Be it a new Taiko no Tatsujin game, an indie like LOUD, or even action-rhythm hybrids like Hi-Fi Rush or Metal: Hellsinger, we’ve been getting enough stuff to satiate our needs. At least until the eventual arrival of an instrument-based savior once more, to fill that nostalgic void. Rhythm Sprout i...

Rhythm Sprout is a cute introduction to the rhythm genre!
