Android App Video Review: Cytus

Cytus is a new music and rhythm game from Rayark. Its well done, with fun mechanics, good songs (although thats quite subjective), and nice visuals. This Android version of the game is far less stable than the iOS version and it froze on me quite a few times, but all in all its the same great game and a worthy addition to the collection of any music game fan.

The mechanics are a mix of Dance Dance Revolution and the popular Nintendo DS game Elite Beat Agents. You must tap on notes in accordance with a scrolling black bar, and youre rated based on your accuracy and timing. Youll have to deal with single notes, notes that you hold, and notes that you must follow with your finger. Every song is scored out of one million points, and you are given a grade based on your performance. There is no way to actually fail out of a song. Youll always get to play it to completion, even if you dont hit a single note. However, Cytus does not show how well youre doing as youre actually playing.

The background visuals often have a nice painted look to them, and the production values are generally pretty awesome. The songs consist of a lot of electronic music, from techno to J-Pop, and while those may not be your cup of tea, the songs themselves are energetic and well suited to this kind of game. There are over 18 songs currently available for play. I can also tell you that this game is much easier to play on a smaller device rather than a tablet. While I found it easier to get the timing right with such large buttons, itll be quite the stretch for your thumbs to keep up, and it can honestly wear your hands out fairly quickly.

The game also froze on me quite a few times, though force-stopping it and restarting my device seems to have fixed things. OpenFeint leaderboards are also supported. The game is billed as free, but you really only get a three song sample and must purchase the rest of the game for two dollars in-app. I definitely recommend this title to any music and rhythm fan, as its quite well done.
