One of the ‘hidden gems’ on the early Switch eShop was that of VOEZ, a smartphone rhythm game that takes advantage of the system’s touch screen to provide some high-speed beat matching thrills. We really liked the game when we reviewed it, citing the large amount of content as a big plus. Fortunately, in a new update Rayark games has opted to build upon that content with some new stuff.
VOEZ version 1.2 is coming out soon, and it will add twelve brand new songs to the available mix. A new trailer shows off all the songs, and it seems like there’s a good variety being offered here, both in terms of difficulty and genre. Take a look:
And for those of you that have perhaps been on the fence with this, Rayark is also putting out a free demo on the eShop alongside the update.
What do you think? How did you like Voez? Do you think there’ll be more updates like this in the future? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Now here's some great news!
Love this game! One of the first eShop games I bought on the Switch, I'm glad the devs are constantly adding new songs!
Been on the shelf bout this one; I enjoy some rhythm games but am not the best at them. The demo will help me decide.
Let's try it!
@FX102A I have it and it's extremely difficult imo.
Great game and terrific value for money
@Zimon
Yes, it's crazy difficult, sometimes even on medium difficulty already. And I'm not doing myself a favor by playing the songs with my right hand only. Because I only ever play it on the train I need the left hand to hold the console. It feels awkward placing the Switch on my lap, and on the train it doesn't feel a secure placing either... So one-handed it is. Outside the hardest difficulty I still mostly manage a B-ranking, but only very few perfect combos... Oh well. It's still a rather enjoyable game with tons of content.
For some reason I struggle on non-PlayStation rhythm games.
I'm pretty good on Hatsune Miku games on hard difficulty so I will definitely give this a shot but I think the X360-era ruined my co-ordination between X and Y (XBox to Nintendo pads).
I blame MS.
@CTMike
This is exclusively played on the touch screen anyway, no buttons involved. And in harder difficulties you will need to coordinate both hands with four fingers each and must have crazy reflexes (or know the song and stage REALLY well) to pull it off at all... it's still fun though, don't get me wrong.
I really like it although I haven't been playing it for weeks. Might be a good time to jump im again. As someone who's not that good with rhythm games I especially like, that the song doesn't end early when you do poorly.
@JunkRabbit
I play with my two thumps most of the time. Only for the harder songs I need more than two fingers.
@countzero
Well, I used to play the piano, so I'm inclined (and used) to using more than one finger of each hand anyway... But when playing one-handed the parts where two notes slide apart or closer together are the tricky ones to coordinate... That's when I usually mess up the chain.
All rhythm games should have demos so that is good.
Is the demo not out (yet) in Europe? I really want to try this since I've been on the fence since launch, but going to the Voez page on the eShop, there is no button for a demo download.
@Zimon At most I can play Level 12-13 Songs in Special Mode. Nothing more. I tried a lot to go further but either my fingers are too big or the screen is too small... Or I'm just making excuses
Loving the free song updates. I thought the 18 songs we got in June would be the first and last.
Feels weird getting free contents like this in the age of paid dlcs and season pass.
@Yosher : It's available in the Japanese eShop. English is included.
I like Voez but I'm really hoping they'll get around to porting Deemo to Switch. That's a game that looks more like the traditional rhythm game experience I've been looking for.
@sillygostly I know it's available on the Japanese one, but you'd need to make a Japanese Nintendo account for it, which I don't really want to do. They promised the demo would come to the eShop worldwide, so I shouldn't have to load up the Japanese one for it in the first place.
@JunkRabbit oh great. Will definitely give it blast then!
Looked cute but never got this game.
