Melody Mania Reviews

Of all the karaoke games I've played, this one is quite frankly one of the worst. I dont mean its bad, but when I rank it amongst the other popular Karaoke apps, I was expecting so much more out of this one, considering it actually cost money. I had no issue with paying with the assumption I was going to get a BETTER experience than the free apps (Ultrastar, etc). Its mostly on par with the other apps, and in some cases, not as good. My 'dream' for this software was something I could setup and it would be easily navigable by anyone. But upon trying to play, I'm having difficulty just navigating the menu and song folders in a nice straightforward way. Considering this setup was for my family, this game isn't cutting it. I imagine the AI and remove vocal features work nice, I haven't tested them, but the presentation and accessibility, TO ME, is the most important part. This should be able to be easily controlled by a kid with a controller who wants to play with his friends, but instead I'm stumbling through getting it to work the way I want to as an adult. Again, not saying its bad, but it should be better than its free counterparts. I do like the different modes it has, and the additions that are available, but the inability to scroll through song folders [which are well organized by artist] was a pain. Changed the navigation mode to folder only made it worse than just scrolling to the right for a long time. This should be the first part perfected. All the other features matter little if its not as polished as other Karaoke systems.

Awful game, I bought it on the steam deck mainly for the AI charting feature and it’s just so bad. Even with the simplest song it struggles with lyrics. And I was only able to test that feature because I had to manually select the .mp3 file. Because the game wouldn’t recognize folders no matter what drive it was in or how the folders were labeled. DO NOT BUY ON THE STEAM DECK
