I have to say, if there is a reason I keep coming back to this game, it has to be for the story and the characters. The story is compelling and interesting, and while the first act and such can be a bit boring it quickly ramps up and becomes so incredibly interesting. You want to keep reading because you want to know what happens next.
The characters are rather well written as well. At first they sometimes appear as shallow anime tropes and cliches, but soon enough you come to find that they are all more well rounded and three dimensional than you originally gave them credit for. They are also very fun to watch interact, and are guaranteed to make you laugh at least once.
Speaking of characters, the director has an actual personality. So many games have bland main characters who are meek and have no opinions, but this game does. She herself is already a pretty interesting and funny character, and makes for a fun watch. She also rejects Masumi's advances which is something I'm glad happens, considering the age difference.
Now, in regards to the gameplay. Not gonna lie, its not very entertaining. The most fun is the Earn Cash minigame, but with that one you cant play a lot, as you need to wait a long time in between each play. The main gameplay loop soon becomes repetitive, and it wasn't all that interesting to begin with. Being honest, I usually don't play that much outside of events now that I have the full story unlocked, since there isn't much of a point outside of that.
Despite my harsh criticism of the gameplay, I would say the story and characters make up for it in spades. Really, I reccomend playing it for that alone. As a small addition, getting cards and gems is surprisingly easy, which is welcome. I haven't spent a single cent on this app, and yet I have around 15 SSRs and even more SRs.
So overall, I would highly reccomend it. At least give it a try.

5.0It's so sad to see this game go. I don't think I will have the heart to ever delete the app. Personally, this game getting shut down is both a blessing and a curse for me. I ended up ignoring it for a while until I learned it wouldn't be reciving updates anymore. Now I'm much more invested in it than I ever was, and will continue my journey with the boys on the jp version. Thank you A3 english for all the happiness you brought to this world and everyone's lives, including mine. You will never be forgotten, and we'll miss you. Thank you for all you've done. Goodbye.

4.8The best joseimuke game I've played so far. PROS: 1. MC has a personality. 2. All of the guys are lovable and endearing. 3. Main story is good. Funny but gets you teary-eyed as well. 4. Game soundtrack is great, I love all of them. 5. Voice acting is top-notch. 6. Gems for gachas are fairly easy to get. 7. Getting stories for the cards are easy. 8. Cards are also easy to level up and train. CONS: 1. It's sometimes hard to connect to the game - It's either ERROR 905 or 906. 2. Events can be really grindy, especially if you're aiming for a good rank to get the SSR. 3. Always has something to download. Makes me think that it'll be a pain when you try playing it on data - RIP bandwidth. This reveiw may seemed biased but I just really find this game enjoyable and don't see a lot of cons in it. Highly recommended game! ***Not A3-related but since Liber is doing great with this game, maybe they can bring I-chu Etoile Stage to global as well coz I think it'll also do great... Hehehe.
