GUNVOLT RECORDS Cychronicle

- Perfect for Steam Deck - Finished the base game at 2.5 hours :( - Makes me want to try the actual Azure Striker Gunvolt series now - DLC sale waiting room

Oh goodness what do I say about this game? Personally, I never played a rhythm game. My hand-eye coordination is very bad compared to others, but because I've at least memorized most of this series collection of songs, I decided to at least give it a shot. People who kept saying that Gunvolt needed a rhythm game because of the various vocal tracks the series had, it feels like you wished upon it with a monkey's paw. Many reviews have already pointed out the disappointing song count for the base game, and honestly I agree. If the series should of had DLC, it should be at least songs released after this game (like Sparking Elation and Afsan for example) or songs that were released as bonuses for the CDs in JP (Tabula Rasa, Paradox Stage). The DLC added up costs twice the amount for the base game, which is kind of criminal since the series doesn't have a high song count from let's say Hatsuna Miku, even if I'm comparing a small harvest that's just bore its fruit to a vocaloid whose harvest has been generous for the past decade or so.

While I do recommend this game I have one pain point. The music videos that play in the background are pretty low-res..

Before reading this review, please consider my lack of experience in this genre of games, as I will not dive deep into the controls, most of what I will express here concerns aspects that made me recommend against this product. Allow me to start with the negatives here: - First of all, more than half of the game's content is locked behind DLCs. If you so wish to ignore this, ( and I may be biased but) I believe the way it was distributed could use a rework here, as the proposed songs come as bundled instead of being sold as individual units, this enables scenarios where you end up buying a bundle just for a particular song. I however do appreciate the inclusion of almost every existing Gunvolt song, I say almost because a number of which could not be added due to the original RoRo singer being absent in the making. I wish they included RoRo's version of Stratosphere however since it was sung by the new singer. - The game has a section where you can view pre-recorded videos of the music video clips to watch and listen to. These are, sadly, locked to 720p for some unknown reason. As much as I appreciate the feature, I can hardly overlook this. - Only a chosen subset of songs hav…

This is fun, though maybe too expensive for what it is. Probably something good to get on sale.
