An addictive mobile rhythm game that is probably the closest most people are going to be able to get to playing sound voltex. The artcore aesthetic is pretty lit too.

The one big thing people mention about Arcaea is the extremely slow and grindy gacha-style progression. You start out with hardly any songs and unlocking songs in world mode is a very slow process, especially early on when your support characters are at a low level.

In a way I kind of don't mind this tho? At least in the context of a mobile game. The fact that the switch version has this same progression system is reprehensible but on android/iOS it feels less out of place. The small playlist you have at first encourages you to get truly attached to and familiar with the songs (which you'll definitely need to do to pass them on future difficulty) and each new song that's unlocked feels like a genuinely big and exciting event. A good game to play in short bursts like during work breaks due to the great soundtrack and engaging gameplay.
