If you watched the CIRCLE Entertainment / Flyhigh Works video showcase recently, one game that may have caught your attention was Deemo. Published by Flyhigh Works, it's developed by Rayark - that's the same company that brought us the rather good VOEZ in the early days of the eShop.
Deemo has made a strong reputation on mobile, with the publisher claiming in excess of 10 million downloads. As with VOEZ, however, the Switch release will ditch the free-to-start model and include a lot of content for one cost - it'll be $29.99 in the US, for example. The good news is that it's right around the corner; it'll arrive in North America and Europe on 28th September.
It offers a charming aesthetic and promises over 200 songs, with more to come in a future free update. It seems it'll be a touchscreen game rather like VOEZ, but controller support is planned for the big update due in late 2017.
We were impressed with VOEZ when it arrived alongside the Switch, so are certainly optimistic that Deemo will be another quality rhythm game for the system.
Are you tempted?

Picked it up from the Japanese eShop this morning. Really enjoying it so far so this'll keep me going for my rhythm fix for a while.
Tried it on mobile, didn't get into it.
...NEXT week?! Ugh still working on VOEZ...need a clone ASAP!
I'll likely pick this up next month.
No.
I just watched "wings of piano" on YouTube from this game and I want it so badly. But I don't think I stand a chance with it. And I was a master of Frequency/Amplitude
🤔🤔
I'll wait until there's controller support..
This is the only reason why I haven't picked up VOEZ yet...
I don't like tablet only games specially at this price..
This is my favorite mobile game. If it has a lot of the dlc I might pick it up, but I already have a lot of the dlc packs on android.
Also I hope it has the animated cutscenes from the vita version.
I prefer Beatmania IIDX / GITADORA / Pop'n Music / Dance Dance Revolution on Switch. Just like on IOs.
Wow, the controller support is big news! I wonder how it would even work. Probably gonna be picking this up day 1, just like VOEZ. I'm so glad that the Switch is getting so many great rhythm games, it was a genre the Wii U was severely lacking in!
I've heard it's great, though I'll admit I'm reluctant to drop that much on a mobile game port. I dunno, I guess I've come to see mobile games as more budget games...
I hope Deemo got a triial version
Yay more download mobile games..... no thanks.
@Filth_Element Not all mobile games are bad... -_-
Personally I'd like to see Daigasso! Band Brothers on Switch (and actually release in US).
Ah yes!!! Another Rayark hit! Thank God I didn't spend my remainder of money on Sonic Mania (Though I played it in PC)! I'm so excited for this!!! At this rate Cytus should be the next game to release!
@justin233 If they do, they better have the Splatoon tracks in there! I'll buy that day 1 the second it's live on the eShop!
A lot of these publishers could move significantly more quantity if they didn't hit such high price points. 30 bucks is too steep to risk on an experiment. $5-15 is my sweet "impulse" range.
This has made my morning, I may pick this and VOEZ up at the same time.
Now they need to bring Cytus to the Switch as well, and then Xonic is out shortly as well, my rhythm fingers are getting their fix 👌
It is only a matter of time before a Rhythm Heaven arrives.
Will Deemo have a demo?
@jbrodack you can get it on your phone as demo.
My phone is always running out of space, so it's good to know that Deemo is coming to switch! For those on the fence, there is a story, and the song selection is much better than Voez.
@ThomasWhitehead , sorry for being a bit rude, but Deemo isn't free-to-play on mobile like Voez, it costs $1.99
Deemo is 60 tracks for free, then $4 a chapter and there's over 30 chapters — that's a lot of money. Still $30 is steep for a digital lease. Same reason I passed on VOEZ.
I'll give it a spin on mobile then decide if it's worth the Switch port for all the content. $30 doesn't phase me, have easily spent more in one sitting on other F2P games.
In related news: they have now announced that VOEZ will get an update with TV mode/controller support. It has sold 40,000 units so far.
@AG_Awesome Deemo is actually pretty easy! You probably saw someone doing the song on hard with their speed on 5. I’m pretty bad at rhythm games but I got through the story with a few full combos (all on easy though ). You should be able to complete the story easily!
