is this worth 30 bucks?

[Scott Pilgrim]

do yall think its worth the price of admission

[mania568_gow]

you can beat it really fast if you're good at this kind of game, plays like slay the spire, its around 5-6 hours, has normal mode, easy and very easy so anyone can beat it, this kinds of game are meant to be replayed over and over and each run is different depending on what cards and charms you get, if you want to beat story and leave i would say not worth it, for replayability it has enough value for its price.

How many hours of replayability could you get out of it before there's legitimately nothing to do? Honestly have never played a roguelike or a deck building game before but it might be all worth it for yohane.

I'd say 30 bucks is perhaps a little bit steep, if you haven't played Slay the Spire yet that's basically the exact same game with more content and it's mechanically more polished as far as it's card/enemy mechanics go. This game, like many other games in the genre lift tons of mechanics, concepts and number values 1:1 from STS. But that isn't strictly a bad thing because STS basically nailed it.

But if you've already played the hell out of STS or you really just want the cute anime girl flavoring then it's not a terrible value proposition. I would have prefered it at 20 bucks but I'm having fun with it nonetheless. To be honest I haven't even seen Love Live but the game holds up very well mechanically so far.

It's a bit too early to say how much juice is in this game but I could "Finish" a game like Slay the spire, which is this game is for all intents and purposes a mechanical copy off, in an afternoon but I ended up putting 420 hours into it at which point I had to tell myself enough was enough because really the core format of these games is just infinitely addicting.

The actual storyline content is perhaps only a few hours long but the "one more game" factor of these types of games is incredibly high so simply playing for achievements, higher difficulty clears or just the sheer joy of playing should keep you occupied for quite a lot of hours.

These games do tend to have a somewhat steep initial learning curve but that's part of the charm. Not every run will be a success but that's exactly what makes it so enticing to go for another run again and again. In that regard it's kind of similar to the addictive nature of playing any kind of online pvp game but in a single player format.

Games great.
Not as deep as slay the spire, but game looks great.
Wish we had some more animations for attacks, but Its not a huge deal.

Appreciate the response, as much as I want to grab it, I'll hopefully just wait for a good sale sometime.

I just finished the story mode and your reciew is on point.

Do you or anyone by chance know if there is a hard/ascension mode and how ti access it?

There isn’t an Ascension mode per se, but there are difficult requests that make specific demands that must be done on Normal difficulty:

Speedrun through a specific area within the given time (this one is a series of requests)
Play 20 cards in 1 turn
Accumulate 100 or more shield in a turn
Gain 20 attack power in a fight
Win a fight without playing a single attack card
Clear a run without healing at a rest point
Clear a run with no Gold cards in the final deck
Clear a run with 1 charm only
Clear a run with 8 or fewer cards in the final deck (there’s another request that only allows 5 cards or fewer)

Your rewards for clearing these requests are a decent haul of rep points, with some requests awarding cards or costumes.

Frankly that's something I've been wondering about myself. As far as I've been able to tell there doesn't seem to be anything akin to ascension mode which is a little disapointing. Iirc only 5% of players actually got the A20 achievement in STS so maybe the audience for such a mode was too small for them to bother with it.

Perhaps it's locked behind the requests but I would have imagined it would unlock after doing a normal post-story clear if it was there. There has been DLC announced including 3 new characters in april but I couldn't find anything about an Ascension mode. If it's not currently hidden in the game than perhaps with a free update if we're lucky.

I'd say if you like the "Love Live! Sunshine!!" characters or watched the anime, it would have more value than if you don't have any previous experience with the franchise.

[real_Zuramaru]

id say its definitely worth if you are a fan of the love live sunshine/genjitsu no yohane series. its short and sweet, and the gameplay is pretty good. ive never even played a deckbuilding game and thought this was pretty fun, but it certainly helps to be a big fan of aqours lol. if you like anime girls in general, i think you might enjoy it still. if not, i dont think the gameplay alone will be worth it for you
