I’ll preface this review by saying that, Idol Queen is not like most other games but it exactly captures the core of the management/simulation genre in a way that is engaging enough for me for a long time. I really love the gameplay aspect of it. I love building up the skills of my idols by scheduling classes for them. I love dressing up my idols and decorating their dorm rooms to be more cozy and comfy. I look forward to seeing my first idol group grow to be worldwide superstars that excel in all of their skills. For context purposes of this review, I’m in the second phase of the story progression where I’m meeting the first idol of the second idol group. My login rewards are on day 3 and I have about 9.5 hours play time.
The concert and recording game mechanic is a simple song rhythm mechanic. The touch feels relatively smooth for me on mid graphics settings with a 8GB RAM phone. These game mechanics resets every in-game month and the Calls quests frequently prompts this rhythm game in exchange for money and fans. Over time, I stopped accepting these concert broadcast Calls because it really detracts from my enjoyment by doing the same rhythm game for the same song over and over. You can skip the rhythm game and still follow through with the call for money, but the auto tickets are too precious.
For some less satisfactory aspects of the game is that it doesn’t really tell you how exactly to play the game. Sure, they will run you some tutorials on the most basic mechanics they have along with story progression, but there are things that the player needs to figure out on their own such as the shareholder and fandom missions, fashion shows, the “Help Me!” mini game, how to excel the interviews, as well as which role to assign to which idol. Thankfully the game is reminiscent of Love Idol and their game mechanics are similar. Therefore, I assumed my prior knowledge on that game had made it easier to understand a little more of the mechanics of this game. Additionally this game is less punishing than their predecessor, don’t let the low ratings during concerts and recordings fool you. I imagine that would improve with idol skills and better songs.
I once ran into an issue with the Vlive quest where I had already set up a Vlive but the main story didn’t register it, locking me into a certain place on the screen that I couldn’t tap on to progress. Thankfully, a cache clear had helped resolve the issue. Also, it is kind of a bummer that the only way you’ll get premium currency is by daily login rewards or buying them.
Tips for new players (correct me anywhere if I’m wrong):
- If you are at that point in the story where you’re able to unlock auditions, new auditions are available for schedule every month on the 1st.
- Each day in a month is 24 seconds, so according to my calculator this means that each month is around 12 minutes. Be mindful that certain aspects of the game resets every month, i.e auditions, recording, concerts, fashion show, fan meeting, staff hiring, idol outings, etc.
- Your concern as a new player is doing the story progression to help you to understand the game mechanics, gather money, and probably getting to a point to unlock Stamina and Intellect training for your idols. Stamina increases the idol’s endurance and therefore can train more without tiring themselves out easily. Intellect lets them train better in that each scheduled training increases their skill exp gains, making other skills level up easier.
- Scheduled auditions are technically rest days. The idols don’t gather fatigue from attending an audition and after that they take the rest of that day chilling in their dorms.
- Building upgrades don’t require using in-game time. You may pause or quit the game and the upgrades will complete in due time.
- Hire staff that correspond to the training skill of the building. I tried having multi-skilled staff in a building and I don’t think that worked.
Overall, the issues described so far didn’t deter me from playing the game. The gameplay is very busy, maybe even tedious but I have always wanted a stat-raising/management game as complex as this on a mobile platform, and this game delivered, with more engagement and less punishment compared to Love Idol.
