- 9.0Flyhigh Works’ second Switch symphony hits all the same highs as the first; Deemo is a fantastic rhythm game, with an incredible soundtrack, fun mechanics, and a surprisingly touching tale to tell. Its lovely art and piano focus give it a unique feel — without at all restricting its musical horizons — and excellent pacing and difficulty options make it accessible and fun for a wide range of skill levels. Music fans shouldn’t miss this — Deemo is a hit.
- The width of the Vita itself, however, might inhibit comfortable gameplay for some out there when compared to thinner smartphone screens. No matter which version you play, though, there’s still some gameplay design decisions which don’t make total sense to music game fans. Fortunately, the highly varied soundtrack makes grinding mostly bearable as players pursue growing a magical tree to its fullest. In a rhythm gaming dearth, Deemo: The Last Recital stands as an imperfect, but mostly enjoyable, title to spend time with.
- 6.5If it wasn’t for this perplexing progression choice made by the developers, and if the story of Deemo: The Last Recital played out at the pace it should, the game would be easy to recommend. In fact, if you love rhythm games, ignore the score below and pick it up for yourself because the music selection is outstanding overall and who knows when next we’ll get something else like it.
- 7.1The plot isn't entirely clear from the app alone; reading the developer's description of a storyline involving a solitary mystic creature and a lost little girl falling from the sky actually adds quite a bit to the experience. It would be great to see this more fully integrated into gameplay. I also found the "hard" versions of each song simply absurd in terms of difficulty, but hey, could be that I just have fat fingers.
- 9.0I’m a huge fan of rhythm games, so any title that can manage to get the gameplay right is worth a playthrough in my book. However, Deemo is so much more than that. The game’s art style and subtle story meld together beautifully to create an overall presentation that simply works.
- Deemo excels in every aspect for a game of its genre. On the surface it may seem like any other rhythm game, however its musical accuracy combined with a stellar and diverse song selection makes it an incredibly captivating experience – it even has an emotional story! The premium package will seem a lot to those not into the genre, but it’s an easy recommendation for anyone who is
Gamer reviews
Feels very slow paced and accuracy based, so allready not my kind of game. The accuracy reading seems to be also based on how far away from the centre of the note you press, meaning you can ruin a perfect score by clicking slightly off of the middle of the note. It has a very low skill ceiling, and features a 1 minute wait unless you make a one-time purchase of a premium membership, where you can skip the wait. Looking past the glaring turn-aways, the game is extremely atmospheric, and features a calming soundtrack, making it perfect to escape to on a long train ride, or at night in the blissful silence, however this game just isn't my cup of tea.
Great game with pleasing visuals. Great and moving story. Lots of songs to choose and play. Simple yet challenging gameplay mechanic. Its minor downside is the grinding part where you have to score big in songs order to progress in the story.
