### 3/5 — Great for new fans

*2026-05-24*

Most negative reviews of this game come from ProSeka players who can’t get used to the gameplay. It takes a while to get used to, but the rhythm game itself is fun once you get the hang of it. You can also play it offline, which is a MASSIVE bonus. The base game includes iconic songs from each of the VWP members, making it perfect for someone just getting into Kamitsubaki. The story is a bit goofy and lighthearted- It’s not as serious as it’s marketed to be, and that’s fine. I did tear up a bit during the emotional parts regardless. My one big complaint is the pricing. If this game was free, I’d be fine with all the DLC- But it isn’t. It really makes the game feel like a big cash grab… You could just buy Regenerate with the money the full game costs, but I digress. This game feels like it was intended to get Vocaloid fans into Kamitsubaki, but the price tag as more than likely to scare them away. One star has been deducted because of the emotional damage this game gave me.

### 5/5 — Phenomenal game!

*2026-03-14*

It’s a great game for anyone who’s a fan of kamitsubaki. it seems like a lot was changed since the time of the other reviews; now the game is much more polished and less buggy.

### 5/5 — 推

*2025-07-30, version 1.9.1*

音樂好聽、打擊感不錯、譜也意外的很有遊玩性，除了判定有點問題以外（也可能自己比較爛吧♪(´ε｀ )）真的是個不錯的音遊。

p.s.還有，Notes se type-c真的超級好聽的(=ﾟωﾟ)ﾉ

### 1/5 — 同期機能ないの微妙すぎ

*2025-07-03, version 1.9.0*

5個もプラットフォームあるくせにスマホと連動できないのは微妙すぎる。
音ゲーの醍醐味ってどこでも短い時間でできることだと思うけれど、プレステはプレステのみのアカウントになるんすね。
何でアカウント連携がアップルだけ？もうちょいなんかあったやろ

### 3/5 — 数回のアップデートでようやく音ゲーとして楽しく遊べるようになった。

*2025-06-25*

発売初期の激渋判定を乗り越えて、普通にやってて楽しめるレベルになっている。初期の協奏中。しか知らない人は今一度起動してみてほしい。疑惑の判定で楽しく遊べなかった曲が一通りフルコンボで塗り替えられて楽しい。
ただ、音ゲーとしてここどうしても直してっていう点が残っている。どうしてもフルコンボ等ガチでやろうとすると、やるほどに演出がいらなくなる。レーンを叩いた時に青く光ったり、ノーツを叩くたびにパーフェクトが点滅したり、急にフィーバーの文字が入ったり。その辺の表示を全てオフにするか、点滅しない簡素なバージョンがほしい。上記の3つは色変え、オフ、表示/場所変更等々何もできないからすごく邪魔に感じる。
たまに他ハードでも発売されてる弊害か、絶対に指で追わせる気のない譜面とかあるけどそれは妥協。
推しの曲を聴きながら音ゲーできる最高のゲームだから、どうかもう一歩がんばってほしい。

### 4/5 — エモい

*2025-06-14, version 1.9.0*

うーんっエモいですよ！
凄く良い、曲とキャラクターは。

ただゲームとしては

タップとロングのみのシンプルな操作はベリーグッド。難易度を物量で調整してるのも好印象。

ただこれHARDまではスマホでも全く苦にならないけど

PROは凄い鍵盤押しが降ってくるのでまず指がね、スマホだと画面に収まらないことがあるんですわ
タブレットないとしんどいねコレ

あと当たり判定小さ過ぎ！

レーンを放射状にレイアウトしたらレーンを大きく出来ると思うよ

### 5/5 — Kafu lore

*2025-06-03*

I need lore scrummy and songs r fire🙂‍↔️

### 5/5 — 改善空間很大

*2025-05-13, version 1.8.0*

雖說並不是每間公司都帶有龐大的資本來製作遊戲 但ui 誠意上稍顯不足 遊戲內特效也相較隔壁棚東x彈xx樂略顯平庸 但我相信很多人喜歡這個ip 而且可不超可愛：D 所以應該稍為迎合大眾降低一些遊玩門檻 增加一些每日每週任務 來個遊戲內商店之類的 投入稍多的畫面品質 增強推廣力度 我相信也有機會在音遊圈上榜上有名！

### 5/5 — 音符設定有點怪

*2025-03-21, version 1.6.0*

兩種軌道類型的按鍵掉落速度和大小不一樣，但預覽只有等寬類型的。不過收錄的歌我很喜歡

### 4/5 — There is still a lot of room for improvement

*2025-02-12*

As a music game, this one is quite good in itself. The design of the sheet music and such is fine. However, the only drawback is that it has extremely high requirements for the placement of your fingers. You often miss the notes because your fingers are slightly off-target. To put it bluntly, the feel of it is not good.
