To be honest, I have been playing this game on and off for more than half a year. From the beginning when I was obsessed with the R group playlist, to now I play it every day. It can be said that it has completely integrated into the rhythm of my life. Today, I'm going to talk about my real gaming experience to friends who are still watching. I'm not going to brag about it, it's purely a personal experience.
In terms of graphics, the quality of the card surface is absolutely top-notch. Each four-star card illustration is as exquisite as wallpaper, and the 3D modeling in the live performance mode does not stretch your hips. When playing songs, you can see the actions of the characters live on the stage, which directly increases the sense of immersion. Particularly worth mentioning is the MV mode. The positioning, lighting, and camera movement of the five players are all done very carefully. Once the image quality of Hongtuan and Morfonica comes out, other similar mobile games are really difficult to play. However, in terms of shortcomings, the game package is a bit large, the loading time is long, and every time you click on live, you have to spin in circles, which deducts some points.
In terms of gameplay, the core of the audio game is actually more judgment-friendly! A handicapped person like me can pass the HC difficulty level after practicing for about two weeks, and the full combo is not out of reach. It has a total of five colored buttons and sliders, which is easy to get started but also challenging to master. Moreover, the chart quality of each song is quite high, which relatively restores the rhythm of the original song. At the same time, the band development and plot system are also quite rich. The small theater and the bonding story of the members are easy to get addicted to. But one thing I'm not satisfied with is that the activity mechanism is basically a fixed routine, which involves grinding points, rankings, and playing activity tracks. After a long time, it does feel a bit too boring. For an office worker like me, playing the same song pack every day without thinking is really tiring.
The monetization part must be discussed. The payment model of this game is essentially a conventional formula of drawing cards and monthly passes. I remember that the five-star probability is about 3%, but the guarantee is relatively deep, and it can really make people's blood pressure soar. However, one thing worth affirming is that the Samsung cards given out in each event are indeed very conscientious. You can get them if you are willing, and players without krypton can still play. I did my own calculations and found that apart from the monthly card and the occasional gift pack, the monthly expenditure is actually not particularly exaggerated. But if you are a compulsive collector, then this game is simply a bottomless pit, so please prepare yourself mentally.
From a social perspective, the collaboration mode is really fun! You can form a team with friends to play songs, and you can also post expressions and interact in the lobby of the room. The sense of accomplishment when five people complete the performance together is very pleasant. The band plot in the game is also very appealing. Each group has its own style and concept, especially the bond between the two songs of Group R is really sweet and sweet. I have met a few of my friends in the game, and we make regular appointments every week to play songs and chat together. This kind of social experience is a plus in similar games.
Overall, the advantages of this game are obvious. It is well-made, has a rich music library, is a benchmark for IP audio games, and the character charm is also very easy to create an emotional connection with. However, the shortcomings cannot be ignored. The experience of drawing cards in the early stage is average, the repetition rate of activity gameplay is high, and it is easy to turn into a check-in style in the later stage, making all gameplays dull. Overall, I give it a score of 9.4/10. It is definitely not a perfect game, but if you like music rhythm games or have a fondness for girl band themes, then it is definitely worth a try. Even if it is only viewed as a mobile audio game with a rich music library, its quality is enough to live up to this expectation.
For those who haven't gotten into the game yet, you might as well download and give it a try. Maybe you can find your own resonance in the dreams and music of girls. 😉
