Rotaeno is one of the only games I’ve played which feels like it was designed for a smartphone first and foremost. The motion controls are incredibly precise, and gameplay feels superb! But the real praise to be given is that the game is monetized incredibly fairly. You pay money for songs, and there’s zero gacha mechanics. You always feel like you’re getting value for money entered, and the game never feels like it’s trying to nickel and dime you. The developers are awesome and actively put in effort to make charts that people are excited to play. I can’t wait to see where they take the game next!
Fell in love with this game. The notes perfectly fit the song, and its just so satisfying to play. I was nervous at first because you only use your thumbs to play, and that it costs money when most games don’t, but its so worth it. The simple gameplay is refreshing and fun, and the payment of only three dollars means no ads and no subscriptions! A breath of fresh air when every app ever uses subscription service. Would absolutely recommend this game!
Everything about Rotaeno has blew me away, from the game mechanics to the story! But, there is one thing that I may be picky about. I'm not sure if this is just an iPhone 13 thing, but the game audio quality, especially for songs, is noticeably worse on IOS devices than on non-IOS devices. I've noticed that non-IOS devices present crisp and clear audio, while IOS devices have this low quality and compressed feel to the game. So, if there is a way to fix this problem, hopefully it gets fixed soon, before it becomes a bigger problem in the future. The game audio is the one thing that's stopping me from calling Rotaeno "perfect."
Such an awesome game!! I’ve been a fan of rhythm games for a while and when I saw this game on twitter, I immediately had to pre-order it. I was instantly in love with this game when i started playing it!! It’s incredibly smooth with such unique gameplay that’s extremely fun to play. This game is definitely worth the couple of bucks needed to buy it, and in my opinion it might be one of the best mobile rhythm games on the App Store at the moment. Love it!
Already one of the best rhythm games I’ve ever played. A new concept which I didn’t see before, the games has an amazing look, has a couple of difficulty levels for each song, and great progression system. The only problem on Iphone is that the home bar hides some text on the ui buttons. Other than that the game plays perfectly! Amazing game!
In an age dominated by SAMEY rhythm games with the same types of gameplay, Rotaeno brings a fresh take! Personally I see it as a mix of Lanota, Colorful Stage(or other sega mobile lane), but with the addition of the gyroscopic movement and it’s incredibly addicting! I’m so excited for new planets to be added as I am now invested in the story and lore being built! I’m so excited to see where we go from here ❤️
After 3 years of waiting I thought it was vaporware. Then it released when I wasn't looking. Very well designed rhythm game, designed around a smartphone's interface. Rotation is swift and responsive, charting is fun and challenging. Song list is a little small, but it's only a month out from launch. Overall, loving it
On the iPhone 12 mini, things on the screen get cut off so I can’t tap to enter some menus. Also in the settings, there’s no way to invert motion controls. The gameplay itself is fun, but sometimes it didn’t turn correctly when I tilted my phone. Hopefully the game becomes more optimized soon. Right now, it feels unplayable on iPhone 12 mini at the very least. Maybe it’s better on other devices. The core gameplay is really cool and I can’t wait to see what more they have to offer in the future :)
Rotaeno is a heart-pounding, thumb-tapping, wrist-flicking rhythm game that fully utilizes your device's gyroscope for an unprecedented musical experience.
