I got this game free on another platform and played it for a couple of hours.
While it uses the League of Legends name, it bears little resemblance beyond using it as a backdrop and referencing one or two characters.
The story is simple: You play Ziggs; he loves to blow things up; the end.
Per se, it is a standard rhythm game. In theory, you could play it with the music off, as long as you have a solid feel for the beat. But the way it is intended to be played is on full volume, meaning that a good pair of headphones is kinda mandatory.
Since you are more or less forced to play with the game music on, I recommend you watch a let's play video first, to get an idea of the music style. If you find the music isn't your cup of tea, don't bother with the game, because you are going to hear the same tracks over and over and over again. If anybody ever forced you to sit through a ten-hour loop of “baby shark”, you will know why it is important that you LOVE the style before you dive in.
The game controls on keyboard (as well as the touch controls on Android) are frustrating to use, and hits must be too precise for comfort. To illustrate: a hit rating above 60% requires hours and hours of practice, endless repetition, and a good helping of sheer dumb luck. Getting 100% on each level borders on sadomasochistic tendencies. This is not a casual game; it's a game of skill.
Combine that with the fact, that you absolutely have to reach a certain score in previous levels to advance (reaching the end of a level isn't enough), and it explains the low rating. Repeating the same level over and over again is not everybody's forte--let alone fun.
I highly recommend the game, IF AND ONLY IF you:
- are not too passionate about League of Legends (you might feel disappointed)
- love the music
- have time and patience
- want a challenge
- own good headphones
- and ideally a controller
If this is you, you might enjoy it a lot. Otherwise, steer clear.
