I feel like a lot of people is expecting SIFAS to be like the old SIF . In All Stars, your not suppose to be the one doing the lives , in a sense . Your(the Player/MC/Ayumu's childhood friend ) is suppose to be assisting them , managing things , helping them improve in doing what THEY do, which is doing lives , that's why we have AutoPlay now . Even in the story , your character tells everyone that he/she is NOT a school idol . He/she just supports them(like in a managerial sense , not like a fan ) some of the girls even call the Player Buchou , which I think translates to chief in a business sense . But well , that's how I've been seeing the game as , so I'm not really that bothered with the Player not being able to do Hard lives early on. I assume being an Idol takes a lot of hardwork to "get to thetop", so it makes sense to not be able to do Hard lives yet . But well , I'm rambling . Anyways , great game . I would suggest it to others , and I do. But don't expect SIF gameplay .
Finally the 3D version that we deserve has arrived. In general the game has a very high quality production values, fully voiced story, amazing artwork and design, top of the line waifus, good story so far to introduce the new group, new rhythm game gameplay which is refreshing, and best of all, high gacha rates values!
5% UR rates which is basically 40% chance to get one or more UR every 10 pulls. That's really high for any gacha games out there. The best thing about it is of course getting to know the waifus that you know and love. The dialogues are always good. Not only do we get the usual 2 groups that we love, there is one more group added exclusively for this game, and all of them are really waifu material.
Whether you are a new player or already a fan of the series, it's a game that everyone could enjoy.
EDIT: For the love of god, PLEASE stop commentimg on this. This review is over a year old, and I'm tired of getting random notifications of angry simps saying "uHm WeLl AcKsHuAlLy..." No. Just stop. Let me live in peace, please.
It's whale hell. Don't bother playing the game seriously unless you're a well-off individual who can afford blowing off all their money on overpriced in-game currency.
The game relies way too much on having good cards rather than being good at the game. I can't play higher level difficulty songs because my cards are shit. But I can't gacha for better cards because I'm a broke kid. Leaving me stuck on all these easy and normal difficulty songs, which are boring as hell to play.
And just imagine how much fun it is desperately grinding for event points on easy difficulty because there's a limited UR Ruby Kurosawa (best girl) available for people who rank 50,000 or lower, but you can only rank 150,000 at best because the game favors people who pay money over people with skill.
There's a lot of things I can put up with for my idol babies. But this shitty system is not one of those things. Oh well. I like Idolmaster more, anyway. Back to Deresute and Mirishita, then.
EDIT: So, my opinion has changed a bit. They've added more methods of gaining Stars, so they're significantly easier to obtain. My pull rates (emphasis on "MY") are still shit, personally. But my luck is awful, so that might have a hand in it. Events on the JPN servers are impossible to rank without bekng PtP, but it's much easier to rank on the international servers. This is NOT a rhythm game, it is an RPG. Doesn't excuse it for getting boring, through. Game is still definitely a cash grab, but it's *our* cash grab.
I feel like people who don't understand Japanese aren't able to take full advantage of this game. It took me a week of serious deducing for some of the fast-reading parts to realize the fine gameplay aspects, but once I figured it out, the game became SO much more fun.
For the record, you DON'T have to buy gems to enjoy the game. Getting gems work LITERALLY the exact same way as SIF classic, and the game is just too early to introduce tickets. (SIF Classic didn't get tickets until it's 3rd year in NA)
What makes a good "deck" is how you EVOLVE the cards, and I think that's the part that throw a lot of people off. Each song has a different set of "appeal missions" - sometimes it's how many Voltage points per note, sometimes it's how many DIFFERENT GIRLS per appeal period, sometimes it's timing an SP burst at the right moment.
Watch tutorials on how to play the game PROPERLY, and I can promise you that you'll enjoy it! (›´ω`‹ )
Love live finally got their own version of 3d
Ngl it looks good, but I'm scared when I saw umi face somehow
The gacha rate is 5% which is 40% chance
For you to get UR from your 10x
The gameplay reminds me of osu taiko but instead of one there's two of them
Which is refreshing after seeing so many rhythm game using the same old board
There's also skills panel between the two taiko lines
That you need to keep watch on
Everytime it fully charge you get points for it
For combos you need to hit above nice to keep the combo (which is almost hitting the whole middle circle minimal , A little off and your combos gone)
Also don't release the lines when you hold them because when it reach the middle it will apply itself
Now happy hunting and try to stay away from the salt
First of all the 3D graphics are subpar at best. Yes, it is exciting Love Live finally gets 3D models but I would have rather waited even longer if it meant we got models that didnt feel so stiff and doll-like along with the quality of them in general.
The 2D art on the other hand is [chef's kiss]!
They have more effort put into the story sections than in the OG game and I'm excited to actually read the story once global comes out! It's also nice to see SRs get more love here.
The music and voices are on point the girls all sound really good no complaints there.
The gameplay feels kind of eh. To me it's not exciting or anything to get hyped about.
Another thing already like in OG love live it's hard to not notice how much they want your money. I expect it from a new game like this but since love live's always been like this...
Overall I wanna say I was excited at first even knowing it's more RPG based but now am turned off from wanting to play more at least until global comes out.
Its a pretty interesting game if I may say so.... Many people kinda got disappointed in it because its not the upgrade from SIF that they were looking for but for people who appreciate the kind of game they are trying to make here then this is a pretty nice game... I primarilly think that this game was meant to played more casually so it doent have that much interactivity from the player the main focus instead it reading through the story and collecting all the outfits for your favorite girl.... I mean sure theres a meta that exists in the game but do you need to get the cards to play the game? Nah... instead it probably is the game where you can say completely "Waifus > Meta" so just get what girls you like the most
currently played this game since release and achieved end game and i feel an honest review is needed.
graphics and sound 5/5. absolutely gorgeous for a phone game and sounds great listening to the songs and bgms. no complaints.
the main focus of any game. is it FUN?
no
initially the game is fresh and introduces a rhythm game like the well known idolmaster and LLSIF which is an appealing experience as you jam through nostagic songs. the 3d models dancing further expands how appealing the visuals are while you play.
as you progress further into the game, you will hit a wall and be forced to grind material to upgrade your cards to play harder difficulties. for me, any game with an auto play function is poor. thats just my subjective opinion. to further insult me, a rhythm game with an auto button crossed the line.
i could say more but im limited to words. i cant recommend this game atm.
First of all: don't go in expecting sif 2.0! All stars is it's own game with new mechanics. It's a 'rhythm rpg' meaning the rhythm aspect is only 50% of the gameplay.
How that works is that stamina depletes each time you get a good or perfect or nice from the rhythm portion and you need good cards with good skills to complete a song. You get these by doing the gacha, training them, and unlocking nodes on the cards' idol road. Rinse and repeat. Simple enough, but not for everyone. Personally, i like it. It's something new and while I never could get into sif I'm loving All Stars!
The game looks good with a pretty UI and 3d graphics. The card art is stunning and the costumes are a big plus in keeping me interested! I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 lite and everything works fine for me. My phone does heat up during gameplay but not overly so.
So yeah! Try it out for yourself!
I don't understand why I see so many hate comments but if y'all hate this game then you're sick, complaining about how hard it is to get items and stuff like that but if it isn't hard then how would you enjoy it? so many other people are really happy about this game and are having fun after they waited for it to come out, the game is not disappointing, you are
