Meet Kumo-Kyun
In the game, players get to sharpen their drumming skills in Taiko Mode which has 76 songs. There is also the Story Mode where players go on a journey to becoming a Drum Master. They are accompanied on this adventure by DON-Chan and Kumo-Kyun.
Kumo-Kyun is a new character that players meet in Omiko City. He’s going to serve as the player’s guide through the city and help them transform into different shapes. This is what makes the game truly exciting as the sound of drums being played by both the player and DON-Chan, combined with the Thunder Power of Kumo-Kyun, is sure to excite the city.
