About this game
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival centers on drumming in time with music. Choose a song and difficulty, then work on the performance; Improvement Support lets you isolate troublesome sections and repeat them at a chosen speed. Performance results also award crowns, building crown points toward rewards. Omiko City brings DON-chan and Kumo-kyun into this musical setting. Alongside individual practice, DON-chan Band lets up to four players cooperate, while Great Drum Toy War adds toy-deck construction to rhythm battles. Each participant needs a controller for multiplayer. In handheld mode, the solo performance game also supports touch-screen play. Additional subscription songs belong to the separately paid Taiko Music Pass.
Collected in series
Taiko no Tatsujin turns songs into patterns of red and blue notes, asking you to strike the drumhead or rim in time. Its cheerful drumming runs from arcade cabinets to home games, where keeping a combo alive makes a familiar tune feel like your own performance.

A useful match for rhythm players who want focused practice alongside shared performance modes.

- Band cooperation and toy-deck battles give group play different objectives.
Who it is for: Players who enjoy practicing musical timing, as well as groups interested in cooperative performances or rhythm battles.
Play notes: Taiko Music Pass is a separate paid subscription; its songs are not part of the standard game's included subscription entitlement.
