What to Expect from the “Metal Legends” DLC
Released by PotamWorks, this expansion delivers a new layer of excitement and difficulty to Smash Drums. Here’s what makes the “Metal Legends” DLC a must-have:
- Legendary Track List:
The pack features rock classics such as Motörhead, Ace of Spades, Megadeth’s “Hangar 18” and Bullet For My Valentine’s “Waking the Demon,” together creating an explosive setlist that will see players smashing drums in time with face-melting riffs from iconic guitarists. - Increased Difficulty Levels:
This is a DLC for those who don’t scare easy. PotamWorks has designed these levels to really test your skill, meaning sharper rhythms, crazier drum patterns and more demanding beat maps. They are also advised to ‘warm up’ before attempting the songs, i.e. practice beforehand so they have a rough idea of what’s coming. - Immersive VR Drumming Experience:
That way the whole metal drumming experience is really captured in Smash Drums, with their realistic VR mechanics. Every track has been created to deliver a true concert experience with players preparing themselves center stage, in front of thousands-strong audiences and stunning visuals that react perfectly to their drum strikes.
Why “Metal Legends” is a Game-Changer for Smash Drums
The inclusion of the “Metal Legends” DLC elevates Smash Drums to a new level in VR for rhythm game fans. Having heard the clamour for harder drumming tracks, PotamWorks has launched this extension and it doesn’t disappoint. Perfect for new and seasoned drummers alike, this DLC hones in on hand eye coordination, speed, and endurance to provide a truly different experience with each playthrough.
Future of Smash Drums Content
The addition of “Metal Legends” should be the first new thing we’ll see PotamWorks expand this year, but there seems to hint more updates on other selected tracks and maybe even complete genre-based expansions in later half-year. Fans are eager to see what the future holds and how we hope that game will grow with updates.
Final Thoughts
The “Metal Legends” track pack for Smash Drums is a strong win on this end, especially considering how these two pieces of content turn an already enjoyable VR drumming experience into head banging rock out. The DLC is live on the Meta Quest store now, retailing for $25.51 a perfect entry point weaving into rhythm fans desire to experience this fierce music battle and make names of their own as legends.
