Asterika: Phantom Rose Refrain

new favorite game

10/10 game one of my favorites ive ever played

I like it, pretty decent song selection. The game can get very difficult, those nightmare charts are no joke, theres a reason clearing more than 10 has less than 1% completion.....I did it by the way, you may bow to me. Anyway, game is more of a bullet hell game than it is a rhythm game. The rhythm game begins and ends as far as you dodge on the beat. The game can be visually overwhelming on harder charts; on those I had to surrender to my lizard brain and enter a zen, flow state. No thinky, just feely. The game has a story but its separated from the rhythm portion. Nothing about it is musically related, its about an energy crisis and monsters, and a church.... Its feels bolted on with how it has nothing to do with the game, or music, or....rhythm. It is its own thing entirely, which confused me. So i checked the developers previous work, the story seems to be related to their other games. It seems this is a rhythm game spin off. The story is...okaaaay, I was intrigued enough to keep going, but Its a pure visual novel, no gameplay at all, and its pretty short. maybe 2 hours. There is actually alot of black screens, not much artwork accompanies the story, you will just be readi…

Super fun once you get the hang of it, but getting good at it took a pretty long time. I'd recommend it if you have the time and patience for the steep learning curve! 上手くなってきたらめっちゃ楽しいよ！けど、ユニークだからこそ上手くなるのには結構時間がかかるだろね。腕を磨く時間があれば遊んだ方がいいよー

pretty clever gameplay and cool overall style story’s a bit ehh, but it could me, i have trouble following stories sometimes songs honestly made me like vocaloid a little more liked it more than i thought i would, 8/10!
