    Gal Metal not only offers a hilarious interactive manga story,but also an original approach to the rhythm game genre that shakes things up enough to set itself apart from pretty much everything else.

    Gal Metal’s fun, silly story is a super-cute gateway to the driving rhythms of metal drumming, and once you’ve got a few rhythms in your head, it pays off in a way that makes you want to learn more.

    Gal Metal is a game with bold choices. The Joy-Con motion controls are interesting, and tightly fit the ideas of the title. In addition, the idea to create your own jams upon existing layers works surprisingly well. That being said, for most, this will be a one-and-done deal. You will play through it and be done after an hour or five. Beyond this, there isn't much to the package, though I do find myself replaying tracks a tiny bit. It really depends on what you're searching for, but as a music game, it certainly knows how to entertain.

    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 »
