School Idol Festival ALL STARS," a new smartphone game that brings together all the school idols of the past, including μ's, Aqours, and Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Club, was put on trial for the media.

All songs in the game will support formation dancing by nine members, and the game will feature a completely new original story with full voices.

The latest information was released at the two-day "Thanksgiving Festival 2019" held on September 21 and 22, and here we present the latest information on this title, including a play report from the test play session.

The key to victory is to adjust the balance between stamina and voltage!

When you start the game, a drama part unfolds. The player (you), a student at Nijigasaki Gakuen, is shocked to see the joint live performance of μ's and Aqours with your classmate Ayumu Uehara. You, a student of Nijigasaki Gakuen, were shocked when you saw the joint live performance of μ's and Aqours with your classmate Ayumu Uehara. and they start to back up Ayumu and her friends who are aiming to become school idols.

The drama part is fully voiced except for the player, of course. The members of each unit appear in the drama part, and you can enjoy an original story unique to the game. Fans of the series will love the crossover that transcends the boundaries of the works.

In order to advance to the next storyline, it is necessary to clear the music in each stage.

First, choose 9 school idols to stand on stage and build a deck. The members of the deck will perform live, but the point is that "the genre of this title is not a rhythm game, but a rhythm action RPG.

Tapping the notes that appear is just like in a typical rhythm game, but as you tap the notes, your stamina gauge gradually decreases. When the stamina gauge reaches zero, the game ends, so it is important to know when to tap the notes.

At the same time, if you do not tap any notes, your voltage will not increase, making it impossible to clear the stage, so managing stamina and voltage is the key to success.

Another key to success is the appeal opportunities that appear during the live performance. If you complete the missions presented here, you can earn a large amount of voltage. However, if you fail, you will receive heavy damage. In other words, these appeal chances are like the mid-boss battles in RPGs.

Another important element is the "SP Special Skill. During a live performance, the SP gauge in the center of the screen rises. When this gauge reaches a certain amount, SP special moves like special moves can be used. When the SP special move is activated, a cut-in sequence is played to show the attractive expressions of the school idols, and the voltage of the audience rises dramatically.

Each member has their own strategy, which can be changed depending on the situation. The strategy has various effects, such as restoring stamina and increasing the SP gauge needed to activate special skills. This is the point where RPG-like strategic thinking is required.

While we have covered the highlights of the game, we cannot leave out the visual aspect of the game. In this game, the members of the three units can be freely reconfigured. This means that idols from each unit can perform ...... dances to other units' songs!

Moreover, each unit has its own choreography, so you can enjoy the dream of seeing that unit member performing the choreography of that song! What a dream come true!

In addition, you can deepen your kizuna with the school idols through their performances at live shows and through interaction with them in the game. As your kizuna grows, you will be able to unlock "kizuna episodes," which are more in-depth stories about each idol, so it would be a good idea to put more idols on the board that you want to focus on.

In addition, in the training mode, you can increase the status of the idols and also release contents such as "awakening," which allows you to appreciate beautiful illustrations, voices, and new outfits. This is a must-have!
