Best iPhone Rhythm Games

Cytus II, $1.99 – [Review] – [Forum Thread] – If you thought 2018 would be the year that Rayark releases a bad rhythm game, well, you’d be wrong. Cytus II has all the trimmings of a fabulous rhythm game with a wide array of songs to tap along to, but where this series really stands out is the odd inclusion of a surprisingly cool sci-fi narrative set in the future where the online and real world have sort of blended together. It serves as an interesting intermission to the rhythm gameplay and does a lot to keep you engaged throughout the game. But, if the story doesn’t do it for you, the rhythm components can totally stand on their own. -EH

ELOH, $2.99 – [Review] – [Forum Thread] – By now I imagine everyone has played one of those laser puzzles where you place angled mirrors around a level to bounce a laser to an end goal. From the folks who brought us the fantastic Old Man’s Journey, ELOH takes that basic idea and turns it into a rhythm game. You’ll place various “spirits" on a board in order to bounce the musical wave lengths to individual goals, and you’ll need to pay attention to the angles of those wave lengths and how they bounce off of the spirits to figure out where to place each one. The best part about ELOH is its personality. Each spirit has an expression and unique sound, so that once you have a board of them all place together it makes an awesome little tune. It’s almost hypnotic as you play and chill out to the beat, and with no time limit pressures or anything like that, ELOH is the perfect game to curl up with and get lost for a while. – JN

Thumper: Pocket Edition, $4.99 – [News] – [Forum Thread] – When it comes to games that release on other platforms, there are many games I’d love to play on iOS but understand when ports don’t or can’t happen. I never thoought Thumper would make the jump to iOS but here we are. I played a ton of this on Switch but having it on iPhone with single handed control options is great. This also happens to be a complete port of the console game (without VR obviously) at a fraction of the price. If you enjoy music games, you need this. -MM
