之前因為感想寫得太隨便，剛好現在又有時間想說來補齊一下
讓身為Starless常客的我來向大家介紹？解說？一下這個遊戲(玩法跟攻略應該其他人都有寫過了，就不多說)
以下就是身為常客ミズキ推的我跟大家主觀的建議(預防針？)
■具備基礎日文能力
畢竟這遊戲沒有日文以外的語言，如果只是漢字看得懂的程度雖然也是可以玩，但這個遊戲劇情滿吃重比例的，可能各位要自己斟酌。
■不要僅用音游的角度看待這個遊戲
這個遊戲本身就是主打「應援&節奏」的遊戲類別，不要因為看到"節奏"就將既定的節奏遊戲框架放在這裡。
這個遊戲是必須是【應援】&【節奏】雙重技能都擁有的人才能高分地方。
■不要用乙女遊戲的角度看待這個遊戲
遊戲製作人安藤(H氏の友人)說過，這個遊戲原本的製作就是不想綁定for女性（雖然的確女性玩家比較多）
所以是抱著乙女GAME心態進來的人一定會大失望。
■不是偶像/明星系列遊戲
我看到有人說角色們都偶像/明星？
容許我說聲：Definitely NOT!!!(根本不是!!!)
根據安藤的說法，這個地方是把所有東西都塗黑的地方！所以這個遊戲的標語「黒く、塗りつぶせ(全部塗黑)」
就是請務必把那些偶像阿明星那種閃亮亮&純白想法放在一邊
在這裡的只有活在暗面、為了自己慾望而存在的孩子們。(跟大叔XD?)
■直向螢幕
直向螢幕真心讚
上班路上、上班/上課中偷都玩都很方便
■可能對無課相對不友善
本人是微課玩家，所以可能無法詳述無課的心情XD
但是基本上沒有什麼人權卡，所以首刷就是刷到喜歡的角色出來為止就很OK了(from開服時花了三天刷ミズキ的我
![[白眼]](/cdn/img/transparent.png){kind=spacer}
)會說相對對無課不友善是因為上面也說到了，這遊戲除了節奏這個主線以外，還要【應援】
這時候就要拿出在遊戲上市前打廣告用的標語來解釋了：
推しの全ては貴女のモノ(推的全部都是妳的)
推しを救うのは貴女の財力？愛？(拯救推的是妳的財力？還是愛？)
給入坑前的你們再思考三秒的機會（姨母笑
■主線劇情全語音
建議先去YOUTUBE上聽完SEASON 0的廣播劇再開始看會比較順暢。
除了最近因為疫情會延遲上架語音以外其實故事都已經排程好了，穩定更新章節故事不延遲。
(不像某些遊戲一直開活動都不更新主線
)■活動期間要有每天至少浪費20分鐘的決心
這遊戲的節奏關卡是不能SKIP的，就算AUTO你也必須自己放技能
會說至少需要可以浪費20分鐘是因為
遊戲因應每首歌，角色們必須去另外練習"熟練度"你的AUTO才會打的棒棒搭。
這個"熟練度"的加速練法就是：花石頭→買戒指(20分鐘內經驗up)→喝能量飲料→不停練習
嗯，加油
■有時效性（Real TIME）
這個遊戲的另一個特點就是有時效性。
看人物介紹的部分就知道，他連角色出生年份都寫出來了
就代表：人物會跟著妳一起長大！
比如說：ミズキ的20歲生日就只會有一次，不會每年都20歲！！！
有些東西錯過就不再了......還不課嗎???的意思
■人物刻劃細膩
有些遊戲的角色設定到後面會感覺怎麼每個人物的個性/或是有幾個人的講話口吻都突然變一樣了？！的出戲感
但這個遊戲的角色雖然人數多，目前還沒重複角色感的產生
目前想到的大概就是這樣，歡迎大家批評指教，感謝ヽ(^o^)丿
---------------------------以上為2021/1更新內容---------------------------
與其說他是音樂遊戲，不如說他是育成遊戲比較適切。
活動方面育成真的很重要。
這是一款我會玩到買周邊跟fanbook的遊戲
雖然玩了快一年主線還是一堆謎團_(√ ζ ε:)_

4.2Story Story is very unique and fully voiced; MC is not the main focus of most of the stories unlike most idol games. In fact, other than to Kei and Heath, the MC has very little importance to the other characters (MC is related to something big in terms of the plot but we don't know what it is yet). I like the fact that the game focuses more on developing the characters rather than having it about everyone trying to get the MC to fall in love with them. There is A LOT of drama that goes on between the characters and there are a lot of mysteries involved that have yet to be known. For other idol games like IChu, Bpro, and Tsukipara, I couldn't be bothered to read the story but Blackstar is really dramatic (and its funny when the cast members have cat fights lmao). It starts out after the original owners of Theater Starless (among several other people) mysteriously disappear and then the theater gets robbed by some people who broke in. Like, WHAT??? What a while way to start. I can't help myself getting so excited over reading the next episode, it's honestly a first for me. Just as a warning, the story is very very shady and dark and in some instances lowkey depressing so it's not for people who like happier things like most idol games are like. For me, that's kind of why I like it so much because it's more realistic (minus the wacky situation and the fact that there may be some kind of crime group related to it...?). I like the fact that it's so tense and everyone is so anxious all the time because it makes me wonder what's going to happen next and there are A LOT of things that happen that is totally unexpected. But I'm aware it's not everyone's cup of tea, so if you like happy stories you might not like Blackstar's story. Songs The songs are alright. Very much on the rock side. If that's your thing you're gonna love the songs. Personally, I like the usual "idol songs" that are more upbeat so I really like Team P's songs, but the others are mostly rock which I don't prefer as much. They aren't bad at all, it's just I don't find at least 1/3 of the songs stick out to me :/. Of course the main song (theme song?) BLACKSTAR was really good. After Hatsukoi, it's my favorite. Something I find interesting is that the songs are not sung by the voice actors, but by professional singers (such as Ide Takuya, Fujita Rei, Kobayashi Taro) and Utaite (such as kradness, Stungun, Shakemi, ajikko). The only thing I wish though, would be that they chose singers for some of the characters that actually resembled the character's voice. For example, Rindou has a low voice but his singer, ajikko, has a high voice which is not bad but I also kind of want to hear what it would sound like if Rindou was singing it since people don't normally have such a wide gap between their talking voice and singing voice^^; Gameplay There are two types of gameplays in the game. One is the "Rehersal" (I may have gotten the name wrong as I don't have the game open with me at the time of writing this) mode which is a lot like how in Enstars or A3! you don't really do anything and just tap tap tap to get stuff; except unlike those games I just mentioned, the animation in it is not as fancy (since it isn't really the main part of the game I guess). The benefits of doing the lesson is that during the performance you will get a boost (higher score) if the levels of the characters in your team are high in the lesson. It will also improve your accuracy during the Cheer mode of the performance (people suggest around level 15 for every member in order to get a good score). If your levels are high, you may even get a higher score in Cheer mode than playing manually. Some events also have relationship stories between 2 members whose relationship bar can be increased in the rehearsal mode during the event. While those stories are not important to the main story, they're important in learning more about the characters involved and, of course, their relationships with the other cast members (you also get dias from reading the story). Finally, in the recent events, some of the main story unlocking requirements have been to play the event song with members whose levels are above a certain amount (those ones are a killer;;). The second type of gameplay is the "Performance" mode which is the rhythm game. Within performance mode there is a "Rhythm mode" and a "Cheer mode" which is autoplay of the rhythm mode. The notes are vertical, which may be difficult for some people but in general the music gameplay is rather simple (of course there are multiple difficulties and you can change the speed so that can make it more difficult for you if that's your thing). I like how in some songs, the notes make the shape of something significant in the song at the moment. For example, in the song Daken, as the singer says "Team K", the long notes come together in the shape of a K; in Hatsukoi, there are heart shaped long notes; and in During the Demise, as the line 救国の剣 (The Sword of Salvation) is sung, the long not is in the shape of a sword. There is no fancy background with characters dancing (in all honesty I don't even know what the SD character designs in the cards are for because you only get to see them at the beginning and end of the song;;) unlike other idol rhythm games which is a shame. For beginners, I find that getting high scores (and therefore more points in events) is really hard (getting points in events is pretty hard without event cards in general) and it also doesn't help that the gatcha rates for 5stars is really low (and in event gatchas, a 10play guarantees at least one 4star but not necessarily the event 4star if there is one). However, you can get decent scores with an all 4star team if their stats are maxed out (I suggest to increase the "chance" levels so you get more items to level up cards during a performance). Apparently using paid dias doesn't increase the rates in the gatcha either ;-; (not a good way to encourage people to pay Donuts...). Getting the event 5stars are not too difficult (except in seasonal events they require 3 times as many points) and at the end of a season (so far only season 1 is finished), there is a big event which brings back all the main story events so you can finish unlocking stories you didn't unlock during the original event. In those events there are point rewards that can be exchanged for event reward cards and are really easy to obtain (I managed to get all 5 copies of the Kokuyou/Akira , Yoshino, and Sinju/Menou cards; 4 blank cards (for versus type events) of the Kokuyou/Mokuren card; and a copy of the Rindou/Menou card. I could have probably gotten more but I got lazy near the end of the event lol). Unfortunately there currently are no ways to obtain copies of seasonal event cards after the event is finished (hopefully they'll bring them all back in an anniversary event!) Visuals The art is REALLY pretty. I found out about this game after Tsukipara announced they would be stopping services (and later on Bpro as well ;-;) and the art was originally what attracted me to the game. The cast members are so pretty, and there are multi-dimensions in the shading (i.e. it's not just a base colour and then a shadow layer on top). I'm a big fan of Kokuyou, Yoshino, Kasumi, and Yakou. There is also a character who's gender is cannonly "unknown" (性別不明 is what is said. There are probably many English labels you can give to this character based on it such as non-binary but literally it says "gender unknown" and does not directly translate as non-binary so I will not say) (Mokuren) and one who is (heavily hinted to be) bi with a preference for men (Qu), which I find is unique, because LGBTQ+ is not a widely spoken topic in Japan and genuine media (not BL/GL(yuri) which tends to be unrealistic) related to that topic. The cast member's stage costumes tend show a lot of skin (with the exception of Mokuren who always has their body covered) lmao (Kei has a shirtless 5star sdfsd). Overall, I personally LOVE this game despite even though there are many things that could be improved. Through the stories the characters become likeable, then dislikeable, then likeable again, and it's honestly an emotional rollercoaster. For me, it was the art that attracted me to the game but it was the story that kept me hooked. I find that the story is the most interesting part of the game so if you don't understand Japanese and can't be bothered to translate (or look for people who have translated it) the game may seem mediocre to you (although a lot of good male idol rhythm games have been stopping services recently). The stories give you a lot of exciting (?) information (that people love to make memes out of especially in the JP fandom). I play the game for the stories Tldr: The story and visuals are the best part of the game, the game play is rather simple (but still entertaining), songs are good if you like rock, not very generous to beginners Sorry this ended up being very long^^;
