### 3/5 — 久しぶりに

*2025-05-09*

PS Vitaで遊んだことがあったので、たまたま見かけて無料プレイしました。ノーツを調整するも、若干元が速いため、弾いてる感が無い。
後1番やりたかったreflectionやwing of pianoなどV K氏の楽譜がほぼ無くてがっかり。
ネタバレになるけど、ハンスの顔、CG版で作ってるんだから、元絵のように近くで見せる演出ほしかったなぁ。
無料なのでこんなもんかと。

### 4/5 — iPhoneXR玩的时候，会在deemo坐在刚琴上时演奏卡死

### 4/5 — Enjoying this so far

*2023-09-24, version 1.1.1*

I’ve only started playing DEEMO today but it’s really good. The graphics and music are beautiful, but my only wish is that the whole moving system is easier, I feel like it’s very slow compared to other games I’ve played in the past. Still really good.

### 3/5 — ☹️

*2022-12-03*

Дерево выросло до 25 в подвале и игра стала вылетать, Исправте пожалуйста ошибку

### 4/5 — Interactive/puzzle & Rhythm game.

*2022-11-14*

Better then the first game but still having problem calibrate this game which I still can’t hit those correctly on [Normal] mode (maybe it’s the refresh rate on my iPhone SE not good enough).

### 5/5 — pc판에서 퍼즐 재미있게 풀어서 모바일로 다시해봅니다

pc판에서 퍼즐 재미있게 풀어서 모바일로 다시해봅니다

### 2/5 — The game looks terrible on iPad

*2021-11-29*

The resolution is only around 1080p, while other games(eg Genshin) with prettier graphics can run stably at native resolution at 60hz. And the most confusing thing is that the whole game is running at 1080p, which including all the UI, texts, cutscenes , and also when playing songs. They could make this a lot better just by not to change the resolution of the entire game but the rendering resolution, but they didn’t.
If you plan to play this mainly on a iPad , I would not recommend you to buy it. Buy the original DEEMO, or buy this game on pc, don’t buy this junk.

### 4/5 — Deemo Reborn, a upgrade in gameplay but a downgrade in story.

*2021-10-28*

Deemo Reborn has fun puzzles, all be it pretty difficult at times.
The core piano gameplay is a unexpectedly needed upgrade. It’s more fluid and easier to read, and much more pretty. But that’s where the compliments stop. My god they butchered the cutscenes, if a Microsoft Power point animation was enough to make people cry, then they have no excuse for having to cut, be sloppy, and overall have really mediocre CGI. The only time the CGI is good is when the producers name is on screen. They ended the game with bad CGI, but the END CREDITS look better than the climax of the story!!! Talk about placing effort in the wrong places. 
The reason i’ve gave the game 4 stars and not 3 is my expectations were rock-bottom and this game exceeded them. Sorta.

### 5/5 — Magnolia

*2021-10-21, version 1.1.1*

The game is really well made, but after I finished Magnolia for the first time, the app just crashes. I’m not sure if this is the case for any of the others, but every time I finished Magnolia for the first time in the other save files, the app crashes. I just hope the developers could fix this issue.

### 2/5 — Crashes a lot

*2021-09-18*

The game keeps crashing on me. I love it but now i can’t even play it cos it won’t let me open the game

### 5/5 — Crashing

*2021-09-10*

I love the game with all of my heart heck the original is my childhood game and I adore deemo but after playing the song magnolia for the basement my game constantly crashes I kept replaying the song hoping it wouldn't crash and everytime I opened the auto file (which was saved after playing magnolia) the game would crash again. I thought the problem was storage and tried to remove as much as possible for the game but it kept crashing. I'm giving the game 5 stars because it's a really good game and would highly recommend but if the crashing could be fixed I would greatly appreciate it.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2021-08-18, version 1.1.1*

The remake to DEEMO could have been full perfect. If it wasn’t that’s glitch where I can’t load my save file after I play one song on the 2nd piano after the tree reaches 20.00m. I have beat the original DEEMO, but I cannot beat the remake because of the glitch. Rayark, if you are reading this, could you please fix this bug that was in the game so I can continue the remake please?

### 2/5 — Game crashes all the times

*2021-07-27*

Open game for the first time - crash. Pickup music score - crash. Enter cut scene - crash. Play Magnolia - your save is ruined and will crash on load.

Add russian language

### 1/5 — Crashes Too Much

*2023-07-21*

The game keeps crashing on me, preventing me on progressing through story. Will not install again until this is fixed.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2021-12-31*

Just got it and it sits loading on a black screen.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-09-19, version 1.1.1*

Didn’t realise until after purchase this game is not compatible with my iPad which is under a year old. So paid £1.99 for a game that doesn’t work!

### 1/5 — Вылетает игра (endless crashes)

*2021-06-16*

После игры на пианино в подвале игра закрылась и больше это сохранение не загружается (так же вылетает)
iPhone 7 ios 14.6

### 1/5 — Currently unplayable

*2021-03-17, version 1.1.1*

While Rayark has a good history for putting out quality games, specifically rhythm games, this one really disappoints me so far. While it’s essentially the classic Deemo with a coat of puzzler paint, there’s an incredibly noticeable inconsistency with input as I find myself having to go to the calibration every 10 seconds.

While the game advertises that it only works on the new fangled iPads and iPhones, this game works pretty ok on an iPad 2018 and an iPhone 8... up to a certain point. 

To refrain from spoiling, the scene that’s supposed to load after Magnolia (which is about an hour into the game if you got the big brains for puzzles) causes the game to crash regardless of quality settings. 

So really the only gameplay I can get is buying the full DLC, but I wouldn’t wanna do that with a rhythm game that has severe inconsistencies with inputs.

I never like putting out negative reviews, and I genuinely (as desperately) want to recommend this game, but at its current state, I just can’t until this issue is fixed.

### 1/5 — 25mから落ちます運営さんお願いします

*2021-03-06*

助けて下さい

### 1/5 — 落ちすぎ

*2021-02-27*

Deemoがすごく好きでインストールし、始めましたがそもそもアプリが開かないは当たり前。
ひとイベント画面の度にゲームが落ちる。
かなりのストレスです。そこさえどうにかなればまだ操作が面倒でもやるきにはなるのですが今の状態のままなら一生やりたいとは思わない。

### 1/5 — 起動しません

*2021-02-05*

アプリをDLしてから何度も開いていますが、読み込みばかりで起動しません。
OSも最新のものにしましたし、できる限りのことはやりましたがだめでした。
前のは楽しくプレイできているのに、このような状態で非常に残念でなりません。3Dで動くキャラクターと素敵な曲を別の形でもやりたいと思って購入をしました。起動できるよう対応をしてください。

### 1/5 — 音ゲーとして成り立っていない

*2021-01-31*

音ゲーでなくてbgmありのノーツを叩くゲーム。
しかも開始5分で落ちる。これ有料は酷すぎる。買わないことをお勧めする

### 5/5 — ==Please read ==

*2025-09-26*

Beautiful game and awesome remake, however the original is still reccomended cause it’s interesting to see a drawn version of things. Plus it’s a unique play through! Story 20/10

### 5/5 — 最高

*2025-08-01*

最後までプレイさせて頂きました。曲も内容もとても最高でまたプレイしたくなりました。

### 5/5 — 大好き

*2025-01-04*

最近知りました。Deemoの静謐な雰囲気や儚く美しい曲の数々に惹かれます。調べたら10年以上前の作品なのですね。シンプルな操作性が本当にピアノを演奏しているようで、最近の音ゲーよりかなり好みです。
しかし条件を満たしているのに実績が解除されなかったり、プロジェクターのムービーを連続で見ようとするとゲームが落ちてします。（直してくれるといいな...。）

### 5/5 — 神作からさらに神作へ

*2024-12-06*

インストール悩んでる方絶対インストールした方がいいです！
Magnoliaから進めないといったレビューをいくつか拝見しましたが私は不具合起きることなく進めました。使っているのはタブレットですが機種が古いので皆さんのスマホで進めれないなんてことは無いのではないかと思います！

また個人的の感想としましてはオリジナルの記憶が曖昧ですが2Dから3Dになったことでエリアの細かいところまで観察できる所とストーリー全体を通して1本の映画を見ているような感じに凄く満足感を覚えております！
これが無料で本当によいのでしょうか！？

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-06-09*

My heart and head hurts playing this

### 5/5 — please 60fps...

### 5/5 — Deemo Reborn

*2023-12-08*

Love Deemo from the beginning til the end, which I hope there is never end.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2023-10-15, version 1.1.1*

Beautiful game! A mixture of rhythm game and puzzle exploration game with lovely graphics and story! Needs a decent device to play on!😎

### 5/5 — Parfait pour les débutants comme moi !

*2023-10-10*

Je cherchais, il y a peu, à me mettre aux jeux de rythme, mais je ne trouvais aucun jeu, étant accessible au pur débutant que j’étais. Avec Deemo Reborn, on a un savoureux, mélange de jeux de rythme et de jeux d’énigmes/réflexion. Étant plutôt fan de séries comme professeur Layton, je fut bien heureux de retrouver cet aspect énigme dans Deemo Reborn. Pour l’aspect jeux de rythme, nul besoin d’être un as du genre, car trois niveaux de difficulté sont disponibles à chaque musique… on a donc là un bon moyen de débuter dans les jeux de rythme, avec possibilité d’aller bien plus loin pour les plus téméraire. Je tiens à ajouter, qu’il y a suffisamment de piste musicale différentes sans avoir à acheter les pistes supplémentaires (sauf si réelle envie de se perfectionner sur le jeu). Point positif : il n’y a aucune pub dans le jeu. Seul petit bémol, j’ai eu plusieurs crash de l’application au cours de mon let’s play. 

Conclusion, un jeu à tester d’urgence pour les fans du genre, mais également pour les débutants !

### 5/5 — Très bons jeu

*2023-04-11*

J’adore se jeu il est super.
