Lyrica is a rhythm game that is unique in many ways. It is musically diverse, but its main feature is the inclusion of classic Chinese poems. By combining the beauty of ancient literature with modern music styles like Rock, Jazz, and EDM, Lyrica creates a cross-cultural experience. The 'Drunken Moon' edition expands on the story of legendary poets, offering players a deep narrative path alongside challenging rhythm-based gameplay and stunning calligraphic art.

Our Expert Score
Lyrica -Drunken Moon- is a captivating fusion of classic Chinese literature and modern rhythm gameplay. It stands out in a crowded genre by weaving the poetry of the Tang Dynasty into its narrative and mechanics. The aesthetic is incredibly refined, utilizing a 'sumi-e' inspired art style that feels both ancient and avant-garde. For players who appreciate cultural depth in their games, Lyrica provides an educational yet deeply emotional journey.
The rhythm mechanics are precise and varied, offering different note types that mimic the calligraphy of the poems being recited. It isn't just about hitting buttons to a beat; it’s about the flow of the lyrics and the story of the characters. While the difficulty can spike significantly on higher levels, the 'Drunken Moon' expansion adds layers of story and music that make it a must-play for fans of Deemo or Cytus. It is a rare example of a rhythm game that values its soul as much as its soundtrack.

Premium music game
Sat Feb 09 2019 estawasI just finished the whole story (on hard mode run) and I have to say that the goals are quite challenging. Later chapters require you to basically get full combo though the charts aren’t particularly challenging. The accuracy system is very generous (it’s very very easy to get a perfect rating with a slightly off-rhythm tap). Level tens are quite hard but once you get the hang of the mechanics it’s not so technically demanding to get full combo Eg. no super fast machine gun or tricky hand intertwining required, but you’ll need to judge the rhythm of your taps carefully. One thing I don’t like is how the game charges an unreasonable amount of money for contents. 4 songs for 4 bucks?! There are even two songs which can only be unlocked through RNG. At least you get around ~20 songs with the purchase of the app. The game has a decent selection of music, if you’re into pop music style.
A unique music experience with asian ethinic music.
Wed Dec 25 2019 Thomicool64I was a little uncertain about whether I wanted to get it, seeing the negative rating. After trying it I just don’t see why it’s so underrated. It runs very smoothly and deserves at least the same rating as famous titles like Cytus. The gameplay is similar to Osu with focus on calm ethnic music.
Getting better
Fri Jan 28 2022 King BlurbThe current state of the game is pretty good right now with plenty of charts. They’ve done a decent job consistently adding charts and updating the “special” difficulty.
Masterpiece

Pay for ads
Mon Jan 21 2019 HtytdDecent rhythm game, but its insulting that I payrd $2 for this game, and to play a song on master, I have to watch an ad or pay 100 coins. You get the coins every time you ocmplete a song, but its still so dumb that I have to watch ads in a game i payed money for.
