My Rhythm Game Tier List (Ranking over 30 games!) 

this is so sad

9-year olds boutta spam the chat about how robeats should be higher and then call ballistic the hardest map in rhythm games. Edit: why must I fucking say this YES IK BALLISTIC IS EZ STOP FUCKING REPLYING ITS BEEN 1 MONTH. THIS COMMENT IS A JOKE.

chat was laughing about this logic on stream, too including myself XD

Lmao

At the beginning of the video she said that all rhythm games are fun, so D tier is less of a ‘bad’ tier as much as a ‘less fun by comparison’ tier

Yeah Deemo and C2 have god tier soundtracks, C1's is also really good

ya although i’m not a fan of cytus and deemo’s gameplay, the songs are really amazing ngl

Holy Knight and the entire K Chapter are absolute classics 🤧 Also DEEMO has Mili!

I just found this video randomly, and I was sad to find it in D tier. The story is pretty complex, but it's fun to follow along

I really like c2 personally

See you next time

See you next time

No rythym game has ever gotten me hooked as much as osu

*pp* and we all know it we just don't want to say it out loud

I started a month ago and was like, eh this is hard I’ll just try it and quit (That was my first mistake)

Same

I’d put it in s tier the songs are good but I really agree

if a 4k game works worse than mania you have a massive problem

Holy shit you are a fucking genius unlike the other fnf "rhythm gamers"

Yeah same I played rhythm games a while ago, but didn’t get back into them until recently when Friday Night Funkin’ came out and through that I found out about Tokaku’s channel. That game and Tokaku definitely got me back into rythym games so I could never dislike her or that game, despite it having some not so good input system (which I have hope for being improved because the game is nowehere near being finished yet.) Also I love the 80s game aesthetic cus it’s easier on my eyes when skimming through the menu to pick which level to play. It doesn’t have a lot to look at. Edit: spelt her name wrong ugh

That’s what I thought too

I wonder IF she can review Rhythm Heaven

definitely didnt watch most of the video to see if rhythm heaven was put in haha couldnt be me

@@waterized_bottle Why do you wonder that? Is it because it's only available for a couple of Nintendo consoles?

me not seeing Geometry Dash either

I can agree a bit (unless your talking about the original) because there are hard mods like the indie Cross nightmare songs, final destination, and Space Breaker. Unless people are actually that good!?

Fnf got me really into rhythm games. Before fnf I just played geometry dash once or twice and played beat saber some times, but after fnf, I really started to like rhythm games but I still only can do 4 more games and beat saber maps without weird notes and it feels like the poster of the RU-vid video would look down on me for that. I’m not casual on the same level as others but nobody would accept me into real rhythm game groups if I tried

FNF is a tribute to Newgrounds disguised as a rythm game.

@@-aiixhwxrya-4673 you didn't play the og piano tiles without ads then 😫😫 it was beautiful

Those games (and vib-ribbon) are always overlooked by the rhythm game community, even though they are sime of the most accessible and unique games out there. Honestly, they're some of the best rhythm games in my opinion. They don't rely on super quick thinking and insane precision or memorization like a lot of rhythm games do. they let the music and rhythm itselftake the front seat, which makes them so much fun, and a lot easier for people to actually pick up, while still providing a challenge

I like Parappa the rapper since I was a kid, I remember that I play the game on PlayStation portable.

I was introduced to rhythm games by rhythm heaven myself and really I wish the rhythm heaven series got more love

@@BHC7966 same! Rhythm heaven fever was my first ever rhythm game, and I played it religiously (and still do)

"a tiny bit of tweaking" HOW ABOUT A WHOLE LOT

@@pcgaming1268 what? What a whole lot? Tell me what is the problem in Week 7 engine?

and then the game died

Me too

100% true mate

Definitely, it's the most innovative rhythm game I've ever seen. Instead of just "click on circles at the right time" or "tap on the lines when they cross this other line", it's actually exploring interesting new concepts and teaching music theory. It's the most rhythmic rhythm game out there.

adofai too imo

so simple... yet the hardest single tap rhythm game... unless you count gd

@@zux128 heyo

I saw you somewhere else lol

But man it's expensive and not on Steam

Yeah that's a fair point, if xp was easier to get the game would be more fun to newer players. Since I've been playing the game for 2 years I don't have this issue but I totally understand why people get put off by it (I had to regrind when switching to android)

For the first game u dont need to grind it's just they were drunk making the second

@@galaxyvulture6649 Cytus 2 is a fever dream. Absolute grindfest and dlcs flooding the whole game, yet here i am, can't stop playing this damn game because i love it

Ok but real talk i hope Deemo 2 won't be like Cytus 2. I hope Deemo 2 will balance out dlcs and game content

Cytoid is the same mechanics but you can download whatever songs you want.

taiko took me way longer for me to get into, imo dash isn't hard to learn, you just need to play the correct maps

I know that, it's just that until you get to maps that require you to dash every second the movement doesn't really start to click in my opinion

I wouldn't say it is as much of a rhythm game though

It definetly is, playing ctb without sound is almost imposible after you pass like the 2 star range, the fact that it doesn't have timing windows doesn't make it less of a rythm game

@绿者Green Guy nah

@@driftinggames7500 Oh damn, sorry about that.

It’s comparing a free newgrounds rhythm game to games with a large team and tons of budget. They recently made a Kickstarter for the full FNF game so hopefully they can add new mechanics and keep people interested once they finish it.

@@bernkastel7438 it's not just about it being free to everyone, it's all about the mechanics, the playstyle of how the game works, especially offset, storyline if there is one. The replayability of the game is also needed, and the difficulty must be kept up to it's name. I'll gladly put the game to C if they re-chart all hard difficulties to have double inputs like it was supposed to be for every other rhythm game there is

It’s wasn’t even game intil now lol

@@MysticMocha Again, as you said, it's not that it's free, but it's an f-ing DEMO, the full game will evidently have a lot more polish in everything(Mostly considering they want to have DOUBLE the OST for the Erect Difficulty). For now, it's evidently really simple, but it will and _has_ to get better to live up to the hyoe.

it's not about the scrolling through the worlds that I had issues with actually! It's that erm, if there's going to be let's say... 40 worlds, oh god. the line is going to be so long. That's an issue I see coming in the future that they can only fix by changing it to list type scrolling, that's why I pointed it out LOL

Ahhh day made! Thanks for the reply! I totally feel this! Most of the devs focus has shifted to RD (the devs are super active in discord). There is a new update coming soon though. They also just redid the custom level select so you can sort and also search, so maybe that will come to the main 20 levels? I'll pass on your feedback to the devs. Once again thanks for being awesome!

@@tokaku The game split up the levels into multiple areas to sort of tackle this problem. There are the base 12 levels + one bonus level, then there are the extra stages (6 more challenging songs), and then 2 crown world stages (very hard compared to the rest of the game)

@Mr. Nobody. Ok but I’m pretty sure she was rating it in on just quality in general. Doesn’t matter if little jimmy tried hard on his art project. I completely get your point though

@Mr. Nobody. But the whole game wasn’t made by one person,Kawaiisprite made the music,phantomarcade and skr8 made the art/animations and ninjamuffin was the dev man

@@hoshiJi she said - She can't get into Maimai cause she say the buttons are too deep and that she always hits late. - She can't get into Bang dream cause she doesn't like Idol games and that gacha makes the scoring system hell Both are easily fixed though...

@@HaiHai-qy5py thats fair but if everyone fcs a song, they still wont get an SS if everyone had a weak band. same goes for solo lives

amazing taste

It looks fun! It’s pretty straightforward to learn at first and it’s charted to the beats and instrumentals mostly. I haven’t played it myself but if I got into the game more, I would probably be having a blast with it. I’m more into Project Diva even though I got introduced to Future Tone four months ago and I recently got Mega Mix for my Switch. Honestly those two rhythm games (Taiko and Project Diva) are some of the very few iconic rhythm games to me because their gameplay is straightforward and fun to figure out. I think why I can understand why Project Diva might be placed lower in some instances is because while the controls are simple and the tutorial and songs are super fun, it’s hard to master and you need a lot of investment to practice certain things like multi notes, holds, reading patterns and fast streams of notes for example. But once you do figure it out, it becomes really fun and challenging. Much like I think for Taiko is that it’s straightforward and fun to figure out at first but it definitely looks hard to master because you have to alternate between red and blue notes, you have to have really good rhythm for certain patterns, and you have to be good at knowing how to substitute between different notes. But again, once figured out, it becomes a fun challenge. :)

It's probably the mods, characters and songs. The base game by itself isn't very good, and most of its popularity comes from the mods. I personally enjoy the songs, they're bangers.

Because children.

i absoulutely dont get why its being compared to fully developed games such as osu mania, quaver, or etterna. people need to understand that fnf was made in one weekend, which is only 2 days, and it suddenly exploded without them knowing i like osu B)

I don't think the background is distracting, I mean they just do some moviments and thats It

@@welloetelloe depends if you've played rhythm games before, also if you have a high refresh rate. Anyway most of the mods have their songs unsyncronized with the clicks.

Ye community is trash but the game is so fun mods are EPIC

The fan base is way too filled with ped0s

I'm SORRY i can't believe I forgot about it myself! here's a copy pasted reply I made to another person: To summarise my thoughts on it, I've played a total of 10 games, so I can't accurately rate it. But I personally like it better than IIDX at least first impression wise (I'm one of those weirdos that use the beat pop skin to skip the whole learning which lane is which button curve, I need to fix that eventually). Definitely a solid contender for B+ if I knew more about it. It might even be an A, but for 'A' tier games and above games, they're generally reserved for games that stay fun even while you're going through walls or at the very end. For other games under A, the walls are just a drag when I reached them (since I haven't played popn enough to hit the walls, I don't know)

@@tokaku You're good, it's just surprising it flew on by! That is fair, I haven't really played it too much myself but it's interesting! I'm glad you have at least some fun with it!!

If you want a a stranger's opinion, as a taiko player learning pop'n music is hard and painful at first but when you really learn the 9 button placement by muscle memory it's gets good. Song selection is 😙👌 although it's lacking the huge selection of vocaloid tracks taiko has
