DEEMO Wiki

So, I actually started playing this game even before the full thing had released after a friend had recommended it to me (the game originally ended right after you grow the tree to its fullest height). And that was I think about 5 and a half years ago now. And I can not tell you enough that this game is absolutely incredible, and not a money waster. Deemo is a true masterpiece among games. The visuals are stunning, the music is gorgeous, and the story is beautifully written. The story progression is so well done, as you slowly unravel the mystery of the world you have found yourself in (the ending is going to leave you a changed person. And no, that is not an over statement), all while you get to play beautiful scores that feel like people put real heart into them. And there is so much free content, let alone all of the albums you can buy. Each piano piece you play comes with wonderfully drawn art. I guess you could call it the music cover art? And GOOD LORD just the game itself is a ton of fun to play. So, even if you don’t care about story in anyway shape or form, if like or love rhythm games, BUY THIS THING. Thanks for reading, if you got this far, and I really do hope you get this game. You will not regret it. Trust me.

This is my favorite game, of all time, ever. I got this game over i think 2 years ago and played it nonstop. The story is amazing and i hope to god that they make a continuation story in the future years. That said the gameplay is phenomenal and the soundtrack is so beautiful that you can get really immersed especially if you have headphones. This game will bring out your competitive side after you feel like youve gotten as good as possible you can always do better and the amazing people at Rayark have kept adding new content to the game so that there is never a dull moment. I have purchased most all of the DLC and have not regretted it. Each album is beautifully composed and most are extremely fun and fast paced. I have played Cytus, and CytusII, and VOEZ, but nothing gives you the absolute rush that Deemo does. The concept art in the game is the best ive seen in any game and i could go on and on about this game. I will be going to college to become a software engineer and it would be a dream to work with Rayark in the future. These developers have shown they really care about the quality of games they release and deserve the praise they get from us as a player community. <3

I received this game free because of their anniversary special. I’d say that this game would be perfect if it was always free, although usually there is a 3 dollars paywall normally. Usually I don’t care about the stories in these kinds of games, but when the developers try to attempt a good story, I want them to look at this game, the story is great, especially for a rhythm game. I had the Nintendo Switch version before getting the app, but all of the songs I saw on that version were pretty good. If you only buy the main game, you can keep the game pretty fresh, but only if you play every song given to you. But if your willing to throw some money at this game, then do that, especially if you get the Forgotten Hourglass DLC, because it adds a lot of different things to do, but it gets boring to progress if you don’t have new songs to play. Also, keep in mind that even if you are ok with the amount of songs you get to complete the DLC, the more you play a song, the less the tree will grow, making it very hard to progress. Despite the negatives, this is a very good game, and I recommend it to everyone who mentions rhythm games.

I first played Deemo around 8 years ago when i was but a wee widdle boy in his 5th grade, and it was because of this game that invoked an interest in music for me. I was somewhat heartbroken to have found that the game had unintentionally uninstalled itself due to a bug that is now fixed. By then I had about 2 years of experience in Deemo and i absolutely enjoyed my time during the experience. The music is amazing in all aspects and the game, although challenging, is very fun because of the very well illustrated story line. Fastforward several years, i am now graduating highschool and have reinstalled Deemo to find that the game is still giving the same pleasurable experience i had all those years ago and some very nostalgic music at the same time. Im not trying to be cheesy but i may have shed a tear while playing Mirror Night Reflection by VK because it was so beautiful and nostalgic :’) omg i lovw this game so much zmcbdkalapspfjfba s the developers deserve so much credit for what they have done for me and everyone else for the better part of the past decade I LOVE U

I was not expecting that ending. I recently finished the game within a few days and it's definitely one of the more memorable ones, if not the most beautiful mobile game you'll surely remember the journey to. Deemo is a rhythm game, with different available collections of albums and songs to each with three difficultly modes-easy, normal and hard. As you fly through the beautiful songs, the tree will continue to grow and then the stairs until Deemo returns to her world. The game has amazing songs, plot, ending, a gorgeous art style and is addictive. If you want to move on faster, there will be rooms you can enter after unlocking it with glowing orbs that'll spawn, which gives you extra height for the tree/staircase. Also after some period of time, you'll need to go through the different rooms to activate things. I absolutely love Deemo and it's definitely my favorite. I strongly recommend that you experience this wonderful journey with Deemo and little girl. And I applaud you if you aren't moved by this masterpiece.

This game is amazingly fun and can get very intense which only makes getting through a song on full combo that much more gratifying. I sincerely love this game and it's music. Yet even though I gave this game 5 stars, it does have its problems. Occasionally all your progress is deleted. But, hopefully before you start the game you go to setting and make sure the cloud button is on (it will be orange and bright with a white cloud). If you have this on, at the end of every song, the game will save no matter what and says something like "Progress saved" in the top left corner. If the progress deletes or even if the message pops up that it crashed, just got back to setting and make sure the cloud button is turned back on. One more problem is the calibration setting can be annoying but once the calibration (there is a setting to adjust it) is right, the game is so much fun with a variety of music between the DlC and regular songs given.

I’ve been playing Deemo for years now, let me start with that. I got it for free over 5 years ago, and honestly, I rotate through games a lot. I don’t even play that many rhythm games, and if I do, I delete them after a few months. But Deemo, despite the huge file size, has been a staple on every device I own for years. I was incredibly bad at first when I got it for free, and let my sister try it out. After seeing her do it successfully, I began to play. And my gosh, no game has made me cry as much as Deemo has. The story is artfully crafted, and the songs are beautiful (even the ones I can’t stand). I’ve made quite a few in-app purchases, and have never felt shafted by the content I’ve been given. The entire $10 IAP for replaying the game was worth it simply for Shattered Memories book 1, but honestly the number of times I’ve played Post-Script and cried is insane. I can’t rate this game highly enough. You owe it to yourself to try it out, please.

I literally got this game to play while I wait for the next update of Cytus 2.“Deemo” though, is unique in itself. Its beautifully cute! [edit: and evil. I was too soft] I was expecting there to be a lot of similarities between it and Cytus, but the way you play and the art style is even different. Actually, playing it can be calming. It’s casual and mellow. The tap notes sound like piano tiles. The story is kind of slow(at least in the beginning)[edit: until you realize what’s going on] but make sure you don’t miss that you should interact with the “home screen!” [Edit: it’s actually where the adventure is] Rayark has the best mobile game designs and art I know at this point. I wouldn’t mind working for them..ehehe. (They charge kinda expensively for add ons, they must be doing well) I think I’m gonna try out all their games like on Steam and stuff too, because whatever they make has to all be this good! [Edit: they’re also good at hurting my heart.]

Edit: I haven't had the issue again so yeah 5 stars This is my favorite app and I feel really bad for rating 1 star but this needs to be addressed. I had 50m tree and 100% stairs completed. I played a song and then my phone locked, so I unlocked it and everything was gone. I've spent at least 30 hours on this game and seeing it all gone makes me feel horrible. Now all of the collections I had are gone and all of my scores are gone. I've already played through the story twice and I really don't want to again so I guess I won't be playing this anymore. Please fix this so no one else has to deal with it Edit: I forced myself to play again and I finally got back into the game. I reached 44 meter tree, the game crashed, and I lost all of my progress again. The cloud save didn't work even though I had it on the whole time :/ this is just frustrating and disappointing

When's the last time a game has ever made you cry? Made you feel curious? All while providing gameplay that while simple when seen, is complex and deep as it progresses. This game has made my love for piano grow exponentially and introduced me to the world of Modern Korean/Japanese/Chinese pianists. True creators of beautiful pieces with deep meaning. Did I mention the songs are in English? It may not seem immediately obvious when you start playing them but look the lyrics up online and you'll find a cascade of delightful lyrics, poetic, of which I have spent hours searching up words for (did not know flowers were so complicated haha). 10/10 it was a thrill. It might not be as difficult for the hardcore gamer but it definitely provides a challenge, especially for those with the passion to learn and progress, finally getting that 100% on the tough song. :)

I’ve gone through and gotten a new IPad playing this game, meaning all my progress is gone :’D Unfortunately, I had to delete it from my other IPad about a year or so ago anyway due to storage problems, but now that I’ve got twice the storage, Deemo was one of the FIRST things I re-downloaded. There are so many different music tracks with so many different music types. There are songs from other rhythm games in here! I remember so, so long ago when I’d first completed this game. The story is heartbreaking, but happy. It’s about moving on and coming to terms with things. That there are things worth living for even if you don’t feel it at the time. To add onto that, it’s on piano with GREAT music and rhythm songs. To date, besides something like Beat Saber, this is THE best rhythm game I have ever played. ALSO For all the new players if you see this! This game has replay value. There isn’t only easy, normal, and hard versions of all the songs. On specific songs, after using the hourglass, you unlock EVEN HARDER versions after playing farther through the game. Heck, you unlock completely different areas when you use the hours glass. So KEEP PLAYING This game has a LOT to offer, and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. Thank you so much for creating this game Rayark!

I cannot overstate how impressive the storytelling is for a game that has 0 talking to it. I just finished the storyline and was brought to tears by an amazing score that somehow speaks volumes to the story. Now, I played this game before it had the staircase addition. I always wondered what was behind the door, and what kind of story the game was trying to tell. I puzzled over it, and had my suspicions. I have to say, though my suspicions were 100% correct, the story is still told in a way that brought me to tears. 100% worth the money, do not skip over this masterpiece. The composers have done a wonderful job with the music they created. The story is told perfectly through it all. Please don’t miss out on it; the higher difficulty can be frustrating at times, but it’s part of an overall experience that, and I cannot repeat enough, is worth your time.

This game peaked my interest by including a wide variety of fun songs and challenging rhythms and setting it all to a wonderful, albeit minimal, storyline. Don’t get me wrong, Deemo is a wonderful game and I don’t regret buying it. That being said, as I’ve gotten further along in the game, my desire as a completionist to finish songs with full “charming” combos has brought about a small sense of loathing. The game is waaaaay too finicky about what counts as a charming note or not, especially considering it doesn’t include a musical staff and it doesn’t count measures. You can only fully complete a song through either experimenting with timing, fully memorizing the song by playing it over and over, or by somehow managing to perfectly set your synchronization (the settings there are awful and confusing). If you don’t care about charming and just enjoy getting full combos, that’s still perfectly doable for the average driven player. However, you have to go the extra 500 miles (or be extremely talented/lucky) to even have a chance with charming. Still a great game, sorry if this review/essay makes it sound otherwise.

I’ve played several similar music/rhythm games before (on mobile, console and PC and I also play piano irl) and this is the only one I’ve ever encountered has a medium mode that is so difficult most songs are unplayable. So I haven’t even attempted the more difficult modes. And the easy mode is way too easy. So no mode is satisfying for me. And even though I’ve calibrated it multiple times, the notes still don’t seem to sync properly. Furthermore, even though I haven’t gotten too far into the game (due to finding the gameplay so unsatisfying) there seems to be little to no story, and there doesn’t seem to be that much content in the base game either. But it gets two stars instead of one due to me not being able to get that far into it. Maybe the story materializes at some point, but the easy gameplay is so mind-numbing and the medium gameplay so ridiculously hard that I’m not willing to continue unless this game is rebalanced and syncing issues are fixed. I kind of regret spending money on it, but I’m at least glad I didn’t pay for any of the add on packs.
