DEEMO

So, I actually started playing this game even before the full thing had released after a friend had recommended it to me (the game originally ended right after you grow the tree to its fullest height). And that was I think about 5 and a half years ago now. And I can not tell you enough that this game is absolutely incredible, and not a money waster. Deemo is a true masterpiece among games. The visuals are stunning, the music is gorgeous, and the story is beautifully written. The story progression is so well done, as you slowly unravel the mystery of the world you have found yourself in (the ending is going to leave you a changed person. And no, that is not an over statement), all while you get to play beautiful scores that feel like people put real heart into them. And there is so much free content, let alone all of the albums you can buy. Each piano piece you play comes with wonderfully drawn art. I guess you could call it the music cover art? And GOOD LORD just the game itself is a ton of fun to play. So, even if you don’t care about story in anyway shape or form, if like or love rhythm games, BUY THIS THING. Thanks for reading, if you got this far, and I really do hope you get this game. You will not regret it. Trust me.

This is my favorite game, of all time, ever. I got this game over i think 2 years ago and played it nonstop. The story is amazing and i hope to god that they make a continuation story in the future years. That said the gameplay is phenomenal and the soundtrack is so beautiful that you can get really immersed especially if you have headphones. This game will bring out your competitive side after you feel like youve gotten as good as possible you can always do better and the amazing people at Rayark have kept adding new content to the game so that there is never a dull moment. I have purchased most all of the DLC and have not regretted it. Each album is beautifully composed and most are extremely fun and fast paced. I have played Cytus, and CytusII, and VOEZ, but nothing gives you the absolute rush that Deemo does. The concept art in the game is the best ive seen in any game and i could go on and on about this game. I will be going to college to become a software engineer and it would be a dream to work with Rayark in the future. These developers have shown they really care about the quality of games they release and deserve the praise they get from us as a player community. <3

I received this game free because of their anniversary special. I’d say that this game would be perfect if it was always free, although usually there is a 3 dollars paywall normally. Usually I don’t care about the stories in these kinds of games, but when the developers try to attempt a good story, I want them to look at this game, the story is great, especially for a rhythm game. I had the Nintendo Switch version before getting the app, but all of the songs I saw on that version were pretty good. If you only buy the main game, you can keep the game pretty fresh, but only if you play every song given to you. But if your willing to throw some money at this game, then do that, especially if you get the Forgotten Hourglass DLC, because it adds a lot of different things to do, but it gets boring to progress if you don’t have new songs to play. Also, keep in mind that even if you are ok with the amount of songs you get to complete the DLC, the more you play a song, the less the tree will grow, making it very hard to progress. Despite the negatives, this is a very good game, and I recommend it to everyone who mentions rhythm games.

I was not expecting that ending. I recently finished the game within a few days and it's definitely one of the more memorable ones, if not the most beautiful mobile game you'll surely remember the journey to. Deemo is a rhythm game, with different available collections of albums and songs to each with three difficultly modes-easy, normal and hard. As you fly through the beautiful songs, the tree will continue to grow and then the stairs until Deemo returns to her world. The game has amazing songs, plot, ending, a gorgeous art style and is addictive. If you want to move on faster, there will be rooms you can enter after unlocking it with glowing orbs that'll spawn, which gives you extra height for the tree/staircase. Also after some period of time, you'll need to go through the different rooms to activate things. I absolutely love Deemo and it's definitely my favorite. I strongly recommend that you experience this wonderful journey with Deemo and little girl. And I applaud you if you aren't moved by this masterpiece.

This game peaked my interest by including a wide variety of fun songs and challenging rhythms and setting it all to a wonderful, albeit minimal, storyline. Don’t get me wrong, Deemo is a wonderful game and I don’t regret buying it. That being said, as I’ve gotten further along in the game, my desire as a completionist to finish songs with full “charming” combos has brought about a small sense of loathing. The game is waaaaay too finicky about what counts as a charming note or not, especially considering it doesn’t include a musical staff and it doesn’t count measures. You can only fully complete a song through either experimenting with timing, fully memorizing the song by playing it over and over, or by somehow managing to perfectly set your synchronization (the settings there are awful and confusing). If you don’t care about charming and just enjoy getting full combos, that’s still perfectly doable for the average driven player. However, you have to go the extra 500 miles (or be extremely talented/lucky) to even have a chance with charming. Still a great game, sorry if this review/essay makes it sound otherwise.
