Everyone in these reviews seem to be filling it with word spams, so I'll give an actual review for anyone if they see it.
If you are looking for a rhythm game that involves tapping a screen, and has vocaloid covers/music, you are in the right place.
This game has a very good rhythm game inside of it, with tapping that usually registers and with challenging charts as you move up the difficulty. The difficulty does spike I think between hard -> expert but it is just a matter of moving up levels slowly (or brute forcing it like my sister did, but I digress). The rhythm game is a very nice experience on both mobile and tablet, but I believe a tablet is better for the harder difficulty, however you should take that with a grain of salt as that is just my opinion! Playing on a wide phone is not a pleasant experience for me, since I have small hands, but playing on a phone is not a bad experience or anything, I believe the game does work quite well.
The characters in this game are very well-written in my opinion, even the characters you may grow to not like. I personally don't really like Mafuyu as a person but her struggles and her character, for what it is, is well-written. The 5 groups in this game all have their each seperate story with 20 episodes in it, which you unlock by playing songs with cards of the characters in their respective groups, or by reading area conversations in the overworld. The episodes are not very long and give a good introduction of each group and character individually, with the event stories then developing each character with their respective struggles and dynamics with other characters. There have been many events so it is quite hard at this stage to read all of them, I would recommend to read the main story of the group you like the look of the most, and get to know those characters. If any of them appeal to you, then you can read the event stories surrounding that character. There are also side stories for each card which can be unlocked using in game items, so if you are interested in a certain character, these side stories are a good way to know them better.
The gacha system is also alright, it is easy to tell whether you have a 3* or 4* based on colour, 3* means yellow and 4* means purple. The indication of a "flip" is also shown clearly, with the floor that Miku steps on turning into a purple circle instead of rainbow or the floor becoming transparent with the purple circle. The rate of a 4* being 3% isn't that bad in my opinion, and there will be occasional Dream Festivals, where the 3% becomes 6%, with special limited cards as well.
The cards in this game are also very well drawn, they have a consistent anime style and are very high quality. In JP, as of August 2022 when I'm writing this, the cards have been slowly implementing a newer style with the anime style, with nice colours and illustrations. The card quality in consistent throughout all 4*s and even the 3* cards are still very nice to use if you don't have a 4*.
Grinding for crystals in this game is not bad once you know where to look, (I'd recommend looking up some youtube videos before you start) and in the early game it is very rewarding, however once you reach Rank 50 and have played most of the songs with full combo's, crystals become much harder to get. It takes much longer to rank up and playing songs you don't like doesn't appeal to many people. Fortunately, in the JP version, the music library is much vaster than the Global version at the time of writing this.
If you want a version which has newer events, more songs and a more updated game, then I would recommend the JP version. Even if you can't speak japanese, there are probably translations out there for the game, and the UI of the game isn't that hard to understand. If you don't want to play the game because of the language, then the Global version is for you. It is currently catching up to JP in events but it has many songs and gives you the same experience. There are many instagram accounts that regularly update and post about Project Sekai on both versions and there are youtube guides out there in case you are confused or need a preview of the game.
I hope this review helped! ♡
I'm going to be making a lot of comparisons to Garupa, also known as Girl's Band Party, because they are very similar.
For being one of the first mobile games featuring the Piapro characters that I've ever played, it's actually really good. It introduces a few new human characters that are all interesting.
Pros:
Gameplay is similar to Garupa's, so if you played it you have an advantage. One difference is the notes, you can't really change the size of the notes in Sekai, and the notes vary, they can take up the enitre lane or be really tiny. Another is the character ranks. By reading area convos and playing, you can increase character ranks as well.
The game has five difficulties, Easy, Normal, Hard, Expert, and Master. The game can be played by casuals and hardcore players. So don't worry too much about game difficulty.
Song list is actually very diverse, and include popular producers and some who are not as known. Mikito-P, MitchieM, KZ, Kemu, Mafumafu, Junky-P, Nero, and other producers have songs that are featured in the game. They also were nice enough to include songs from other Virtual Singers
The characters are all really interesting and the voice actors are really talented. The covers are great, and I actually enjoy playing with some of them. Not to mention they're all really unique, so I'm sure you'll find a character you'll like.
There seems to be constant events in the game, just like Garupa. So there will always be something new to grind for, if you're into that.
The graphics are great, as excepted from Colorful Palette. The characters look so pretty, especially my husband Kaito. The chibis are also really cute.
Gachas are a bit more expensive, than Garupa. But they make up for it by being very generous. Reading convos and increasing character ranks are very rewarding.
Cons:
Grinding in this game is hellish. Training/practicing characters is a difficult grind to do. I don't mind it, because I have little 3★ and 4★ (not because of gacha rates).
Ranking in this game is also very difficult. There are about 20 million people playing this game, so obviously ranking is going to be tough. Rewards for ranking are decent, top tens usually get enough crystals to do one pull.
The tunning for the Virtual Singers can be very choppy. I'm sure they tried, but it sound super off sometimes. The cover for Fragile using Len and Kaito sounds weird. And Meiko sounds too soft in Hibana. It sounds good in other cases though, like Kaito in Dappou Rock. It could be tuned that way for the human singers, but it's not fitting sometimes.
best rhythm game ever, it has KAITO which makes it even more better, i hope they add more songs like Girl A, im currently trying to get all KAITO cards on both Japanese version and English version, i love the game so much KAITO, Rui, Shiho and Tsukasa my beloved, i have nothing to say about the fandom except that they get really mad if you use low speed and not use expert or master on the game
Now that I've played for a few days, I'll give an actual review. I've been in love with Vocaloid for five years now, so I might be biased （ ῀ᢦ῀ ）Anyway, let's start with the live portion. The flick notes suck, as per usual, although the sliding notes are fun. Multi live is pretty fun, as I tend to get very competitive lol. The beatmaps tend to freeze up in the middle of the lives, especially in the multi portion, but thankfully the game just pauses instead of making me fail a live. Gacha rates are your typical gacha rates, and I really like the costume and stamp systems although it's hard to get the items for them. The story is fully voiced, minus the Cryptonloids, although I don't read Japanese well enough to properly judge it. All in all, if you want a game like Bandori or you're just a simp for Hatsune Miku, I highly recommend it!! :)
As a vocaloid fan for a lot of long years now, this game is literally heaven. They have a lot of songs from different vocaloid producers, both recent and older. Unlike the other vocaloid games Sega has produced, such as the Project DIVA series on Playstation, this game features more vocaloids than the original cast. (such as Uma, Gumi and IA)
The art and cards from this game are simply amazing. The game has both male, female, and one nonbinary character, so there's quite a bit of variety.
The gacha rates are actually pretty good, from personal experience. You can expect 4*s in about 20-30 pulls, and usually it's one of the rate ups in the current event. Whether I'm just lucky or not, the rates are certainly not as bad as other gacha games.
The gameplay has to be one of my favorites aspects about this game. As a pretty good bandori player, it was not hard to get used to proseka's gameplay at all. The sliders and notes are beginner friendly, and the songs are usually really enjoyable to play, especially on higher difficulties. Even if you have no other experience with rhythm games, it's really easy to get into proseka.
I would love to see more vocaloid producers being introduced into the game in the future, as well as more wonderful covers by the singers.
Also Rui is literally too hot to exist. Also Toya. Also Akito. Also Tsukasa. Thank you for your time.
If you have played bandori before then you will have no problem adapting to this one. They use the same gameplay!
Rhythm game but the songs are vocaloid songs, as I vocaloid song enthusiast I just had to try it out and so I did.
I love the game so far I've being playing for a while now and I can say the events in this game are going "I am speed" and it will be hard to save up if you have a specific character you want from gacha. Unless you don't have a specific character you like the most, then disregard this one lol
I love the characters too and their stories, all of them are unique in their own way! Yes, there are bois here in this game too! (coughs one of the reason I picked it up as well)
But you know what I hate?... Flicks... Evil incarnate.. combo breaker, destroyer of worlds.. Lol, haha I'm kidding! Or am I?
Well, whatever, don't listen to a stranger like me, just try out the game if you haven't yet and judge for yourself!
its a great game, sadly due to a glitch (which i have tried to fix countless times, i even emailed company support but it didnt work) i can no longer enjoy the game. It takes ages to load a song and then after completing it i get the black screen of death, after 1 minute of the black screen the game just crashes and stops working so i have to close the game, this causes that im not able to get song rewards so its impossible to participate in events. Ive unistalled the app 4 times!!! And yet it doesn't get fixedits so frustrating!
As i said its a great game! I really used to enjoy it so yes play it but it can and maybe will get glitchy and or laggy depending of your device! Personally im hoping that in a later update the problem gets fixed but oh well
retries and failing lives don't cost stamina. that alone should be enough to sell you. that combined with a comparatively generous event system (letting you choose rewards rather than working thru a set progression) makes this whole thing feel like if bandori was about 50% less pushy about microtransactions. i mean, they're still there, but the rate at which your resources drain feels a lot less predatory than a lot of other idol games.
also yuki nakashima is there so it's an automatic 5 stars from me chief
честно говоря это очень скучно............... очередная проходная ритмуха, коих на рынке и без того куча кучная. типа, от той же бандуры секай мало чем отличается. в плане геймплея по крайней мере. исходя из этого, кстати, я не очень понимаю, откуда у секая столько положительных оценок. из-за узнаваемых и любимых песен? так убери их, заменив на оригинальные — и получится типичная неинтересная ритмуха, которая, скорее всего, потонет в миллиардах других подобных игр. а может, секай цепляет графонием? ну, на вкус и цвет, но даже графон тут какой-то проходной. типичное аниме. без каких-либо изюминок.
не знаю короч.................. пока что посижу чисто ради руи. вот руи ховошенький. всё остальное — уже не очень.
nice!
cant understand the story since its Japanese but:
pros: 3D lives - for like Christmas or character's birthday there wilk be some lives in different time of the day so peiple with different time zones xan all see the live.
- intuitive layout even if its Japanese
- its cool that you can unlock songs in MASTER by doing that song in expert with 7 or less "good"(or lower) notes.
- you can turn off 3D MV during live if you cant concentrate
- there is the retry button (many games (like banG dream) send you to home screen and you have to enter live again, unless you buy a pass)
cons: - gems arw incredibly hard to earn and gacha costs a lot :')
- after 20/25 mins starts lagging and you have to close and reopen the game
- they give too few tickets to buy songs, so you cant unlock all (i play since October and i still have ~15 songs not unlocked)
edit: repetitive events, gets kinda boring. i just log to get daily gems. latest updates got MASSIVE bad aspects. loading screen time (chapter / story loading, between areas, etc) is VERY long (this was an issue on 2021 and they fixed it for like 1 month and then bye???) and lags much more. always used same phone that during 2021 summer managed to play lv27/28 without lag, now after 15~ minutes the phone overheats and/or lags. it was a bug in optimization when the game launched and it was fixed near may. its back again after anniversary and new year updates. if the game keeps going like this I'll probably loose interest. no hate since im affectionate to all the characters and the beautiful art. but these things..
