    some of the best music in any rhythm game i played unfortunately it's chained to the evil satanic demonic company known as neowiz and their hitlerite business model

    Style & Presentation DJMAX RESPECT V is an absolute visual aura farming fest for rhythm game fans. The developers completely nailed the presentation. From the sleek menus to the gorgeous background animations that play during each track, the game has a remarkably polished identity. It creates an incredibly immersive environment that makes you want to keep playing just to see what the next song feels like. The customizable gears, note skins and sound fx also add a lot of personalization to the…

    dont get me wrong this is a good game with a lot of love put into it, but theres no way anyone should buy this when its not on sale. $50 for the base game and $670.77 including all the dlc is beyond ridiculous. so if you dont feel like coughing up a bunch of money, just stick to osu!mania or quaver or stepmania (which are free and dont make you pay to access songs). also muse dash costs $2.99 but the muse dash song pack for this game costs $17.99??? why. just why.

    Gameplay is fine. Difficulty gives it high replay value. But thumbs down for lack of an offline and/or local 2 player mode which is a fatal flaw that works against justifying base game & dlc prices. Music is great tho Get this on sale

    I’ll put this as a recommendation just in case, but there are definitely some things worth mentioning. Let's start with the positives. The UI is very neat, clean, and easy on the eyes. Everything feels modern and polished. The visual novel mode was also a pleasant surprise. I honestly didn't expect a rhythm game to include a VN, but it's an interesting addition that helps it stand out from the crowd. The game is supporting their respective artist that is included in this game. Now for the…

    To be Honest The Gameplay Is Totally fine and Fun to play on But however I don't GET WHY the base game is like 40$ and More worse is How much DLCS they offer you and its like 700$ for all of them just for one game. I rather get ANY other rhythm game and the massive download storage is killing me ( Yes I get that the massive sale on this game reduces the prices for almost all DLC but what im saying that this game feels like a cash grab just slamming dlcs on to your face while other rhythm games…

    This game truly makes me feel like I have a skill issue. Here I was struggling with a map, fighting for my life to try and get a full combo and a 97%+ on a map, only to learn there are different difficulties. I am a casual consumer of rhythm games, I dont have the tism to master them. Fun nontheless.

    As much as I enjoy this game, $50 for a rhythm game that is forced always online is insane. If you're wanting to get into 6/8 key the track lists in this game are great, but with an always online DRM (meaning this game has an expiration date), DLCs that can cost up to $30, ontop of the $50 base price, the "convenience" this game offers over spending some time getting convert tracks on Osu!Mania is a hard sell. Also, for an always online rhythm game, where a lot of the game is held in the…

    Honestly, the game is far more fun than I assumed it would be. It's just like guitar hero, but with much more customization, more diverse music, and the overdrive is used automatically instead of requiring you to use it. The options on hand are insane, you can choose between four different button options, you can complete customize your track, you can even choose the sounds your beats make. The amount of content on offer here is staggering, but it comes with a price. The elephant in the room…

    88GB without DLCs in this economy is absolutely disgusting. The gameplay is good , and subjectively, some songs are good, however I think a the vast majority of songs feel like filler to me, They're all some kind of techno or instrumental and they all sound very similar to me. Don't forget that it has a lot of dlc songs, and buying all of them is really expensive. I know there are already plenty of songs in the game and you aren't expected to buy them all from the get-go, but as I said…

    It's a very well presented rhythm game with tons of content in various difficulties in 4, 5, 6 and 8 button modes. Unfortunately, the music that comes with the base game is pretty bad on the whole, which in a music game is just a killer. I found maybe 3 songs I wanted to play a second time, out of the 30 or so I tried.

The UI and everything feels high effort and I like how the game looks, and the mapping is very good, but its FIFTY DOLLARS for a 4k rhythm game, but get this, you use shift keys, OOOOooOOoooOO! I was lucky enough to get this game for 4 dollars off a steam key but seriously, charging 50 whole USD for this game feels straight up egotistical. As if that price tag weren't bad enough, LOOK AT THE DLC LIST. You spend 50 dollars and there's still so…

    Respect V is the one rhythm game that feels whole to me. Every chart is masterfully designed for the song, the collection of available songs is as expansive as it is enjoyable, and the whole thing checks all the boxes for tailoring your experience to your exact preference. Everything from sounds, to visuals, to speed, to buttons, to home UI. One top-ranked Korean player I practice with said it cleanly: "그 자체로 Respect은 거의 완벽하다." Which roughly equates to "For what it is, Respect is basically…

    DJMax Respect V is a polished key-based rhythm game. If you come from similar free-to-play games (like Osu!mania, Etterna, or Quaver) and wonder if this might be worth your money, just ignore all the negative reviews complaining about pricing. The base game and most DLCs are 80% off during every major Steam sale, and at that point, the amount of content and its quality make it easily worth it. There are: - A lot of tracks (~200 in the base game alone), covering a wide range of styles and…

    I've played Osu Mania for 10 years not knowing there where other games out there with the same 4 key play style, and got up to being able to clear 5 star maps on 4 keys. Before getting this game, I got EZ2ON because I was waiting for the Christmas sale. That game was impressive other than the hotdog water sounding songs. It is CRAZY how good DJMAX is and it blows EZ2ON out of the water. It's more professional, has amazing songs in my favorite genres, and the mapping is the best I've ever seen.…

    It's such a good rhythm game, maybe even the best on Steam, but it has so many things going against it. I'll start with my biggest issue with the game, Xigncode. A notoriously invasive anti-cheat which still runs in the background EVEN WHEN YOU DELETE THE GAME!! And getting rid of it is a pain in the ass. It's genuinely the worst anti-cheat one can have installed on their PC, I'd rather have Riot's Vanguard than Xigncode. If you have an issue with this (which you probably should), don't get…

Extreme serif stroke contrast. Bold fills and negative space. Flaunting a champagne-colored, strict beauty.

    DJMax Respect V is a fantastic rhythm game with polished gameplay, multiple play styles, and a wide range of difficulties that suit both beginners and veterans. The song selection is huge and diverse, though the experience is somewhat held back by the heavy reliance on paid DLC, which can make the full package feel expensive.

If you try to play this game with no internet on, forget it, it won't work, even on Free Mode, the game will not let you play. If you want a comparison, I normally play Osu!Mania, and I feel like the 4* songs in there are harder than the really hard songs in this game.
