My favorite rhythm game
Ive owned Cytus for at least four years now, and I fell in love with it the instant I began playing. Sure you may say its just another rhythm game, but I believe this one is the best by far. Rayark has put so much love into this game, and its obvious that Cytus community feels that way as well, with over 1 million downloads! What I believe Cytus does better than others is its music. The styles vary from songs like "Black Case" (Chapter 3) — which reminds me of 1950s America for some reason probably because of the trumpet — to completely different songs like "Ververg" (Chapter 2) and the infamously difficult "L" for their orchastraic themes, all the way to EDM music like "Codename: Zero" (Chapter 9).
The controls are simple and intuitive, making this game easy to learn but difficult to master.
Even if you dont like rhythm games, I would simply buy this game for access to the wonderful music this game opens your eyes to (my favorite artist of this game has to be "xi"). As of writing this review, this game contains 221 songs, each with an easy and hard mode, for a total of 442 different "levels" spread across 19 chapters.
NOTE: Since I bought the game years ago, Im not 100% how many chapters you will have unlocked upon purchase; however, I do know that 8 of them are locked to in-app purchases, because I dont have them myself.
But for a small price of less than $2, and the numerous hours upon hours Ive poured into this game to simply get a complete combo, let alone master, as many songs as possible is well worth the price if you enjoy rhythm games!
Again, I feel Rayark did a wonderful job with this gem of a game, and did remarkably well in my opinion with its graphical style and theme, despite visuals not being of the utmost importance. Its truly the challenge of a compelling rhythm game, along with its wonderful music spread across a multitude of genres that make this game truly great.
