Key Features
- A Wide Variety of Musical Genres and Difficulty Levels
- The game includes over 500 songs across many genres created by Japanese and Taiwanese artists.
- Difficulty options range from [Easy] and [Normal] to [Chaos], so players of all skill levels can enjoy the experience.
- Controls
- During performance, a “borderline” moves up and down the screen in sync with music’s rhythm, while notes emerge from the back of the screen.
- Players earn points by tapping the screen exactly when a note lines up with the moving borderline.
- The timing and pattern of the notes follow the song’s melody and beat, so gameplay feels like playing a musical instrument—successful play depends on tapping accurately in time with the music.
Storyline
In the far future, technology has redefined the internet—and life can seamlessly sync between the real world and virtual reality.
Within cyTus, a vast virtual internet space, a legendary DJ known as Æsir appeared seemingly out of nowhere. With each note, his music didn’t just play—it resonated deep within the audiences’ minds and souls.
Then, Æsir finally broke his silence. He announced he would be holding Æsir-FEST—a mega virtual concert that will bring together top global vocalists and world-famous DJs to perform.
The announcement spread instantly. The entire world started talking and asking the same question: Who is Æsir, really?
As the show drew near, history was made. One hour before Æsir-FEST, the previous world record for most simultaneous connections was shattered.
Millions across the globe waited in anticipation for Æsir to reveal himself…
