Phigros

I play a lot of rhythm games, but this one is straight up amazing. I truly recommend this to any other rhythm game lovers. The design is smooth, it’s not laggy, and the songs are cool so far. Not to mention, you don’t have to buy songs or items to unlock songs unlike some games (*COuGh VOEZ) to truly enjoy it, it’s FREE. The rotating judgment line was weird at first (games like Lanota have a basis of the hit area being a circle and such I’ve never really seen rotating judgement lines) but it’s not that hard once you start practicing and anticipating the notes. One suggestion though, instead of just one sound effect maybe have multiple in the future? I notice that most rhythm games don’t have that feature and it’s nice to have more than one sound effect to use sometimes. Overall though, this game is great.

The moving line gimmick takes a bit of getting used to, but after a while it gets to be pretty fun. As someone who has played numerous rhythm games, I would rank the mechanics of this one up there. Some of the charts are a bit too quirky though to the point that they almost abuse the mechanics, such as moving the holds around without warning (would recommend something which indicates where the holds move to ahead of time kind of like VOEZ does) or making the line jump a bit too suddenly so as to limit note visibility, but generally these aren’t too common. Overall, once you learn the charts, I would say that as of right now it is one of the easier rhythm games out there, so it’s a good one to start with. Will probably recommend to anyone I want to drag down the rhythm gaming path with me.

Okay, I don’t normally write reviews for games, but since this is such an unknown gem, I’m going to write one. Phigros is an amazing mix of gameplay, similar to Dynamix and Cytus. But different at the same time. This bar feature is incredibly fun and unique, and is used greatly in songs. From it glitching out to the soundtrack or it switching up upside down. The songs are also great, giving challenges but also great tunes to listen to. Hopefully in the future, we’ll see more songs and such. Though, these tracks so far are still incredibly fun and enjoyable. My only complaint is like another comment, being the start button. It’s kind of hard to figure it out where it is, especially as a beginner. Other then that, this game is just... amazing! As I’m always looking for new IOS rhythm games, this came up at the best time.

I get that the rhythm game industry is hard, it’s tough to stand out in a pool of hundreds of anime rhythm games. But, why is ruining the basic premise of rhythm games,( I.e having a set place to hit notes, a consistent direction notes come from, etc etc) something that is innovative? This game tries reeeeeaaaly hard to stand out, but in the end just screws itself over by being punishing to new players with whatever that judgment bar moving thing is, small notes, unsatisfying mapping, and ultimately, overcomplication of a game that has a LOT of potential to be absolutely amazing. The songs are good, the aesthetic is clean cut, but the mechanics and idea behind it, in my opinion, isn’t there. This game isn’t for me, but maybe it’s for you.

Good concept but the line moving around seems like it would be a huge issue when its glitching that fast, on top of the rhythm bars also moving around..hard to get used to, makes the game seem overly complicated like they were trying really hard to be unique and i couldn’t actually tell when i missed or didn’t get perfect until my combo changed. basically its a bit hard to get INTO the game. would be nice to get a little warning before everything starts to glitch. im sure I could get used to all the weird quirks eventually, but i think im just too accustomed to rayark and harmonix games. might try playing it more later though.
