O2Jam Remix: A Mobile Rhythm Game Revival Worth Checking Out?
Remember O2Jam, the rhythm game that defined a genre? Its mobile reboot, O2Jam Remix, is here, and it's aiming to recapture the magic. But does it succeed? Let's dive in.
The original O2Jam, released in 2003, was a massive hit. Sadly, publisher bankruptcy led to its closure. While attempts at revivals on various platforms, including an Android release in 2020, fell short, O2Jam Remix is striving to right the wrongs of the past.
One key improvement is the sheer number of tracks. O2Jam Remix boasts 158 songs in 7-key mode and a whopping 297 in 4 or 5-key mode. Highlights include tracks like V3, Fly Magpie, Electro Fantasy, Volcano, 0.1, Milk Chocolate, Earth Quake, and Identity Part II.
Gameplay is smoother, and social features have received a significant upgrade. Connecting with friends, chatting, and checking global rankings are now easier than ever. An updated in-game shop offers fresh items to purchase.
Currently, a login event rewards players with exclusive items like Cute Rabbit Ears and Star Wish. Download O2Jam Remix from the official website. The original game (O2Jam) is also available on the Google Play Store for those interested in the prequel.
Nostalgia alone isn't enough; a game needs to evolve. Whether Valofe's O2Jam Remix delivers a satisfying experience remains to be seen. For more gaming news, check out our coverage of the Dresden Files Co-op Card Game's sixth expansion, "Faithful Friends."
