The game itself is great, idoly pride is a wellbuilt idol management game. If you've tried nikke before some of the gameplay loop is similar (i.e. there are idle mechanics in place of spending stamina to clear your missions). i think it's pretty engaging as someone who's looked at like no guides ![[開心]](/cdn/img/transparent.png)
The translation is pretty meh though...
A lot of lines were translated out of context and with no proofreading. You can generally get the meaning of the badly translated parts of the game but sometimes it's impossible. it's kinda sad the game released in this state because the actual content is very highquality. You can still enjoy it and I think the game gives you a very fair amount of currency/rewards/cards. Very easy to reroll also. shizuku my beloved
anyway ... based on reviews of the taiwan server just released by neowiz the translation is bad there too (machine translated levels of bad). i wonder why neowiz is being so irresponsible, are they known for this...? the english social media's also pretty low quality in this regard
at the same time originally boltrend was going to handle this and they vanished when release dates came (in my experience also their translations can have these issues too). so they were probably in management hell which is obviously terrible for a live service game. Guess we'll never know what happened ┐(‘~`;)┌

oh shit
4.0I've played jp before, the game is great and it's running well with good graphics and art, quite generous at early stage. my only complaint is that there's a lot of translation and typing errors in the game (perhaps it was made in a rush)

4.25This is a really fun game and Shizuku is my new emotional support animated idol. The interface is nice and easy to use and everything is explained really well. As a wota, this really hits. The storylines are immersive and compelling, the characters are loveable and their designs are great, the voice acting is superb, and there's a lot of different gacha pools to choose from. Exchanging business cards in place of adding friends? 💯 Unfortunately, a lot of the dialogue and things are very poorly translated and kind of nonsensical, it'd be great if they could pay some actual translators to go fix it...because machine translation is just not...good... I also got a glitch that caused everyone to be named Sakura when I first started the app up, but exiting and reloading up fixed it. Anyway, I've only been playing a couple days but I have already sunk so many hours in, definitely a new favorite. ADDITIONAL: I've played more so here's some more critiques. There are some things about the game that don't work quite right (or at all). If I try to click on any of the notices on the opening screen the game just freezes and I have to restart it. The loading times in general tend to be pretty slow. I already mentioned it but the translation is bad- I know enough Japanese to understand what it probably said in the original game and how it made sense, but if they don't pay some real human translators I have a feeling people are not going to want to play. It's hard to get attached to characters when your interactions with them are nonsense lol. I also wish there was an option to craft accessories in bulk... I'm still enjoying it, just wanted to add those critiques.
