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 is a fresh offering in the musical genre... but some areas are a little bit ¿weird? Only classical music (with a rock paint coat) or the detection errors from the Joy-Con, ruin part of the joy. Also, the "over the top" Japanese adventure touches, and social elements, take the player far from the core (feel like a drummer).

The Story Mode is very charming, the songs are metal! To achieve a lot of points you have to master the free rhythm system and it feels rewarding when it clicks.

this game is f#%king awesome and if you like rhythm games at all it is a MUST buy. all the negative reviews are misunderstanding what the game was intended to be. it's not a bad thing that there are no button prompts, because the point is to improvise and be creative. if you're completely lost without looking at some kind of guide at all times then that's on you, and if you have a good sense of rhythm then you will not have any difficulty learning this game. i have never had so much fun just messing around in practice mode in a game before.

While there may be plenty of things I’d like to change in Gal Metal, the core of the game is an unmistakably fun time. With so many heavy hitters on the market in 2018, sometimes you need to just sit down, unwind, and out-play alien invaders with electrified versions of classical music.
Gal Metal is an average rhythm game that definitely falls in the “lost potential” category. With the huge falter that is the main plotline, the most appealing part of the main campaign would be the character interactions. Gameplaywise, Gal Metal is a novel concept that is ultimately limited by the accuracy of the motion control hardware.
Gal Metal has some great ideas, but fails to execute them soundly. It tries to break the mould of rhythm games by giving players more agency over how they play. There’s a big difference between removing the training wheels and removing the headlight though, and with a lack of proper guidance and feedback on what the player is doing, Gal Metal feels more like cycling in the dark than it ought to. Charming characters and a cute story redeem the package somewhat, but it’s still a bit of a chore to play through the music segments between those narrative beats.
Depending on your own musical talents, Gal Metal can be cute and satisfying, or dull and frustrating.
Gal Metal has a good concept and design, but none of the three controls options modes gives full satisfaction to the player.
As 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.

This was just bad. A rhythm game that has no rhythm. Just play Guitar Hero On Tour.

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 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.
