$180 - $190 issue – Cytus II Review

Look I genuinely liked this game at a point. I had hope for what was to come of this game. Every update they added something good, but now? You would be lucky to see any updates that hasn’t done the “Hey we are collaborating with some music artist, buy this pack speech.” Or “We added a new character, but it cost $10’s and it may not even have a lot of content or good songs, but buy it anyway.” the characters could run you $100 to $110 depending if you want a channel character named Kizuna AI that’s dying as a channel, and can’t even break 50k views anymore. They added a system called capso you have to pay $10’s to access. Beneath that is a “coming soon” tab. Now let’s get this straight I have played for 2 years almost, and they have not done a single thing with this tab. So don’t get your hopes up that they may add a free version of the capso. This is RayArk we are talking about. They seem to have a track record of this “music pack” business since Cytus 1, and it’s getting there again. $5’s a pack and there is 16 of them. Each pack only has 5 songs some if not most of those songs in the packs are not very good, and most of the time only 2 of them sound decent. This game when it first came out was actually kinda good they didn’t have capso, and they only had a few characters that were relevant to the story. Song packs were kinda ok, but now they have since devolved into mediocrity or just junk. If you just want a few songs that are ok for free wait till this game goes free. Yeah this game goes free occasionally, and from my perspective it looks like they are trying to inflate sales counts to convince people it’s selling like hot cakes. Nah it’s just because it went free so people are jumping on the “I don’t have to pay $1.99” bandwagon. Trust me you will be glad you didn’t pay that $1.99 since they expect you to buy capso, dead channel characters from YouTube, and song packs filled with junk. All in all it’s a game better for free, and full of expensive in game purchases ranging from $100 - $110 for characters ($120 if you got Miku), $80 for song packs (that’s all 16) and $10 for a Capso system that will never go free. As evident by the nearly 2 years the coming soon tab has been beneath it. Two stars at best.
