==Gameplay==
The gameplay consists of tapping notes as they slide toward the bottom to the rhythm of a chosen song; players have to tap, slide and flick to match new free-form rhythm notes, and special yellow notes that are worth more points towards your score. The overall gameplay is similar to BanG Dream! and Project Sekai, the players are given 1,000 health points to clear a song, and one can adjust song speed and difficulty to their liking. In lieu of an energy system that is prevalent in most free-to-play games, the game utilizes Live Boosts that increases rewards for completing a song, and players can continue playing even when they run out of boosts.
Players gain experience points (EXP) by clearing songs and listening to overworld conversations between characters. Such talks are fully voiced with 2.5D movement via Live2D technology, and their conversations are depicted in a visual novel-style presentation that is prepared for each group. Further dialogues are added over time through events. EXP also improves a unit's rank, which unlocks additional chapters in group stories. Cards, which use a star ranking system to determine rarity (four stars being the rarest), are acquired via the gacha system, a luck-based mechanic in which players spend the in-game currency Crystals with the hope of winning their desired cards. Although Dimension Rhythm is a free-to-play game, players can spend real-life money to acquire more crystals.
The game also features Virtual Concerts, a mode where players can go to a virtual concert, similar to augmented reality, where players can interact with one another. They can see other players all around the world and their favorite group performing via 3D animation.
