Scar's Top 25 Video Games v. Mario, Mario, Maria, MerioWelcome to my top 25 video games list. I will try my best to update this list daily and I hope to finish this list in a month. Hope you guys enjoy this top 25 list!! I'll also try to be as descriptive as possible.
Number 25: CytusClocking at number 25 is the game Cytus. Cytus is a rhythm game developed by Rayark Games, an independent game developer in Taiwan.
Plot:
The name Cytus is taken from Cocytus, the Greek mythological river of wailing or lamentation. Cytus features a story plot that is carried through its 10 main chapters as well as a prologue. The story revolves around the protagonist, Vanessa, who lives in a 22nd-century world where robots with human memories are the only remaining sentient beings while living humans are killed by a mutant virus. Due to limited memory space, human emotions are stored in the form of music in "Cytus", and by playing the songs, the robots are able to revive their human emotions. The plot features the disaster and the protagonist's struggle with identity. The story is told in-game through various cut-scenes that are unique to the chapter title songs; in comparison, the other individual songs within each chapter are at most only marginally relevant to the plot, except for a limited few.Gameplay:The main gameplay of Cytus features the Active Scan Line, a black line that move up and down across the screen. The player taps circular objects, referred to as Notes, as the Active Scan Line passes over them, following the music.
Three types of Notes are used. The Click Note, a single circular note, requires tapping the object in time. The Drag Note, a continuous track of notes, requires dragging along the track. The Hold Note, a note with an extended ribbon meter, requires holding over the note until the meter is filled. Notes to be hit as the line rises are colored blue and purple, while those as the line drops are colored yellow and green.
Each Note is judged by the accuracy to be either Perfect, Good, Bad or Miss. The better the accuracy, the higher score is given. The maximum score is 1,000,000, and a minimum of 700,000 is required to clear a stage. After a stage ends, various metrics are provided to show the player's performance, including score, TP, a letter grade, and numbers of hits in each type of judgement.[/color]
Cytus includes more than 100 songs available for play in the game, spanning a variety of genres including pop music, trance music and drum and bass. The music is composed and performed by independent composers and artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea. Vocaloid engines are also used.
How I found about this game and why I like it:In my U.S History Class, my friend was playing this rhythm game and I could hear the songs. His hands moved everywhere and I was impressed when he aced a song. I asked him what this song was and he simply replied, "Halycon." The music in this game was superb and that was what peaked my interest. Now, it's not any rock or metal genre's, but still the music was super catchy. I learned that this game on Google Play was free so I managed to download and I soon fell in love with it. Some of these songs are in my music playlist.
Here are my favorite Cytus songs. You should check them out if you have time......
1) Halycon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OI3C9qQlb1U3) L (Really nice piano+violin):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqaJ8KhlAzEMost players make the mistake of using only 2 index to play some songs, but all 10 fingers are needed for most songs! The songs are divided into Easy and Hard. Easy has much more less notes than Hard and they are both ranged from 1-9 (1 being the easiest and 9 being the hardest).
