Quick review: buy it on sale, it's a genuinely great Metroidvania but the short length means $30 is a bit pricy--very worth the $17 I paid tho! I can't believe the Love Live Metroidvania is actually good. Like, really good. I was not expecting much from this game when it was announced, as anime tie-in games don't exactly have a great track record, but hiring Inti Creates to handle this game was an inspired decision! I'm not super familiar with Love Live lore (I've watched like, a few performances and a few eps of the anime) but I know this game is supposed to be part of the Yohane fantasy spinoff series, with each of the Sunshine idols getting fantasy designs and roles. I think the art direction and character designs are FANTASTIC, and will likely be checking out the anime after playing this game! This is a tight game--I'm a big fan of Castlevania games like Symphony of the Night, and this is equally satisfying to control. While it doesn't have the combat depth or RPG leveling of a game like that, it still scratches that itch and provides plenty of fun exploration and entertaining enemies and bosses. Many other reviews criticize the difficulty for being too easy, and I just don't agree with that--I think it's quite a fair difficulty, and I certainly died quite a few times during my playthrough. It has easy access to items and plentiful save points, but I would argue that's just QoL, not "too easy". Not every game needs to be Elden Ring, and especially with a very cute game like this it feels appropriate to be easier. The pixel art and music in this game deserve special praise--they are GREAT. Every area is beautiful, and the animations for Yohane are absolutely adorable--the way she cowers in fear when you duck for a few seconds is one of my favorites. Every sprite is expressive and bosses have clear tells for their attacks, so if you wanted to, you could learn to perfect dodge every attack. This is a game that has serious effort put into its presentation and its why I played the game--I watched the trailer and said "yeah I need that". The music is constantly catchy, fun, and has that classic "JRPG" sound (similar to the Ys games, and other Falcom works). It's very well made and always fits the area you're in. This game is also FULLY VOICED which was crazy! Being the Love Live cast, it's of course absolutely perfect--everyone is so cute and expressive, which is helped by a very solid localization. This game's story is nothing to write home about but it doesn't get in the way and the few cutscenes are all entertaining and good, so it serves its purpose quite well. Overall, the only real criticism of this game is that its short length means that many late-game abilities are used literally once--so they feel like wasted potential. I really wish there was a new game plus mode that increased the difficulty and let you maintain all your items and abilities so you could really show off some of the cooler special attacks and stuff! But for what it is, this is very much worth buying on sale, and if you like cute anime girls and Metroidvanias I can't imagine you having a bad time!

Dec. 2024

I have zero knowledge about Love Live but I think Yohane is a lovely character, really like her. The game is a short light metroidvania of a good quality, can be finished 100% in 8h c.a. The full price for this title may be prohibitive for a lot of people in my opinion the entertainment it delivered to me was enough to leave me satisfied so I'm not regretting the purchase but it may of course be different for you. That thing just before the ending thou... that was unnecessary.

Sept. 2024

Underrated game. A little on the easy side but one of the few spinoffs that feels like a real game that was made by a team (Inti-Creates) who know what they're doing. Yohane is the best!

Aug. 2024

Pros: Fun, good cast of characters, not too challenging, good variety of items and abilities. Cons: Entirely too short (100% complete in just over 8 hours), enemies are recycled way too often, lack of dodge or dash ability makes combat less engaging.

June 2024

It's a pretty alright game - soundtrack's a bop and the combat is fairly snappy. It's a little on the easy side depending on how much of an outside-the-box goofy thinker you are but if you're a Love Live! fan looking for some good Love Live! content or someone new to Metroidvanias looking for something to ease themselves into the genre with, you've come to the right place. Maybe the real Blaze in the Deepblue was all the friends we made along the way.
