7. Lanota
With the saturated market for rhythm games, creators are hardpressed to create a unique yet still familiar rhythm experience. And that's what Noxy Games achieved in their title Lanota. Instead of the usual vertical falls of beats, Lanota distinguishes itself from the rest with their circular console. Keep your eyes open as you take on the challenge of their ethereal music. With their golden plate, Lanota keeps faithful to the magical, dream-like atmosphere of their storyline.
Presenting a charming, storybook-like universe, the plot revolves around another quest to cleanse it of chaos and restore the balance of the old order. The game may be free to play, but it only serves as a sampler of what's to come in their paid full version offered within the game itself. By paying the premium price, you get to have an ad-free experience and their much-needed retry function.

6. Arcaea - New Dimension Rhythm Game
This rhythm game from developer lowiro is exploring new dimensions in more ways than one. Talking of getting lost in the songs of light and conflict, Arcaea also jumps out of the ordinary plane of 2D, into the three dimensions of arcs of light. Blending ordinary tile gameplay with their unique 3D rays which you can swipe according to the rhythm. As an arcade-style rhythm game, it still exudes the same kind of atmosphere as some of Rayark's more colorful titles--except jampacked with soothing soundtracks but equally beautiful anime backdrops.
Arcaea has no shortage of songs either. From 50 artists across the globe, it has a library of over 90 songs each of which you can play in 3 rhythm difficulties. And if that's not enough, it will keep on expanding with each content update. Compete with friends online, conquer the leaderboards, and collect the melodic shards of Arcaea.
