DEEMO -Reborn-

DEEMO -Reborn-

DEEMO -Reborn- is a musical, beautiful & charming experience, in which it combines

rhythmic arcade-ish gameplay (hitting keys at the right time, in the same essence as OSU!mania/DJMax etc)

& solving clever and semi-demanding riddles/puzzles, so that you can unlock more songs to play, more areas to explore

& to progress the story further.

The Story is quite mystical & very emotional, with many but short cutscenes and a few dialogues that explains what’s going on. Voice over is only in Japanese (with english subtitles ofc)

I’m honestly so split with this port of the game. I feel like it’s a lot easier to play with keyboard, which is both good and bad. I’m glad it makes it more accessible to others, but now this is just like the NS port all over again. If you play on this version people are more likely to think you aren’t as skilled because now you can just hold SPACE and don’t have to wiggle joysticks.

Plus the fact that VK songs, Cytus 1 & 2, Egoist, AND Rayark 3 packs aren’t available is extremely disappointing. Because of the loss of almost 20 songs, the game feels a lot more empty and I’m just more tempted to boot my PS4 up to play Alone with you or Parousia.

Sayonara Wild Hearts

This game touched me in a way no other game did before. The gorgeous visuals and the best ost I ever heard, paired with a compelling and subtle narrative, and gameplay that is simple but engaging turns It into an experience that transcends the limitations of its own media.

The only downside this game has is that its visuals, despite being one of Its strongest points also limits its acessibility. My girlfriend is photosensitive and this game is not easy on her eyes, which is a shame, since I wish she could experience Sayonara wild hearts as well.

Super Dodgeball Beats

Great game, this game definitely deserves more attention.

The game feels well polished, and the art is really nice. It only has a few song, though it has just enough for a rhythm game. But the music is really energetic, catchy and really fun. But some songs are only playable in certain difficulties, which limits the amount of song even more. It would be great if these songs were available for each difficulty. There are 3 difficulties and each difficulty has 12 songs. But in total there are a actually 18 playable songs.

Super Dodgeball Beats is a tap-to-the-rhythm game at it’s core, with a heaping load of personality in design, animation, and artistic styling. The basic flow of the game is not exactly a game of dodgeball as we typically know, since the win/loss conditions of each match plays out more like tug-of-war, having a meter at the top of the screen that sways to either your team or the opponent depending on how well each team performs. Powerups are gained by filling a secondary meter, which increases as you hit notes with good timing, and are used to hinder the opposing team, or help your own when they unleash an attack on you. The goal of each match is to finish the song with the central meter leaning on your side of the bar, leading to victory by dealing one massively stylised killing blow and knocking out the other team and progressing up the points ladder to reach a bracket style elimination tournament, and eventually win the finals for each level of difficulty.

SOUNDART

Take air tone and beat saber and bang them together. =]

jokes aside, holy cow this is everything any could want in a rythm game. in my opinion this is more fun than playing beat saber. Being able to play your own maps makes this game already a+, but the dev’s didn’t stop there….somehow it can take literally any song you own and generate a playable map, no labor required….just insane.

Edit 4.6.20 6:17 am - Also VRM avatars are importable, which is a plus as well. I recommend pulling avatars off “VRoid Hub” (google it). They offer really cool avatars for free, simlpe as 1 click! Then just Move the file into:

Soundart is another VR rhythm game where you hit blocks. The gimmick of this one is the use of the ‘petal’ interface- you’re more hitting petals in time of when the blocks cross them than hitting the blocks themselves. I assure you it makes sense in context. It gives you the ability to play to your own music, which has its advantages, but also its drawbacks- generated maps just aren’t as good as curated maps. It’s something people complain about endlessly when it comes to Beat Saber, but in general the maps there- both official and user made- are better.

I highly recommend giving this game a try! The minimalistic style and addictive one-button gameplay creates a really fun experience. One of the best parts of this game is the mass amount of community levels. There are seemingly endless amounts of levels to play. The level editor is simple and easy to use, but really powerful and allows for lots of creativity to let you make your own levels. I’ve played the game for about a year now on mobile and I say it is worth your time.

If you’re coming from games that expand their content from community-based creations like Geometry Dash, you might want to grab OCO!

In my opinion, this game’s biggest strength is the level editor, which is very simple, intuitive and wonderfully easy to use. From the 7 different blocks you can place in a level, the possibilities to make intricate and clever gameplay are large. Level sharing is just as straightforward, there’s a massive “explore” menu where you can browse creations from people all over the world.

This is a temporary WARNING review as the game is currently unplayable for many users. The last update introduced many bugs which make the game literary unplayable for many players and unpleasant to play for others. It came out on Friday and there was no fix nor any sort of communication from the devs since. The least they could do is to rollback to a previous version and at least apologize, but there is nothing.

The biggest issue being that you can’t play ANY levels, you just get stuck on purple screen with music in the background while no inputs register, you must force close the game to get out.

Great introduction to rhythm games, easy to start with but there’s a lot of challenge as well. Basically, just tap the keys to smash the enemies to the rhythm of the song.

At the base price, this game is a steal. If you like the basegame, get the DLC, you won’t be disappointed.

I definitely recommend unless the weeabooish graphics and music are totally not your thing. Personally I think the songs are mostly bangers and the girls are cute. And Rin is the best girl.

Played this in vrchat and honestly it’s really fun. ^^ I hope to see a option for custom songs? similar to BeatSabers mods. The problem I have is the blue note. They work better in this game then in vrchat. In vrchat, they kinda delay a bit? idk if that’s a vrchat issue or not, hopefully that gets fixed. Overall it’s not a bad game I hope to see more content.

This game made me feel like in the 80’s. It is very nice that the movements of the cars are compatible with the rhythm of music so that I can be caught up myself in the rhythm of the music and feel the music.

The game soundtracks are very good, I think it was created specifically for the game. It is open to development, the menu style is nice, I think the brightness could ought a little less.

The pleasure I got was worth the price for I paid absolutely. I am ready to pay 7$ just for the soundtracks in the game!

Bought this game to play casually while in COVID-19 lockdown. Not at all disappointed.

If you are a fan of 80’s retro/outrun aesthetic, this game delivers.

Pros:

-Original Outrun/Synthwave style soundtrack

-Lighting and reflections are awesome

-Satisfying to play

-3 difficulties and a practice mode for each level

-Developers are accessible though Discord

-Realistic goals for Early Access

Cons:

-Menus (Early Access)

-Currently there is no 4K support, control bindings, or controller options.
