the game is plagued but the curse of wanting to be cross platform.
the mobile version has some performance issues, and finnicky hitboxes for fingers.
Also, the game has weird desing choices that should have failed the Q&A, like the trails of the dark blue hold note that daes not contrast at all with the background.
and if you wanted to play for the story, you're in for disapointment.
the songs are good at least, and the maps would be fun to play if the mappers knew which platform they would be played on, you don't map a mobile game thesame way as a pc game.
Honestly, the PC version is just as "meh". The story is... God, there's no other way to say it. The story is absolute crap. You play one or two songs, then you're stuck clicking through poorly translated garbage text. Every scene plays out exactly the same: a girl gets a memory back, and the memory is the same as the rest. Woo... so exciting. The music is technically good, but if you're not a fan of the specific genre, that's that. There's no variety, just about every song is exactly the same genre. The beatmaps, on PC, are tolerable, but could be better. It suffers from a common problem in rhythm games, wherein there's either absurdly easy beatmaps, or insanely difficult ones, with little in between. Also, the scoring system is bizarre: even when I do terrible, by other rhythm games' standards, I still somehow come out with an S. Overall, the PC version is an OK-ish rhythm game with a terrible story slapped on top and constant interruptions to gameplay. I dropped it fast; I'd rather play just about any other rhythm game in my collection.

TL;DR: Is this game worth the money? Maybe, but ONLY if you REALLY like the genre of music they selected (I assume it's J-Pop, but I'm not certain; not my cuppa). If not, I'd skip this one. If you've got a PC, just pick up MASH VP! Re:VISION instead. Or on Android, just download Phira. KAMITSUBAKI is almost certainly not worth your time and money.
