  • Summary: VOEZ is played by touching falling notes in time with the music.

    Set in a fictional town named Lan Kong Town, which is modelled after Yilan in Taiwan, the story is centred around six high school students who form a band that eventually achieves international fame.

    Gameplay is simple, requiring players to touch vertically falling notes that have hit a bar on the bottom of the screen.

    Depending on the song, the number of lanes for the notes increases and they shift side to side, making the screen look as if it is dancing to the music.

    There are over 100 songs in the library. Three difficulty levels Easy, Hard and Special are available. Players are able to choose difficulty levels according to their skill so they may enjoy all pieces.    … Expand

    A simply beautiful example of minimalistic elegance and functionality, refined to a near perfect degree.

    As music rhythm games go, VOEZ is one of the best I’ve ever played, up there with the likes of Parappa The Rapper, Hatsune Miku Project DIVA X and Gitaroo Man.

    In Switch’s launch lineup, this is the biggest surprise. A fascinating rhythm game that takes advantage of the touchscreen, sports a wide ranged soundtrack of almost 120 songs and an interesting art design.

    VOEZ is a beautiful rhythm game with a generous supply of songs and gorgeous artwork that makes you want to keep going back for more. The rhythm gameplay feels accurate and fits the songs nicely for the most part, particularly in harder difficulties, with a nicely designed learning curve to allow players to get into the swing of things.

    A surprisingly strong contender in the Nintendo Switch launch library, VOEZ is well worth its modest asking price for rhythm fans who need to scratch that IIDX itch.

    VOEZ is an outstanding musical title, but the way the difficulty progresses as the story does can be frustrating for many players. Still, for its price, it's a good choice if you like the genre.

    Voez makes its arrival on the Nintendo Switch as a rhythm game that features a wide selection of songs and making full use of the console's touchscreen. Those unaccustomed to this kind of games may find it repetitive and it can cause some physical discomfort after long periods of use, which along with a lack of a real progression system makes this a game aimed mostly at fans of the rhythm and music genre.

It has some problems, first being a lack of a progression system (which fans of this genre should be used to anyways) and the swipe touch controls on the Switch seem finicky at times, but it hasn't stopped me from putting in over 2400 hours on this amazing game. I picked this up before my 12 hour flight to Japan, assuming I would only play it for a few minutes before moving on to something else, but I ended up playing the entire trip there and back and every single day since then. Every few months they add new music for free to keep things feeling fresh. The difficulty ranges from the absolutely boring, toddler level, all the way to the completely impossible to all but the most talented of players and everything in between. The song selection is wonderful, the colors are great, the controls feel great, and everything about this game is just fantastic. The only real problem I have with it is that it has made all other rhythm games feel so vastly inferior that I don't think I could ever play anything else.… Expand

    I'm not a fan of rhythm games but I heard great things about this game so I took a chance, and I'm glad I did. VOEZ is a beautiful rhythm game that works amazing on the Switch. The songs are beautiful, game play is smooth and for the completionist it will take a lot of time to receive the highest ranking on every song with every difficulty. The price of the game is a little expensive, however if you compare it to the price of the mobile version buying separate songs, Switch players are saving lots of money. Overall a phenomenal game and a must have for any rhythm game fan.    … Expand

    The songs are bright compared to the Deemo, and in-game directing is more wonderful.

I played it without joy-cons in the touch screen mode. But I'm an average player, so I got stuck on a 'quest" 27/76 and probably won't be able to finish the story. So if you aren't great at rhythm games and you want to read the story it's probably not for you. I bought mine during a sale for $10 and it's worth it. Это орошая ритм игра для свитча. Но пройти вы ее сможете только в том случае, если вы можете действительно хорошо играть в ритм игры. Купила ее за 750 рублей по скидке, она стоит своих денег, особенно в подобном ценовом диапазоне на свитче… Expand

    Lacking compared to the other treyarch games. Quality of songs is also a little behind the others but that is mostly personal taste.
