Our take on Symmodance
The feature list claims five modes, while the detailed section names only Classic, Endless, and Hardcore. The description also foregrounds rhythm, but the stated mechanics focus on shooting, evasion, upgrades, items, and random events rather than a defined rhythm system.
What is Symmodance?

Listed modes include Classic, Endless, and Hardcore, with the feature summary also referring to five modes. Enemies and bosses use distinct challenges, while weapons gain strength as progress is made.
