. Full Review »
