I can't understand the language ;_; but easy enough to progress (trust me!) it's just that learning kanji is really hard when you don't speak and live the language. I'm jealous some people can understand what's going on! So... for those out there, thank you for the translation! But like I said, my japanese is zero, but this game can tell you what to do, trust me! ;^; I love this game I score a lot, generous reward! You can easily gather them I swear! This game is generous please consider giving a try! I love Mizuki, he's my personality! Every month there's two songs to play so watch out for monthly updates!
this game is great, story is really good, instead of idols, it focuses more on performances, all characters in this game are adults with the youngest being 18
the story timeline happens in real time which means the characters have actual ages (yes they actually aged), there are schedules for the cast members (perfomance day, staff, off day) which i find interesting as tiny details
SPOILER ALERT FOR A STORY SUMMARY
the story tells us about an MC who got invited into as a special guest in a Perfomance Restaurant named Starless, where she meet all the cast. While being a guest in there, the MC discover her hidden past related to a murder she witness that she apparently forgot about it (MC had an Amnesia)
the gameplay is not really focused on rhythm it focuses more on your cards/skill strategy, you can still play the rythm too while positioning you own cards/skill
in a summary it's like this:
rhythm mode: you play rhythm, the skills activated automatically, from 1-5 according to the position
auto mode: the rhythm is auto but you activate the skill manually
there's also rehearsal mode where you increase character levels on each songs, this mode is important to achieve high scores but this mode is just tapping (something like A3! or twisted wonderland). Note: this mode is also used to increase your heroine level, which affects on how fast your skill gauge fill during rhythm mode. Rehearsal is the only way you can increase your heroine level)
and the songs, dont forget about the song, the song ARE GREAT, i have to use capitals because its so great.
instead of voice actors, actual singers are the one who sings it. i cant list them all but there are some famous name like Fujita Ray, Kobayashi Taro, Kradness, Ajikko, etc.
each team has their own style of music which is very interesting too
each perfomances and music are based on famous literatures, both from western and japan
in example: During the Demise tells about Lohengrin, Breaking it faster tells about Romeo and Juliet
so yeah get ready to listen a rock song about Romeo and Juliet or a catchy pop song about Wizard of Oz
the gacha is well, a gacha. its not bad, rather than *5, the game focuses more on *4 cards. Even new cards added in gachas are actually *4s with *5 initial are the only cards you can gacha, the rest *5 are rewards from events which is i think is really nice (i honestly prefer grinding rather than gacha to death) BUT yes theres a but, not major but good luck fighting *4 with other *4s hehe (KOKUYOU PLS COME HOME I'M BEGGING YOU *SOBS*)
The good news tho, the strong cards are mostly from the regular gachas one like staff cards and stage cards, there are limited event gachas but they are mostly used to boost a particular song and event points, they're usually useless outside of it (with maybe some cards as an exception like off day cards)
and uh, you might get bit weird from the UI interface but eh, you'll get used to it
overall i really recommend this game, its really good, especially the story, each character has its own depth and hidden past/identity, not to mention all the names that are currently used are stage names which means we dont know their real names and how the character is outside starless (there are some scenes and mentions about it but never detailed), which made it more interesting. And oh, they didnt hesitate to make a character quit (actually stop performing, 100%) so yeah we might never know what happen next to other characters lmao
that's all for my review, i rarely review games but this i love this game so much i want to review it. sorry for the messy grammars, english is not my first language.
I adore the music so much! This game has some of the best songs that have come out of newer games these past three years. The gameplay is simple, some songs you have to memorize in order to get a full combo to carry on but its enjoyable.
The characters are great (team mizuki here, I have a love-hate relationship to him, he's such a little sht) and the dialog is funny.
The gacha is more luck based, I myself either had great luck and scouted once and got the card I wanted or didnt get it on even the 15th scout...
Overall a really enjoyable game!
You have 2 modes: rehearsal and rhythm
Just keep rehearsing to upgrade characters' and song's level, then you will be able to get a higher score
Also, chips is necessary to raise the final score (I use it to complete missions since I'm sucks ;_;)
This is also a story rich game, though I can't understand japanese, there seem to have a lot of drama
Personally, I don't really like the gameplay that much. It's kinda confusing to me
But I will still keep playing for the music, honestly the music is such a gold 🙏❤
Graphics: I'm quite shocked to see a not live 2D game nowadays, but its a welcome surprise. Art is great, but UI is a bit outdated but again, I kinda like it and it ain't half-bad.
Sound: The music/songs are total bops. Different genres, not just rap or rock (if you thought that because of the style). Some voice acting (personally) I think doesn't suit some characters.
Gameplay: The rhythm aspect is different from the norm. There are no flicks (hello anti flick peeps) but still fun and a little challenging because of like in some songs, the notes will come at you depending on the beat. Example, if there is a pause in the beat, the notes will stop then will only continue if the beat continues, make sense? I kinda hate it, but eh. I guess the major downside is the hard to get mats for upgrade/level up of units.
Storyline: I'm only reading translations, and I haven't fully read all available content so, maybe next time.
Value: A fun rhythm game with a twist. Donuts likes to give twists in their rhythm games, huh. Def would recommend to rhythm game connoisseurs if you want something a little different.
A diamond in the rough! 💎✨
Characters a bit messed up, but they have nice voices and interesting personalities.
True rivalry between characters, and the battles result are decided by all players.
The best part are the awesme songs, sung by real artists!!!
I've been playing it since the release and I'm enjoying it fully and without paying any money at all.
Not your usual rhythm game, an interesting change of pace if you're looking for something a bit different!
hhhhhi :3, i've been playing this game for more than 4 years if im not wrong, and this is my rating. (not lined up, sorryy :'< )
Graphics = ~ If you like hot, pretty and cute people, come here, this is the perfect place for you~ The chars graphic are soooooo yummy, and its perfect[cheffkiss], i do love their design sm ^^, esp. Rin-sama, Sin-sensei, Moku-san, Mizu-kun, hehe🥹🥹(dont mind me). its a 5 out of 5 obv, this game's design is one of the prettiest design i've ever saw💟
Story = ~ We played as Saki Kazami(She/Her), A special 'guest' to the theater!(im not here to spoiler yaa💔). First, I dont really understand JP while i first played this, so i had tried to translate some of the story by myself, and i have a little trouble with it- so im not that sure about it first either lol. But after years, i do understand the story(s0—s5), and now im planning to translate s6 if i have free time, since i havent read s6. The story here focuses on Kei, Heath, "What about MC?" She's sometimes in the story too~ but not that much of a focus, hhh, also there's some otome moments(ifykyk) and you might blush for their (kinda) flirting LOL. Overall its a 4.5/5 for me~꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡
Songs = ~ The songs are pretty good, my favs are mostly from teamB(tskr heath-kun), if i need to be honest, i love his vocals in Somewhere, his voice w/ akira-kun really match eachother wwww. But do check out other teams too~ Zaku-sama vocals are majestic♪(ignore me being a simp ig..), total of the singer here are.. 9? 10? if im not wrong, since i havent counted them back HAHAH🥹, more singer means more amazing songs tho~ 5/5(人 •͈ᴗ•͈)
Gameplay = from the rhythm games i've played(Such as En★, Hy-mic, P-sk, Arc-ea, Phig-os, etc.), this one is.. lets say, easier- even though there's some questionable things, like the notes getting more speed(?? idk whats the name, sorry!!)(Ningen Shikekku im looking at you), its overall p. easy, becareful for level 25—27 wwww... that is a nightmare for me(even thought i've played harder difficulty in other games ykyk).. 4/5..(●´⌓`●)
Overall for me, its an 4.6/5~ Almost perfect★ Congratulations Bsts/Burasuta/Blst~!
This game has some of the most amazing music tracks ever. I have found myself getting a lot of the songs stuck in my head, compelling me to keep playing.
There are also plenty of characters to love, so you're never bored of playing. The character building aspect of this game can get pretty confusing, and getting items to build up your characters can be tough, especially when clearing missions involves having higher level characters, which you don't always have while playing.
Come for the amazing music, stay for the pretty boys performing the music!
man, i don't know what to say.
saw hot dudes, so i downloaded it. the music is bomb, graphics are wonderful. and, hot. dudes.
since its all in japanese, (forgive me) i don't actually understand any of what's happening in the game. i was mostly in it since it was a rythym game. read the fan wiki for some more info but i still don't get most of the stuff (this is just me being dumb) xD
but yeah, pretty nice game
I downloaded this game a few days ago, not expecting a whole lot, but honestly I'm beyond impressed. Normally I dislike when the MC's personality is built for you, but this time I actually quite like it. She isn't made to be dainty and frail, like other games make their MCs.
I really enjoy the wide range of characters that are given, but honestly some of their personalities seem a bit bland or overused. The main love interests are all pretty generic when it comes to otome games, but hey, that's what the people like.
The art style is something that really popped out to me, it's unique and a bit rougher while still keeping them fanservice-y. The tiny versions of all the characters are absolutely adorable, I've honestly never wanted to hug a character in my life as much as I'd like to with these!
The rhythm aspect of the game has got to be one of my favorites yet. I love the fact that rather than being based more around pop music, it's more rock/metal. The songs themselves I really like, most of them are pretty catchy and I quite enjoy playing them.
The actual beatmaps are a bit underwhelming. They're definitely fun to play, but as someone who has played many rhythm games, they don't really meet my expectations (though I admit they're pretty high). The difficulty levels are all pretty easy, and with the way the game is set up, you can easily just play with your thumbs. Don't get me wrong, it's still very fun for me to play, I just have high standards
All in all, I still recommend this game!
