Cytus And Cytus 2

The Cytus games have an extraordinary amount of songs for you to choose from, and the variety of genres pretty much guarantees that you’ll find songs that fit your taste. Both games have stories that focus heavily on their unique robot characters, and Cytus 2’s story has three different endings. Which ending you get depends on your choices throughout the game.

But even ignoring the story entirely, Cytus and Cytus 2’s music is more than good enough to be worth playing. Their visuals are sleek and have a futuristic aesthetic, matching the games’ overall themes. Cytus has two difficulties, while Cytus 2 can have up to six.

Muse Dash

Muse Dash is an immediate eye-catcher from its vibrant and colorful visuals alone. If you’re drawn to the cute art style, you’ll probably stay for the fun music and gameplay. It combines rhythm game elements with 2D side-scroller gameplay. Rather than just showing you what you’re tapping on a screen, Muse Dash’s characters break through attacks from enemies with every successful tap to the music.

There are over 400 songs to choose from, and most of them are as lively as the visuals and characters. There are some chiller songs too, but they still have some funky beats that’ll have your head bopping to them.

Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage

Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage is a must-try if you like the Project Diva games or Vocaloid in general. There are five groups, each with its own genre and vibe. The characters in each group match the vibes in their own way, so you’re bound to have a favorite group and character.

Most of the songs are covers of existing Vocaloid songs, but there are many original songs made for the groups as well. A good number of the songs have 3D music videos, so you can watch the characters dance as you play. You can freely switch characters and give them unique costumes, so watching the music videos never gets boring.

Bang Dream Girls Band Party

Bang Dream Girls Band Party has been around for years now, which shows just how charming it is. Similarly to Colorful Stage, there are multiple bands, each with a specific focus on a genre of music. During gameplay, you can see adorable mini cutout versions of the characters you’ve set playing along to the song.

You can choose between Story mode and Live mode when playing. If you’re not a story person, Live mode lets you play any of the songs you’ve unlocked without any worries. You can purchase songs from the music shop in the game using Sound Crystals. Overall, the game is full of personality and will have you playing for a while.

Ensemble Stars Music

Ensemble Stars Music might seem like your typical idol game, but its story can get surprisingly dark. There are more characters than you know what to do with, but they all manage to stand out from each other because of their designs and personalities. The idols are split into different groups, but the songs they specialize in aren’t in the typical genres you’d expect.

For example, one of the groups focuses on songs about being heroes, while another tends to have themes of Christianity with a twist. Every song has a 3D music video that you can put any of the idols in, and there are constant challenges and events to keep you engaged.

2

Voez

Right off the bat, you can tell how much heart Voez has in it. Its interface is simple but stylish, and its gameplay is easy to get the hang of while still being challenging. Its story is more interactive than other games because you’ll have to complete certain challenges for songs to go onto the next chapter.

Voez has over 250 songs by a bunch of different artists. You can play the songs on Easy, Hard, or Special difficulty, so you can play them whether you’re a beginner or a pro at rhythm games.

1

Deemo

If you like the idea of rhythm games but aren’t into upbeat music, Deemo could be the perfect rhythm game for you. All of its music is composed using classical instrumentals, especially the piano. The aesthetic and tone are somber and haunting, and the piano motif is everywhere.

The story plays a somewhat important part in the game, as it’s about a girl who’s lost her memory and is trying to return to her world. She has the help of Deemo, a mysterious figure who lives by themselves in a castle. As you play through every touching song, you come closer to unlocking her memories. Altogether, the game is a beautiful but melancholic experience.
