The character models are also quite well animated and the storylines are all voiced by fairly well-known seiyuu (voice actors), which reinforces the immersion in the story compared to static 2D models and ‘fanboyism’.Īlongside the main scenarios, you can explore different areas between two songs and click on the characters to unlock small and sometimes funny sketches.Įarlier I indicated that Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage was almost a copy of Bang Dream. In addition, although the cast is mainly female, we have a few male characters to slightly diminish the “waifu game” aspect. Some groups are happier or darker and there is something for everyone. The heart of each scenario is to discover our true feelings through the music and forge bonds between the people in the group and their audience. The 6 groups of characters are particularly endearing and deal with quite different subjects linked to emotions.
You will tell me that this big pavement of resemblance is very pretty, but in the end what is it worth? Well, it’s pretty cool for 2 big reasons: the stories of the visual novel mode and the rhythmic gameplay. The systems of gacha, of “photo” thumbnails of each character, of level up, of stores or even of discussions with the characters in the world (and so on…) are almost identical.As long as you have a character related to an event and matchmaking associates you with players who also have them, this will be almost your only way to get B or + at the start of the course. Multiplayer during events is highly encouraged because it will allow you to achieve better scores.In fact, the game rewards luck in gacha and time spent building its characters more than your rhythm game skill. A team of 5-star characters at Maximum level related to the song is necessary to achieve a score of B or +. Getting a better score is not so much about doing a “full combo” on a song, but about the “strength” of your characters. Getting a better score in the rhythm game grants your characters more strengthening materials and more experience.This limits your game and the impatient will of course be able to go to the cashier to reload this resource.

In order to progress through the story, you need to gain experience and level up with each group.Time-limited events will introduce you to other smaller storylines that develop the story and connections of some of the characters in these groups.The Visual Novel aspect of the title lets you experience 6 main scenarios, for each music group that you can play.Indeed, Colorful Stage resumes almost the same gameplay and staging of this other title, but in the sauce Miku It looks like it so much that I almost thought Colorful Stage was a “Vocaloid skin” for Bang Dream. If we disregard this uncertainty, on the other hand, it is clear and clear that Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage is very much inspired by the game Bang Dream! Girls Band Party which has been a hit in Japan for several years. I can also confirm that the app ran smoothly, downloaded with TestFlight in Beta version on IOS. However, since the title resembles the game in many ways Bang Dream! Girls Band Party (well released on the app store and google play in Belgium), I tell myself that there may be hope. Although we have been guaranteed that the game will be released in Belgium, it is still not possible today (the day before the announced release) to pre-register the game. Most are not published with us and I have to say that I still have a fear for Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage. As you know, our country’s mobile app stores are particularly strict with microtransaction games. I admit that I was quite surprised when I was offered to test the game because I would have bet that it would not be released in Belgium. The music videos of the songs are not as finished as in other Vocaloid games.Gacha system preventing you from top score without rare characters.
