Context YMMV / Deemo

Go To

1* AntiClimaxBoss: Chapter K from ''VideoGame/{{Cytus}}'' is back, split into the Knight Iris and Knight Rosabell books. "The Fallen Bloom", representing the chapter's climatic [[spoiler:DuelToTheDeath between Iris and Rosabell]], is rated only a 7 on Hard. To compare, the ''first'' song in the duology, the happy and peppy song "The Way We Were", is [[BossInMookClothing rated a 9]] [[SoundtrackDissonance on the same difficulty]].
2* EpilepticTrees: Following the [[DisturbingStatistic Disturbing Number]] entry from the main page, there were many different theories of what Deemo is about, one of them is that Deemo is someone important to the girl and the songs also give hints of {{Foreshadowing}} of what truly happened to the girl. "Run Go Run" was a blatant one which foreshadows that [[spoiler: the girl was involved in a car accident.]]
3** Then there are theories that the masked lady is someone in real life who wanted Deemo to give up on the girl.
4** Most of the thought up theories had been confirmed as of the 2.00 Update.
5* PolishedPort: Similar to VideoGame/{{Voez}}, The Platform/NintendoSwitch version has the songs unlocking through natural progression in the story, and fixes the below criticism by simply making it to where you don't have to buy ''any'' song packs. It's fully inclusive.
6** In a subversion, The Platform/PlaystationPortable version was an acceptable alternative to the mobile version, ''but'' at the price of having one of the smallest song libraries of any version, and none of the AntiGrinding mechanics of the 3.0 update and Switch version are present.
7* ScrappyMechanic: On top of paying 2 USD for the game, you ''have'' to buy song packs unless you like having your tree grow in microscopic increments per song played, since you only gain significant tree growth for playing a song for the first time or getting either a full combo (not missing a note) or a 100% combo (getting a full combo ''and'' all charming notes). Sometimes the game goes on sale...which is ''pointless'' because 1. it's only a $1 discount, and 2. the DLC song packs ''never go on sale''. Fixed in the 3.0 update, in which light orbs occasionally appear to give you substantial tree growth or steps progress.
8* ThatOneLevel:
9** The debate of the most hardest songs changes in each version. As of now, Anima is the placeholder of the hardest song among all of the free songs for Deemo.
10** For the Vanros Kloud pack, Pure White takes the cake, while it is relatively easy for level 10, it is, however, a MarathonLevel as the song last for 3 minutes.
11** The [=M2U=] pack has Lune, a song that paces back and forth between a fast paced to slow song throughout the duration that leaves you with no breaks.
12** In the Shattered Memories pack, Run Lads Run is this due to the high tempo and fast pacing. It's even called [[FanNickname "The second coming of Anima"]].
13** Aragami rivals Anima in sheer difficulty.
14** The Forgotten Hourglass update adds Extra difficulty charts to existing songs. A few of the songs happen to include '''[[OhCrap Anima and Aragami.]]''' Have fun!
15** Say hello to Marigold, the final unlockable song in the Forgotten Hourglass update, which makes ''Myosotis'' and ''Anima'' look like '''Easy''' songs in comparison. It is rated '''''12''''' on the hard difficulty. Have fun.
16* TheWoobie: The Little Girl/[[spoiler:Alice]] and the Masked Lady/[[spoiler:Celia]]. Oh boy...
17** [[spoiler: Alice starts off the game perfectly fine. She's a bit amnesiac and afraid at first, but she was fine... Until {{The Reveal}} strikes. It turns out that her brother died protecting her from a truck, and she was knocked into a coma due to this. When she realized that Hans was dead, she broke into tears, and when she woke up, she still broke down. This poor girl...]]
