Look as much as i love the characters the game honestly sucks
theres barely anything to do and theres only really the story to keep you coming back
not to mention that its not even that great anymore
plus with crunchyroll and all that
honestly itll be better if you just stick with the anime
not like they do anything significant with anyone outside of the main handful
sheffi and mana deserve better man

I thought the game was just mediocre. The gameplay wasn't very enjoyable, and enhancing girls didn't feel satisfying. Also, it had translation issues, or at least proofreading isssues in many story chapters, felt like they didn't care in that regard. To be honest, I was patiently waiting for the game to die, enjoying every moment and I won't really miss it. In a way, it feels like the many tie-in licensed games from back in the day. All the stories were a retelling of same stories from the anime, complete with some scenes and video clips. It wasn't the worst thing ever, there was some effort and talent put into it, and there were genuine system improvements. I initially thought of giving it 2.5 stars, because again, I thought it was simply mid, but I'm giving it lower rating out of spite. Also, that means I find Drake & Josh GBA a more worthy investement than this. Devillish!

Well-made gacha auto-battler with an extreme emphasis on cuteness. Gameplay is typical of the genre, where the only real decisions you make are team composition, and which gear to grind for with your daily stamina. As usual, there's pretty much never any reason to turn off the auto battle and fast forward buttons.

What sets this game apart is the fully voice acted story, fully animated anime style cutscenes, and legitimately banger music. Cygames puts a lot of thought into making their games look extremely polished and professional, and they put more effort than I would expect for a gacha game.

For example, every time there's an event, you hear an instrumental of the main event theme on the main event page. There's a different version of the same theme throughout the event stories. And by the time you get done with the event quest, you get presented with a fully animated musical credit sequence where the theme now has lyrics, sung by the main characters featured during the event. It's cute, and indicative of way more time and effort put in than I've seen in other games in the genre. This amount of polish is even more apparent in their latest game, Uma Musume.

The biggest criticism I have (outside of being a gacha game), is that the overall tone of the game is waaay to cute for me, personally. As much as I love wholesome cuteness, most of the dialogue seriously makes me feel like I'm losing IQ points. There's kawaii, and then there's saccharine, and somehow this game has managed to go even beyond that. All the characters are just SO DUMB and since they're trying to appeal to otaku, they of course are all in love with the main character and do the same blushing stammering bits where they don't want to reveal their true feelings to you, yada yada. I really like the character designs though. they're all pretty iconic and fit their respective character personalities while consistently being cute-sexy, which seems to be what they're going for.

Overall, this actually one of the better gacha games I've played. Gameplay is braindead as usual, but the characters are cute and the story's perfect if you find yourself really needing just like a huge dollop of kawaii anime bullcrap.

Minus points for each character having a card for each outfit, but overall super fun. The ranking system linked to challenging other players' teams was extra awesome. Very sad to see it get shutdown.

Overall: 7.3/10 (7)

Honestly had such a good time opening up and playing this game every day in between my busy ass schedule. I'm really sad the Western version got shut down because it was genuinely such an amazing localization with such dedication to nailing every little detail written into the original Japanese script(s) that would be pretty much impossible to translate one-to-one into English. The gyaru says the gyaru shit, the silly girls say the silly shit, etc etc., and surprisingly enough it hardly if ever came across as annoying to me. Every character had such a fun charm to them and the voice acting/character designs really helped with presenting each of their fun personalities. The gameplay was also pretty fun. It felt a bit limited at times, especially with the character leveling and gear ascension(?), I don't really remember what it was called but my rng for certain pieces of gear was terrible and that frustrated me most. The gacha wasn't even that bad either, it was actually pretty good in the grand scheme of things. But besides those things, it was such a delight to play this game while it lasted and see all the girls doing their silly things. Hoping with Cygames' recent expansion into the West that they try bringing the English version back, because this honestly killed pretty much all of mobile gaming for me with how quality it was.

I can't choose a single best girl so I'll pick three. Pecorine, Makoto, and Chieru best.

RIP. One of the better gachas with a cute, colorful cast of characters and a pleasant lively energy that helps set it apart from all the needlessly serious gachas out there. Gameplay strikes a good balance of attention required for an idle game and the presentation is pretty nice. Didn't really care about the writing because it does that annoying thing where the characters repeat what your character says back to you since your self-insert isn't allowed to talk and it drives me up the wall. Who actually enjoys going through a whole conversation of "huh? you wanna go shopping with me? and you're saying you want to pay for everything too? that's so nice I love you" like I'm playing chewbacca and having han translate everything to a nonexistant audience. Yui best.
