### 2/5 — レベル上げだるすぎ、譜面おもんない

*2026-06-15*

有料なだけあって曲とUIは神、ストーリもめちゃおもろい

でも音ゲー部分がすこぶる微妙　音ゲーのシステムはいいのにおもんない譜面多すぎ
あとレベル上げがゴミ

覚え前提のハイスピ、無限に抜けるドラッグノーツ、ドラッグノーツの終点に置かれるタップノーツ、目押しするか覚える他ない低速不規則密集ノーツ、奇怪な音取り、安直な縦連(低速だとガチで最悪)

Sまで詰めたとしても、爽快感を得られる譜面は稀
全体的にレベルを表す数字が、難易度というより不快さの指標になってる

前のレビューに「モグラ叩き」ってあったけど言い得て妙だと思う
譜面によっては音ゲーじゃなくてBGMつきのモグラ叩きやってる気分になる

テストプレイしたのか？？本当に疑いたくなる

それでいておもんない譜面のプレイをレベル上げに強要させられるからクソ
低bpm譜面を延々とやったり初プレイボーナスのため低難度埋めたりしてる時は虚無でしかなかった、キャラのレベルが上がるたびに解放されるiMとかOSの新情報(ストーリー要素)だけを糧にしてた
音ゲーしたいのにストーリー進めないと曲解放されない、ストーリー進めたくても気が遠くなるほどプレイしなきゃストーリー進まないの終わってる

最後まで「頑張ったら」最高のクライマックスがみれるとかいうけどさ、「頑張る」の域じゃねえよこれ、なんでここまでの苦行をしなきゃストーリーまともに読ませてくれないんだよ

レベル上げは撤廃、ストーリーの進行トリガーをレベルアップじゃなくて特定楽曲のプレイにしよう　プレイに対してストーリーの進行速度遅すぎ
無理ならせめて経験値を少なくとも今の2倍にしろ、1プレイしたらに他のストーリーキャラ全員に経験値を本キャラの0.75以上の倍率で配れ
レベルロックはまあわかるが超過分した経験値は保存なり他キャラに回すなりしろ、ストーリー読むために特定キャラの曲のプレイを強制させるな

かなり力を入れて作ったことが伝わるのに、面白くない譜面とレベル上げのクソ仕様で台無しになってる残念な音ゲー
なんでこんな高評価なのかわからん

### 3/5 — Aaaaaagh

*2026-05-12, version 5.2.13*

This game seems so cool but it is crashing every other song i play through. and it’s not saving my score either.

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2026-05-09, version 5.2.13*

I got to play a game a bit and it was fun, but it keeps crashing when I try to tap on one of the cards(could be called memories but it has a character on it) to start the game.

### 2/5 — Love the game but the dlc is ridiculous

*2026-02-14, version 5.2.12*

There is wayyy too much dlc, you could spend hundreds and not even get close to all the dlc available.

### 3/5 — why i kept crashing while doing vanessa quest?

*2025-10-18, version 5.2.9*

i need to finish it to unlock other characters, but kept getting crashed

### 4/5 — Issue with Ivy Songs

*2025-10-16, version 5.2.9*

I love this game so much, been playing it since 2019. However, recently, some of Ivy's songs won't load so I can't play some of my favorite levels. Hopefully this problem is fixed soon so I can beat my previous high scores. Love you Rayark Games!

### 1/5 — Fix restore purchase

*2025-10-07, version 5.2.8*

Fix the restore purchase button

### 2/5 — Expensive

*2025-09-20, version 5.2.8*

There comes a point where nothing new can be unlocked without paying. Playing higher level difficulty requires in game currency.

### 5/5 — Actual good rhythm game

*2025-08-31, version 5.2.7*

I’m a drummer and I find a lot of rhythm games are either completely off the mark in beat or are too simple and not exciting. Cytus defeats all those other games with it’s compelling story, fun gameplay and it actually being right on beat. The whole game is a master piece and even though I finished the game I still enjoy all of it’s music and gameplay. Currently, I am resetting the game to get the whole experience again. Would definetly reccomend to anyone who wants banger music, nice on beat gameplay and actual deep and devastating story.

### 5/5 — I've always liked this game

*2025-08-21, version 5.2.7*

I've been playing since around 2020 and this is probably the best story/rhythm game you can buy

### 1/5 — Uncomfortable

*2026-06-22, version 5.2.16*

For someone who seldom watches comments or responds anyone on the internet, when I want to know more about this CyTus world, I had to see all of those junk information which pulls me back into the depressed feelings. I am not going back to a game which makes me mad but cannot even block anyone. Not everyone is able to bear all those noises on the internet, thanks.

### 1/5 — Game Keeps Crashing

*2026-05-29, version 5.2.14*

PLZ fix this game !! I wanna play but it crashes every time I get past the first cutscene. I used to play this game all the time but I cant now. Plz help

### 1/5 — Game crashes during opening

*2026-05-23, version 5.2.13*

Can’t get past the first cutscene, either crashes during or after I hit the message button. Either way have to rewatch the entire cutscene and then it crashes again

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-05-02, version 5.2.13*

Can’t get past selecting the IM icon. Really disappointed cos this looked sick

### 1/5 — Cloud save fail.

*2026-03-09, version 5.2.12*

Amazing game. But I redownloaded cytus recently, and my cloud save progress was gone. I tried several things when I emailed support, and nothing has worked. There doesn’t seem to be any real process for restoring lost save files besides turning cloud save off and on or updating my device (which didn’t work). So 6 years of CYTUS II (after 5 years of CYTUS), and I’m remiss to say that I have to be done with it. If I build up that progress again (i had all max characters), it could just happen again, and I refuse to do it.

### 1/5 — needs a log in option…

*2026-02-02, version 5.2.11*

don’t get this app if you ever plan on going from IOS to Android or vice versa because you WILL lose everything.

### 1/5 — purchase cannot be restored

*2026-01-31, version 5.2.11*

Several characters cannot have their purchase pack restored after re-loading the game on the same device

### 1/5 — Download problem

*2025-10-11*

I can’t download Ivy’s file mail_log_01_01 . I really love this game and want to support it by spending my money on it. But this trouble make me confuse, because I can’t continue to pass the main storyline. Developers, please help me. Every time why I try to open that file I get an error  “network error, please check up you network connection to download it”. I don’t have trouble with network

### 1/5 — Бесконечная загрузка

*2025-10-08*

Купил пак с Мику и при попытке сыграть любую из песен ловлю бесконечную загрузку(

### 1/5 — Cloud Sync does NOT work

*2025-10-08, version 5.2.8*

cannot transfer my dozens of hours of progress from one device to another. lost purchases as well. KNOWN issue they refuse to fix.

### 5/5 — Its goated🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

*2026-07-30*

So... I've been wanting to find a rythm game since like 4 years so i've been surfing in the app store and I found cytus II it did cost bur worth it, the tracking is good the soundtracks are good, but i recommend (to u the creator) to get some music not just from you also other artists music that isn't in the cytus lore, or make a new one, idc if you make it cost alot it'll always be worth it, so if you guys reading this (i mean the people who want to buy this) Its worth the money and you'll never need to pay again (maybe)

### 5/5 — 엔딩 클리어 후에 남기는 리뷰

*2026-07-25*

일단 전체적으로 갓겜이 맞습니다. 우선 리듬게임은 곡이 맛깔나야 할 맛이 나지 않습니까? 근데 이 부분에서 이미 먹고 들어가는 거 같습니다. 프세카, 뮤즈대쉬 같은 게임처럼 씹덕같은 곡들이 주가 아니라서 갓반인분들도 좋아하실 거 같습니다. 장르도 edm부터 해서 클래식, 팝, 재즈, 락 등 매우 다양합니다. 애초에 이 게임 처음 깔아서 해봤을 때 놀랐던 게 생각보다 전혀 씹덕같은 게임이 아니여서 놀랐습니다. 이 게임만의 세련된 ui와 노트, 깔끔한 일러스트 덕분인 거 같습니다. 그리고 싸이터스가 갓겜인 이유는 높은 퀄리티의 곡도 있지만 무엇보다 스토리가 너무 탄탄하고 기승전결이 완벽하기 때문입니다. 특히 스토리 번역 K패치가 매우 잘 되어있어서 몰입도 잘 되고, 게임 속 sns 시스템은 실제 한국 커뮤니티를 보는 듯 했습니다. 스토리를 보지 않고 단순히 음악과 플레이만 즐기는 것도 하나의 플레이 방법이겠지만 개인적으로 이 게임에서 스토리를 즐기지 않는다면 게임의 50%밖에 즐기지 못하는 것이라고 생각합니다. DLC를 구매하지 않아도 충분히 메인스토리만으로도 게임의 방대한 세계관과 감동을 씨게 느낄 수 있었습니다. 엔딩 기준 플레이타임도 적당했습니다. 천천히 스토리와 음악을 즐기면서 플레이하다보면 어느샌가 엔딩을 보고 DLC를 구매하고 있는 자신을 보게 될 지도… 하지만 이러한 장점들이 있음에도 불구하고 한 가지 아쉬운점은 모바일로 플레이 할 경우 여러개씩 겹쳐있는 노트들이 몇 개가 어떻게 겹쳐있는 건지 가독성이 좀 떨어질 때도 있지만 엄청 거슬리는 정도는 아니었습니다. 다만 사람에 따라서 불편한을 느낄 수도 있기에 패드나 태블릿으로 플레이 하는 것도 좋은 선택이 될 수 있습니다. 리듬게임 유저들은 플레이 필수, 리듬게임을 좋아하지 않는 유저들은 이 게임으로 입문하거나 가볍게 플레이하시면 되겠습니다. 어떤 경우에도 후회는 없으실 겁니다.

### 5/5 — 全てにおいて隙がない

*2026-06-26*

Rayark音ゲー全ての中で1番好きです。

曲が良く、様々なジャンルのものが入っています。特にボーカル曲が好きな方はかなり多く入っているのでオススメ。
ゲームとしても、フリックの追加によってより楽しく叩けるようになっていると思いますし、曲の魅力を引き立てるような譜面が多いと感じます(前作で特に刺さらなかった曲が、今作にも入っていて譜面が楽しくて曲まで好きになりました)。

そして個人的に最高なのがストーリー面です。SNSを始めとするインターネットを覗くことでストーリーが進んでいくのですが、まずSNSの解像度が高すぎます。よく見る上辺だけをなぞった寒気のする擬似SNSではなく、本当にあるSNSのよう。モブのアカウントですらキャラクターが確立しています。日本製では無いはずなのにどうしてここまで……？？ という解像度で、本当にSNS上で人々が生きていると錯覚します。
そしてストーリーじたいは、かなり世界観の作り込まれたSFです。登場人物の数も多く、独特の単語も大量に存在するため全ての理解は難しいとは思いますが、壮大なストーリーがお好きなら是非読み込んで頂きたいです。

そしてそれに合わせて、演出面がとにかく凝っています。よく演出が素晴らしいと言われるのはArcaeaかなと思いますが、個人的にはCytusⅡはそれに並ぶ演出の力があります。何度演出でワクワクさせられたか数え切れません。

全てにおいて完成度が高い神ゲーです。おすすめ。

### 5/5 — Very delicious very yummy

*2026-06-21, version 5.2.16*

I love this game it holds a special place in my heart

### 5/5 — One of best rythm game ever !

*2026-05-04, version 5.2.13*

I play for so long since 2020 , never disapointed , new song and new character are very good , even free character have alot to play already , hope one day game would sell cytus 2 shirt :)))

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-03-06, version 5.2.12*

I absolutely adore this game with every fiber of my being, iv played this game since around 2021 and over the years i have chipped though the story, i am utterly amazed how a rhythm game of this quality to this day gets monthly updates, god only knows if they will make another cytus as some of the original staff had departed, and the focus on deep 2, but the commitment to monthly updates almost made me shed a tear, i love this game and its story, play it. The gameplay is great, the story is great, the music is absolutely fantastic and will stick with you, the main theme is an earworm and develops as the story goes on. Such a treasure 10/10

### 5/5 — Different

*2026-01-10, version 5.2.10*

I want to see this game on other platforms like pc or console, I love this game and I really want to play it more but mobile is limited, and on a different platform it could be bigger and probably make more money

### 5/5 — The gameplay is great

*2026-01-04, version 5.2.10*

Its very fun. Except that you have to pay a lot for the DLC characters

### 5/5 — I need it

*2025-11-11, version 5.2.9*

CYTUS III PLEASEEEEEE

### 5/5 — Performance

*2025-10-09, version 5.2.8*

Everything about the game is phenomenal however I’m having the issue of trying to redownloading tracks and it will stay stuck on the loading screen. Any way to fix that issue??
