Why are you only raising the point of initialization now...

If you look at the event article, it says that it's pointless to play now and get points because it's the end point.

I've been playing here for almost 40-50 hours now and I finally got around to posting a tip that says it resets every Monday.

I've been playing and raising my score so far, but if you say 'Hey, I'll raise my score in the last week of the reset~', what happens to the time of the people who played?

It would have been better if the event article had mentioned in advance that the scores from the last week are applied since it is initialized from the beginning.

I don't think they'll add up the highest scores at the time of initialization or use the highest score as a standard. There's no information about initialization on the event page, but why is there a pop-up window in StovePop Play that suddenly tells you about ranking initialization in such small letters?

Please tell me exactly how the score is applied for initialization

Since Stovepop came out, are all the people who have played for dozens of hours and raised their scores really doing stupid things?

When viewing the post through [Store Page → Bulletin Board] on a PC, there is a phenomenon where the text and background colors in the table are similar, reducing visibility.

It's a bit of a hassle, but you'll probably have to look at it through the Stove Indie community (if you look at it this way, the background will be white so it will look normal) or on mobile. (In the case of mobile, the text will automatically change to white even though the background is gray so it will look good.)

If you click on the link below, you will be taken to the post screen entered through the community. (I just noticed this for the first time, but the links for posts entered through the game bulletin board and posts entered through the community are different.)

" Is this the game called 'Love Live' ? "

💎 First impressions of the game

Do you guys like animation?

I really like it, and when I have time, I often watch one or two of their works. (I don't have time, so I don't watch a lot.)

The only anime I've been watching lately are 'The Pharmacist's Monologue' and 'Solo Leveling'.

But sometimes, when I watch animation, it's so fun that I feel like it's a shame that only the amount of it aired on TV is enough.

This is a fairly common occurrence these days, so companies are always keeping an eye on this demand.

In the industry, there is even a term called OSMU (One Source Multi-Use, producing multiple contents with one IP) .

Representative examples of OSMU in animation would be Love Live and Idolmaster .

Both works contain the stories of girls who want to become idols, and are long-running IPs that have been released for 15 and 20 years respectively.

Since both IPs are so popular, they can be accessed through many media such as comics, animation, movies, games, and albums.

Today we will be looking at a game based on the Love Live spin-off anime, SUNSHINE in the MIRROR .

『Hwanil no Yohane - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE -』

I will review this from the perspective of a casual user who has never played Love Live before.

⌚ Gameplay

『 A deck-building roguelike with greatly reduced difficulty 』

<This release is the second game in the Hwanil Yohane series>

As previously introduced , the Hwanil no Yohane -NUMAZU in the MIRAGE- (hereinafter referred to as Numazu) that we are introducing today is a Love Live spin-off.

For those of you who don't know about Love Live, let me give you a brief introduction. It's a work that depicts the story of high school girls who want to become idols.

Since it is an idol training show, there are quite a lot of characters and there are definitely elements that make you get sucked in.

"

Love Live series

Spin-off game

"

Since this game doesn't follow the main story, let me tell you a little bit about it.

You can think of it as a story of another world created by utilizing the character traits of existing animation characters.

But what makes Numazu different from other spin-offs is that there is already an existing animation in production.

The previous work, Blaze in the DEEPBLUE, was already released in November 2023.

To be honest, since it's about idols, I'm not sure if the worldview is solid, but there are points that make me look forward to it in terms of fun.

<The game story part has a bit of a visual novel feel to it>

The game is basically a deck-building roguelike game .

However, as I mentioned earlier, since it is a game derived from the world of Love Live, it feels a lot like a visual novel.

It's not like it's a romance story that you often see on Stove, but rather, it feels like watching a fun story with the characters .

The world view is also very humorous and light.

To summarize the story very briefly, it is the story of a fortuneteller named Yohane, who is not very good at fortune telling, entering a mirror.

If you look at it from the perspective of how enjoyable it is to solve problems, it might be a little more understandable, as it pursues humor rather than seriousness.

However, it contains a lot of so-called 'ogling anime directing', so if you are uncomfortable with this type of directing, please take note.

<It's fun to see what roles the characters from the main story play in the game>

Since it is an IP where the characters are very important, I cannot help but talk about them.

Since the series is a spin-off based on the characters from the main series, Love Live! fans will see many familiar faces in the series.

And if you look at other people's reviews, there are many characters with completely different personalities from the original.

I think existing fans will be looking forward to seeing how the characters will turn out .

"

For existing fans

It feels like an additional package

"

However, since I don't enjoy the Love Live series, I didn't know what kind of characters they were in the main story, so I missed out on a lot of this fun.

This point is understandable if you think of it as a service for fans .

This is actually why I'm more curious about the IP called Love Live. 😁😁

When I have time, I should enjoy the old ones first.

<Actually, there is almost no difference in the gameplay from Slay the Spire>

Since the core elements of the game are closely related to the main IP, I have talked a lot about the characters.

I feel like it was done pretty well, even from a gameplay perspective.

In fact, the system is almost identical to the gameplay of Slay the Spire, the original game of this genre.

Starting with a deck containing basic cards, and then building your own deck through looting and shop purchases, etc.

A dungeon progression system with branching points, a system for removing cards from the store or purchasing items/cards at a discounted price,

Many aspects, such as the way you choose between resting and strengthening your cards in the rest area, have been implemented in almost the same way without any changes.

Since it targets casual users, the only difference is that the difficulty level itself has been lowered significantly.

However, there is still the advantage of being able to enjoy the game in the way I like, with the character I like .

Not only is it delicious to enjoy in a bright and cheerful atmosphere, but it is also fun to watch in animation style.

Above all, since it is a game play method that has already been proven to be fun, it is good that you can play it with confidence.

Personally, I value the unique game style more, but I also think that if it's fun and there are no major issues, then it's okay.

<You can purchase bonuses or enhancements through reputation to help you progress through the next story>

Rather, the system that caught my eye was the one that used reputation points to help with the next playthrough.

You can earn reputation points for each quest by completing them without having to take on a separate order through gameplay.

Reputation points earned this way can be used to permanently strengthen your character or unlock items.

Alternatively, you can purchase various strategy bonuses that can help you with your next strategy.

For example, you could say 'Start by upgrading 3 random cards from your starting deck in the next challenge', or

You can purchase features such as 'Free purchase of the first item/card in the next challenge' or 'Always +1 attack power in the next challenge' at a low price.

However, unlike 'Ability Enhancement', which is permanently applied to subsequent progress once purchased, 'Attack Bonus' is a one-time purchase.

You need to carefully decide which one to purchase first.

<If you purchase the DLC, you can also play as a character that appears in the story. It's a little expensive, though...>

In fact, the main character of the game is Yohane, but the other characters that appear in the story also provide fun with their unique characterization.

That's why you might want to try playing as various characters, not just Yohane.

This issue can be resolved by purchasing DLC.

The DLC may add the remaining nine characters as playable characters, in addition to Yohane.

You can also enjoy a variety of different looks through various costume sets.

However, the price of each DLC ranges from 9,900 won to 21,500 won based on the regular price, and there are a lot of different types.

It's a bit more expensive than you might think, but it's not essential like other expansion pack-level DLC, so casual users won't have much resistance to it.

📌 Game Review

『 In the IP called Love Live

A game like goods for interested users 』

In fact, I was personally very interested in this game because I heard that it would be officially released in Korean by Stove in February.

There are many games that boast beautiful animation-like illustrations, but games based on animation IP are rare.

That's why I had high expectations for what kind of enjoyment it would bring in terms of fun.

However, after actually playing the game, I felt a little different. The game itself was fun enough.

Rather, it felt like goods for users who love the IP called Love Live, or for people who are interested in Love Live.

From the tone of the dialogue to the story and character design, many things gave me the feeling that 'this is an animation'.

Most importantly, it seemed like a lot of effort was put into appealing the point that 'this character has this kind of charm.'

So I recommend it to those who are interested in Love Live, or at least like the anime feel, rather than the game itself.

A magical story of Yohane who finds and solves various difficulties in the mirror world.

It was 『Hwanil no Yohane - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE-』 !
