THE iDOLM@STER SideM: GROWING STARS Reseña(s)
4.2
So yeah, the graphics was smooth and great. Though, when it comes to the gameplay I admit that I experience crashes and lags at first but I’ve seen someone’s post on how to solve that problem and with some adjustments It’s all good now. I find the storyline interesting especially on that part where momohito said this line “(何かの才能かないと、みんなに見捨てられる。例えそれか、自分の親だったとしても) ” kinda hits me through my deepest soul
All in all, I’m enjoying this so far. The game has a lot of potential and I’m looking forward to its improvements !

Graphics (4.5/5)
- The art is really beautiful! totally my style!
- i do feel the characters are rather plain which totally feels different (in a GOOD WAY) than the usual "kira kira" male idol characters! It makes the character feel more realistic!
- iirc the artist is the same as ycast & prince of stride(?) correct me if i'm wrong - i always love that unqiue artstyle frm this artist
- i really love the ingame skill displays (for SSRs) and the home screen characters, IT'S MOVING SKJDKWNW always weak to 2DL so I'm glad they applied that in! (would smtimes enter the game just to tap on my babes HAHAHA)
Songs (5/5)
- THE SONGS HAS VERY SIMILAR VIBES TO YCAST IT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLY MADE T-T IT GAVE ME SO MUCH NOSTALGIA WHEN LISTENING TO IT
- IF THE SONGS KEEP PRODUCING SO NICELY LIKE THIS I MIGHT BUY THEIR MERCH TOO OH NOES XD
- I don't have a super fav, actually like most of the songs!!
- tldr, if u like upbeat songs, this game is definitely for you
- yo I'm even jamming to some of the game interface song LOL
- also ended up getting the whole album on the 1st day of game release because the songs are just that good hehe
Gameplay (3.5/5)
- don't get me wrong - in terms of gameplay i do think its just as normal as other rhythm games so i wont rate it high because there's ntg to shout out about.
- but i want to mention on how solid the sfx taps are, it's definitely a solid sound compare to other rhythm games i'd played (can choose other 2 different types of tap sounds aside the default one) but imo the default one is super solid it feels really good during gameplay!
- i ply on an oppo a92 so it does lag once in a while, u can turn off some effects and wala! SMOOTH! the tap effects makes a difference too in terms of lag! (at least for me, i chged to the 4th one and it became even smoother)
Story (TBA)
- i can't really understand jp so I'm trying to find a source to read the translation on this and then i'll rate it! pls lmk if u guys have any, it'll be super appreciated! will definitely update on this
Gacha
- omg yes how can i forget about the main point of the game, GACHA. u can choose 1 4* starter card!
- u will also be given a free 1x10 pull, can reroll, YES I REPEAT YOU CAN REROLL W/O NEEDING TO DELETE YOUR GAME DATA AND RESTRT THE WHOLE TUTORIAL WHATSOEVER....hehe it really saved a lot of my time there at the very least
- u can get SSR(s) from rerolling SO PLS REROLL TILL U GET WHAT U LIKE OK D:< DONT BE LAZY!
- i have not pulled aside the free reroll and the free 4* starter so idk how bad the rates will be, MAY RNG BLESS YOU, thats all i can say
Events (3/5)
the 1st event just got released on the 10th its very normal (compared with other rhythm games) just collect tokens by plying any song and then you can use the token for the event song, hoping they would release different types of events in future!
For the event song on how it sounds like/gameplay difficulty wise, here's the link!

Some suggestions/QoL improvements for the game:
- the homescreen design is rather plain, wouldnt it be great if you can add 2 characters in your homescreen instead of 1? (u have to keep swipping to see other characters, hmm not a very good idea imo) and also adding the ability to change the bg screen to a different scenery! :)
- feature "where you can coop and ply with maybe 4 other plyrs" mode! i always love that part of a rhythm game!
- BOND STORIES WITH EACH OF THE CHARACTERS, as in actual individual side stories! would really love to hang out with them individually and see how their behaviours/characteristics are, i think it'll be super fun and cute!
- ST used for each songs are EXPENSIVE! make it lesser! HECK all the difficulties takes up 30 im crying in stargems maybe make it "easier difficulty = lesser ST needed" at least?
- the work system is boring ngl. from my experience it's completely RNG on which characters will be leveled up. Sometimes i level up a character that i dont even use and idek what to do with him Make the ST usage lesser also, maybe to 10 ST or so? imo 20 ST is a bit too much for an RNG based result.
- if reducing the ST usage isnt possible, at least increase the regeneration rate for ST finishing full bar ST and have to wait for like 6-8hrs (i cant rmbr how much time needed) for another full bar is just so pain ngl
- for plyrs who wants to support the game but is not willing to purchase big bucks on stargems, maybe the devs can try putting a monthly pass or smtg similar to that! im pretty sure some plyrs are willing to pay for the monthly pass that maybe give rewards like login daily basis stargems + other small nice goodies like growing mats! (needed to mention this because the game just updated on the 9th with more expensive packs and it hurts to see how much paid stargems are needed for those packs)
That's all I can say for now, will update more if needed!

A lo que me refiero es que cada SSR , tiene un pequeño videoclip con respecto a los personajes lo cual lo hace unico , bien es cierto que la mayoria de las cartas no tienen una transformacion tan linda, lo equivale con la animacion . Y quiero pensar que por ser principales no seran llamativas y con el tiempo mejoraran , depende a los eventos .
Por ahora el conseguir estrellas esta facil y el Rate es el mismo en cada gacha , de acuerdo con el grafico con los personajes es cierto que lo hace un poco aburrido, no es tan llamativo pero tambien lo hace fresco .
Otro punto es que la jugabilidad es estable y no hay problemas , ojo en mi caso. Como tambien algo extra son las conversaciones o llamadas .
Desde mi punto de vista eesta ceptable y creo que mejoraron espero que con el tiempo renueven maa el juego .
Gracias , por leer.

тут мужики РЕАЛЬНО НА ЛЮБОЙ ВКУС, и шоты, и бородатые мужики, и деды, и очкарики, и с каре и даже рыжие близнецы-клоуны есть!!
спрайты ооочень крутые, яркие и с хорошей анимацией!!
во время игры песни на фоне будут флексить 2д модельки мужиков (но из-за этого играть невозможно, тк всё лагает хдд)
но в целом ритм-составляющая игры хорошая, но песни меня пока вообще не зацепили((
короче игра топ (если есть нормальный телефон) всем советую!!

There are more positives I can include but I feel like I should include some gripes I have as well. The gacha (or gasha as this game calls it) has a SSR rate of 4% which is actually higher than the most other gacha games, however with the new most recent banner coming out, the rate ups for the SSRs are pretty abysmal, only being a .6% increase and I really hope this is something they change in the future. Another is the stamina system. 100 stamina is the max and it doesn't go up upon level up. This wouldn't be a problem if Lives no matter the difficulty all cost 30 st and the refresh taking a while. Hopefully this gets adjusted as well. And also while I'm fine with the game just having 2D MVs with all the other improvements I mentioned earlier making up for it, but it is slightly disappointing this game doesn't have 3D MVs like the other branches. Maybe it could be added later but I doubt it, but like I said I don't mind it too much.
Edit: Well, looks like my pleas were answered! I do think it is a bit disappointing that they're not customizable like the other im@s games, but I absolutely love the look of them and can't wait for more to be added. And who knows, maybe we'll get customizable 3DMVs at a later date as well.
Those are the only problems I've had so far, the game is still in its infancy so these things can be improved upon over time. Overall I think the game is very polished and would recommend it to fellow im@s fans and rhythm game enjoyers!

Graphically, compared to MStage, the cards look way cleaner and are now animated! Although it's only 2D (for now ) I think its a bit better than the awardness of MStage 3D, but I must admit, there is a bit of a dip in interest in getting new cards.
The initial song list is a pretty solid line up! A lot of the songs are classics! (and I can help to join in the call outs, especially the OI OI OI in Burning Cool) And the new event songs are SO good that I'm super excited for the future of SideM music!
As for gameplay, it's your basic 5 lane + work/job most rythm games have at this point. The flicks feel a bit awkward at times, especially in Burning Cool, but maybe thats my old decrepid phone.
Powering up cards is confusing at first bc they really isn't a way to actually level up cards. You can upgrade them, star limit them, and increase the skill level, but there is no actual level. Weird decison.
The text and call feature is fun (although I understand very little) and I hope later on they flesh out the photo mode; it seems a bit bland to me.
Bandai seems to be very generous with rewards and login. Very easy to farm for pulls and event stories are unlocked right from the start.
There are some nitpicks I have, such as gacha tickets aren't their own seperate button in the gacha screen, or that flicks don't have their own timing adjustments, but that could easily be implemented or wouldn't be a big deal if not included.
I can't really TLDR this review, but I really do love SideM. In a market where idol games are sparkly and inctricate, SideM is sort of like a comforting blanket to hide away for a little bit. Of course, they have their edgy backstory here and there, but SideM is just a bunch of (mostly) regular dudes just having fun, singing and dancing. And its really sweet. I'm cheering them on! 315!
edit: its been weeks and i just noticed i never talked about the stamina problem lol.
Stamina is too high for songs or the stamina given is too low. You can only play like 3 songs and now you are waiting 8 hours to refill. They either have to lower the cost for songs or increase the stamina bar by level.

Setelah main beberapa saat saya menemukan beberapa kekurangan dan kelebihan ini game di banding game music yang lain.
Kekurangannya, ada di note yang agak kecil dan gak bisa di gedein, terus juga penggunaan stamina yang tidak bisa di kurangi atau dilebihi (dilebihi bisa sih tapi harus pake item khusus). dan juga kalo misalnya energi kita habis kita harus langsung isi ulang kalo enggak jadi gak bisa live, jujur sih itu mengurangi experience kita saat bermain. terus tidak ada tombol retry dan juga kalo kita membatalkan live energi kita gak balik lagi, terus juga belum tersedianya multi live sama lagu nya yang juga masih sedikit.
Tapi semua itu wajar soalnya game nya juga baru liris, mungkin kedepannya akan ada update yang bisa membuat kita semakin nyaman buat main game nya.
Kelebihan ini game tuh sistem live nya yang ada animasi dari card ssr yang keren keren yang ngebikin game ini beda dari game music lainnya. karakter nya juga menarik dan juga banyak pilihannya, mulai dari om om, shota, crosdreser, bancho, ikemen, bishonen chunibyou dan masih banyak lagi. terus juga 10X pull gacha gratisnya yang bebas alias tidak ada batasan dapet berapa ssr (reroll terus sampe mampus). dan juga ratenya gacha yang lebih tinggi dari game music lain.
Tapi yang paling saya suka dari game ini itu voice nya, terutama voice nya hayato sama kabuto, pokoknya suka banget suara mereka. trus juga music nya juga bagus bagus kok enak di dengar, kesan nya kaya idol banget.
4.4
and judging by that MV I can tell the MVs are going to be great
The songs are very catchy I mean I can play Not Alone and Legacy of Spirt on repeat for the rest of my life and I won't get tired of it
Gameplay wise it's very fun I like the variety of the flick notes and the gimmicks of them the judgment of the notes are indeed very precise compared to some other rythmn games
They storyline is nice I'm so used to the sparkling idols thing that has no facial hair ect. ect. but nah fam you're getting variety with this game from Law enforcement by day to idols at night to Salary men at day idols at night
BB II is my favourite chuuni don't @me
Value now the value of the ingame currency is alright the standard rate for most gacha games
it doesn't seem to gave a pity system but the rates are 4% which is one percent higher may not seem like a big difference in reality it probably isn't but it's definitely something to note
in my experience getting ingame currency isn't very hard and I've gotten about 4 other SSRs other than the garenteed Beginning banner feature
Now the only cons to this game is if you don't have a Japanese Bandai account you can't save your account if you lose your account you start from square one, the lvling system is pretty odd compared to other games and extremely grindy, you also gotta get these glowsticks to use extra stamina which can be inconvenient for events
and it's in Japanese, this may be one of the downsides if you can't read Japanese or if you're just learning
I think that's about it
Overall it's a fun game that's definitely a step up from it's predecessor, it's a but grindy but ultimately enjoyable
4.5
The sound is great as always, but I would have liked more study equal magic in the song section, than ♾ possibilities.
I can't judge the storyline just because I cannot read japanese unfortunately
Overall, a four is necessary.
I have been a fan of Side M for a long time and I also based this judgment in part on my experience with the old game that had 3d graphics.

Damn, I reroll for an hour and no luck getting 3 SSR
IDK about the story (I skip), all IK is we're their producer (?) .It has chat and call feature. Overall is good except the energy

Solo rezo que le vaya bien c: se que todos extrañaremos mucho los 3DMVs de LOS pero creo que prefiero los chibis MVs que los 3DMVS porque los modelos 3D si sentía que luce algo raros, no malos sino algo desfasados y que no estaban a la misma calidad de Deresute o Mirishita, pero el estilo a lo Shinymas fue la mejor opción que les quedaba y lo mejor de todo es que se ven muy bien y hasta me divierte xD
Gracias Bamco por traer de regreso a los SideM y mis niños de vuelta de todo corazón ya he dicho todo lo que sentí jugando Growing Stars y ahora así a jugar con rigio a este juego y ahorrar para ver que saco en el gacha del 1er evento xD (no importa lo que salga le daré cariño de todas formas)
