Reception

"As a comic, it feels like an Archie Comics title, but without the familiarity of the characters."—Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin. [2] "I can see this book finding a welcome audience among young women, particularly if they're avid gamers."—A. E. Sparrow, IGN . [3] "A more likeable cast of characters with believable motives could make Rhysmyth a lot more fun than it actually is."—Nadia Oxford, Mania. [4] "Rhysmyth feels formulaic, despite being a cool idea for a game."—Clara Yamasaka, Newtype USA . [5] "The characters and their wacky hijinks are clichéd and the art is stiff and blocky, but that can be forgiven if volume two continues to build on the tension created during the showdown between Elena and Taylor."—Eva Volin, Teenreads.com.
