Deemo - Nintendo Switch

BEFORE YOU BUY, it's worth noting that the information on this page at the time of this review is incorrect: This is a port of the game Deemo, not Deemo: Last Recital. The former is the original version of the game while the latter is a significantly remastered version that adds additional play modes, extends the story, and adds a new after-story. A port of the original has been available for digital purchase on the Switch since 2017, while Last Recital is apparently still exclusive to the PS Vita. This is just a physical release of the Switch port of the original game. I was pretty disappointed when I booted this up only to find myself face to face with the same game I had already purchased digitally over a year ago, when I was expecting the remastered version. All this aside though, the original Deemo is still great with a surprisingly good story for a rhythm game, and fun gameplay that's easy to pick up on even for non-gamers. If you know how a piano works, you'll be able to figure this out pretty easily (although that doesn't necessarily mean the songs themselves will be a walk in the park). The Switch port comes with all the extra DLC songs that were offered in the original mobile version of the game built-in for free, and there are a ton of them. This is definitely not a game you'll be able to complete in just a few sittings if you're planning to play through everything. Overall this game is definitely worth its price even if you're not used to the rhythm genre. Just make sure you know that you're buying a port of the original version and not Last Recital.

Originally bought this to use with the Nintendo Labo Piano from the Variety Kit. Awesome rhythm based game. Is a big challenging if you're as uncoordinated as I am, but you'll get hours out of it just from the music!

This amiibo is magical! It’s one of the best amiibos yet! I just keep copying and pasting just for the points.

I’ll admit I’m a sucker for music based games. I’ve only heard of this game via word of mouth. It’s one of those whim purchases that I don’t regret. Worth adding to your Switch library.

If you liked xonic type game this will fit the game your like to play.

A music/rhythm game with a darker atmosphere and classical songs. Recommended

this a minimalist rhythm game that is done well. soundtrack is also done well making it an overall captivating experience.

Tons of music and challenging gameplay. Attach a labo keyboard to heighten the gameplay.
