Musynx has been a notable rhythm game release on mobile devices over the past two years, featuring over 100,000 downloads on the Android market alone. This touch-screen driven rhythm game had players tap along to Chinese tunes but some players might have preferred to play something more tactile. Now, Musynx has arrived on consoles in North America, from both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita as well as the Nintendo Switch. How does Musynx stack up as part of PM Studios’ growing commitment to bringing rhythm titles stateside?

Musynx’s core gameplay of tapping along to notes that fall down a vertical highway is nothing new for the rhythm genre. It’s a formula that titles along the likes of Rock Band and DJ Max have perfected over the years. Players can opt for either a four or six-key play style with two different difficulty settings, good for easing your way into learning the trickier patterns and note combinations. The shift from a mobile touchscreen to button interface lead to a few concessions, such as removing notes that slide across from one zone of the screen to the next. Instead, the systems have been streamlined to only require tapping or holding a note as it crosses the bottom of the screen.
