Phigros - The Free Rhythm Game You Should Be Playing

[@HiLordReilo]

[From the future] The game received a massive overhaul in 2.0 update. There's no shop now, instead you buy songs right from song list. (Though I have no idea how to get avatars for your profile now, as you could've only get them through buying in shop or by Datamining, which also got removed with the shop.) They've also added that "master song list" or whatever you call it. It is unlocked after you beat chapter 6 or 7 (can't remember, I think it was unlocked for me when I just updated to 2.0 and I had completed ch6, so idk). You can access all the songs in the game from this list. Also, from this list you can access a new Challenge Mode: play a set of 3 maps on a stricter judgment timings and get an additional skill measure number on you profile plate (kinda like Dan Courses in various rhythm games, but you build your course yourself) First three chapters were merged into one and all the charts were overhauled (actually this happened long before 2.0, but still worth to mention) New charts may be quite challenging, but are well done! April fools charts are also something, though this year there was a trouble with Regrets of Yellow Tulip when an entire chart was offset by a huge amount of time (don't know if only I got this problem :/ ) Some old charts in other collections besides 1-3 chapters were also recharted, but you still can access old IN charts after some point if you'd like to. There's two collaboration packs with other rhythm games (Muse Dash, KALPA) and one collab song in Singles (Mountain Eater from MusynX) There also more somewhat famous artists came into the game, such as Reku Mochizuki, Silentroom and rN. The game became more friendly tho the player overall. Like do you remember how tips literally roasted player pre2.0? "If your scores are not satisfactory, maybe rhythm games are just not for you", I still remember this tip, even though maybe not very clear. Now Phigros does completely opposite and motivates the player through tips. Even tutorial level Introduction got a remix that made it sound more lively and friendly! And finally, dB Doll got an AT difficulty and it's the easiest in the whole game - Lv.13, moving MopeMope AT 14 to a second place in the easiest another's list.

[@pora5000]

About the MS Paint backgrounds, if you pay attention they're actually changing some of them after every update lol, guess it just took a while for the artists to draw. Also, they said it themselves that this will be a completely free game and will never be profitable in any way. There are donation sites as far as I heard but I don't know much about Chinese websites. There's a wayyy bigger problem that the players have with this game aside from the UI: song choice and chart quality in the early chapters. Though this is pretty much unavoidable for a rhythm game that's completely free like this, there are a lot of bad charts for the whole 3 first chapters, along with a bunch in the Singles pack (even the devs and charters themselves agree this is so low-quality with what they make later, for example compare Engine x Start with Break Through The Barrier [same charter]), and you actually have to play through all of them in order to progress. This is actually the reason why a lot of people quitted the game. I hope that they move these songs to an optional pack instead of being a roadblock for those who are new.

[@xinlidai1642]

oh, I think he's talking about cereris. In the case of that song in specific, the graphic is based on the music video.

[@pora5000]

They'll be redrawing all the background images by themselves to make it original, similar to Dynamix

[@prawnchips9461]

i actually had the same problem. When i first played it, i only played the first 2 chapters and then just quit because the charts, arts, and the UI looks cheap and unpolished (especially compared to other rhythm games). I know it's free, but i don't mind paying a little bit for a more polished experience. But then i found Phigros "leave all behind" playthrough on youtube and the chart looks SO MUCH better than the first chapter charts i previously played. So i tried Phigros again, unlocking chapter 5 ASAP, astonished by the updates, and now i can't stop playing it.

[@M0RAX]

@Telirium eyy I love magenta potion too 😄

[@deceptivecompactmemoryseal610]

I saw this vid passing by on my recommendation and seeing this comments and replies pretty agreeable Well 2.3.0/or 2.3.1 (cause of bug fix) It looked pretty decent now tbh They added Legacy Chapters which combines all First 3 chapters along with new chart updates, Yes they're also changing Arts Like PRAW, Fuli Autoshooter. (You can still play old charts by tapping "Legacy" on Middle Bottom of Screen! But you can't see your Previous Record) [Pretty sure why they quit this game is because *Theyre Jumping through High Difficulty Charts thinking this should be EZ PZ for them to beat but Fails Miserably* and also having Visual Confusion via Moving Judgement/Fading Lines] They also Made a Collab with Musynx but pretty sad its only one track (I hope they can do more) :( [I also Heard some people says Collab Requires money But does it really? ] ______________________________ My comment about Those guys who quit about The game needing progress: Damn those guys are pretty lazy

This game is probably one of the few games that I'd be happy to spend money on along with Arcaea, Lanota, and Dynamix. The only problem I have is I'm still 13 so I don't know how to buy in-game currencies like memories in Arcaea

[@MonsterPlusArt]

Phigros, unlike most of rhythm games, is non-profitable, which means all songs are unlockable without the help of real currency. If you wonder how to get those currencies to play songs in Single collection, just clear any difficulties with A rank or above to get "data", the higher the rank and harder the chart, the more data it gets.

@@MonsterPlusArt oh what I meant was if they ever produce paid content I'd gladly spend money, although thanks for the info
