This is not a game about a popular former female music group. I realise the name is a bit confusing... This is basically a CCG with a plot/story line, full audio dialogue and tons of extra optional playable content. The graphics are great (Though I could do with less breast bouncing), the game play is simple but fun and the characters fun to watch as they progress through the story (I recommend clicking some of these thumbnails to view the larger image so you can read the dialogue).
This app has a lot of optional content and constantly has new events spawning up so I'm not going to dive too deep into the content of the app. I don't want this to be a novel.
Each scene has moving character avatars, a full background, text dialogue and voice overs which is amazing. The voice overs would be more amazing if they came in multiple languages but I suppose we'll make due with Japanese only.The game even has a fully animated anime intro you get to see when you start the game for the first time.
There are several parts of the game to play but the main areas to keep up with are as follows.
Story: This continues forward with the plot. You go through story line and battle story based NPC groups of childs. Users collect new childs after winning boss battles and collect items and gold among other useful loot and experience. Don't forget to collect completion rewards at the bottom of each story segment (3 per segment).
Night World: This is where you complete your daily quests. Not all of them need to be done. Really none of them are necessary but they can be very useful for levelling, evolving, and acquiring certain items. At very least I recommend always doing the Exploration, which allows you to send childs on adventures for hours and come back with gained experience. These childs can still be used freely even when they are sent off on exploration. Event Dungeon is also very useful. The contents change daily so check back every day and collect rewards you need specifically such as gold, evolution items for specific types of childs or level up material. Devil Rumble and Underground are optional really. Devil Rumble gives you 5 plays a day and resets after a week. Underground is a great way to get experience and items by using all of your childs. Don't try it until you have a lotat your disposal though. Scenarios can be found here as well and is a way to watch any plot you've already gone through. Rebirth Labyrinth is a recent addition but I'm not sure if it will be permanent. it's a good way to win costumes for you childs.
Summon: This is how you acquire more childs outside of actually fighting and getting them as drops. It is essentially a gacha style system. You can get childs, equipment and more from here. A fun feature when getting child drops is if you draw a 5 star child you get a cute little animated sequence. You can choose to spend money on in game currency for this but I've been playing this since just after its global launch (Global launch was December 2018). If you play casually you still earn enough for at least one gold draw 10 a day, one crystal draw 10 a day and your free draw one that resets every day. That's at least 21 every day, easily. But be careful, users have a limited amount of slots available so you'll have to pick and choose who to keep.
Mailbox: Always check this daily to collect everything you earn from logging in. You also get friendship coins from your mailbox if you have added friends.
Items: Really only needed for using your free tickets and getting rid of things you don't need.My Room: This is where you earn rewards for just doing the regular game play you are already doing. if you've earned a reward your My Room tab will have a dot by it. make sure you collect them daily or you'll lose them.
Child: This is where you can see every child you have. You can sort them for easier browsing, evolve them, combine them, upgrade their skills, create teams and more. i find myself spending a lot of time here just to make sure my childs are as upgraded as they can be and getting rid of ones I don't need who take up space.
Friend: This is where you can give friendship coins to your friends, add friends, delete them, accept friend invites, etc. Friends in this game are useful because depending on the user's main avatar, you can use them to give your team special buffs when you fight. It is important to choose a useful child for your avatar for this reason as well. This will help you to be more useful to your friends. I find the most useful ones are childs that give a buff to all other childs, not just type specific ones.
Now that the important areas have been covered I want to explain a little about the actual gameplay. In order to battle against other players such as the Devil Rumble PVP or battling NPCs such as in Story Mode, you'll need to know how to put a team together, how to use abilities and how to upgrade your child.The childs come in categories, both battle type and elemental type. Water, Wood, Fire, Light and Dark are the elements and Debuffer, Attacker, Healer, Defender, Support, Combine are the attack types.
Water > Fire > Wood - Light >< Dark (These two are weak and strong against one another)
If you are going up against a team with a lot of fire, you may choose to switch to a heavy water based team for example. Though most groups will be mixed and you will need to use your own strategy to effectively power through.
The attack types should be pretty clear. Defenders are your tanks, they have heavy defense and absorb a lot of damage while being slower at attacking. Debuffers remove buffs from the opponents, while supporters will buff your team. The only odd ones are the combine types which serve as sacrifices for your group. If used correctly, they can be very useful. It is best to have a mixed group but it is good to choose the combination that works best for you. My main group has a healer, two defenders, one support and an attacker. Sometimes I switch out a defender for a second healer if I need to.
In a battle there are three ways to attack (Though you'll likely turn on auto attack so you'll only manually need to know the last way). A tap attack which, a slide attack or your big attack which is your drive skill. Each of your 5 battle childs have circle portraits at the bottom of the battle screen, your enemy above. When a child's portrait is surrounded by the colour strip you can tap it or slide it. Sliding it will begin to fill your drive gauge which can be seen running along the side of your health bar at the bottom under the portraits. When the gauge is full a little skill bubble pops up under your childs. this is when you can use a drive skill which does heavy damage. But you need to time it right for the best effect. A bar will fill up quickly and you need to tape it when it's in the centre of the charged part of the line. The centre will give you a Perfect, near it is a Great, a bit farther off is Good, and too far off is Bad. Depending on your score you'll fill the fever gauge (Yes another gauge). If you're good it will take 3 drive skill attacks to fill your gauge as a perfect gives you 40 percent. a great gives you 30, a good 20~ (This one depends). Fever time is when you jut place your finger on a child consistently and leave it there until fever runs out. That child will continually attack the enemy and do tons of damage quickly. In stages with 3 levels I try to do one drive skill per level so I can do the fever on the last (and hardest) level.
Your childs have other abilities but they are passive. The tap, slide and drive skills can be levelled up (to 10 per rank). If you use a child often, level it's skills up fully as soon as possible. It will cost you onyx (Which is also used for awakening) but this is pretty easy to come by.Your child will level up as you use them but you can also use the Combine button in their profile to level them up further (Up to their max level). When you combine, you will use Level-Up Material childs which look like little slime blobs. Using ones of the correct elemental type will give you the best results but you can technically use any elemental material to level up your childs. A child will only level so far before it needs to be evolved. Evolving a child will reset it to level one but it will be a higher star count.
2 Star Child - Max LVL 20
3 Star Child - Max LVL 30
4 Star Child - Max LVL 40
5 Star Child - Max LVL 50
6 Star Child - Max LVL 60
You can only get a 6 star child by evolving a 5 star child. Evolution can only happen when your child is at it's max level and you have enough evolution material. You will also need to sacrifice other childs of the same star level to evolve one. For example if I have a level 40 four star child and all the material I need to also sacrifice 4 other 4 star childs to evolve this one. I will lose the four sacrifices but my evolved child will become a 5 star lvl 1 child.
You are also going to want to awaken your childs. This can be done by spending onyx and continuing to level them through use (Or exploration or combining). When you finish awakening a child it will get a new costume. You will also be able to equip an accessory along with the weapon and armour.
Also... equip weapons and armour to childs you use... But remember to remove them if you decide to get rid of that child.
I have already gone into more detail than intended. So I will leave you with this... This is a fun game that you can spend a lot of time on so be careful not to get addicted. The story is fun and I recommend paying attention instead of skipping through it. The graphics are so detailed and amazing, plus you can change the home page background and child to customise it to your liking which is amazing. The fact that all the dialogue is spoken word is brilliant but it does make the file size for this app pretty big so users might want to be sure they have the room to download this before starting the download (You'll need to download a packet when the app starts for the first time which is far bigger than the app file size). Also, I do not recommend this for children... this is a teens and up app. The fact that there are bouncy breasts and succubi mentioned in this review should be pretty clear signs of that. Only real complaint is that it can take a bit to get used to all the elements of the app... it can be pretty overwhelming at first.Here are some other resources for how to play the game.
