Lyrica: Drunken Moon

The current state of the game is pretty good right now with plenty of charts. They’ve done a decent job consistently adding charts and updating the “special” difficulty.

I was a little uncertain about whether I wanted to get it, seeing the negative rating. After trying it I just don’t see why it’s so underrated. It runs very smoothly and deserves at least the same rating as famous titles like Cytus. The gameplay is similar to Osu with focus on calm ethnic music.

I just finished the whole story (on hard mode run) and I have to say that the goals are quite challenging. Later chapters require you to basically get full combo though the charts aren’t particularly challenging. The accuracy system is very generous (it’s very very easy to get a perfect rating with a slightly off-rhythm tap). Level tens are quite hard but once you get the hang of the mechanics it’s not so technically demanding to get full combo Eg. no super fast machine gun or tricky hand intertwining required, but you’ll need to judge the rhythm of your taps carefully. One thing I don’t like is how the game charges an unreasonable amount of money for contents. 4 songs for 4 bucks?! There are even two songs which can only be unlocked through RNG. At least you get around ~20 songs with the purchase of the app. The game has a decent selection of music, if you’re into pop music style.
