Yohane the I'm not writing that really long title is a pretty fun game, I wouldn't call it anything too special but it has a lot of great concepts, along with some real nice visuals, if you want an easy, slower paced game with an emphasis on reading enemy attacks than just straight up DPS racing and an interesting variety of weapons and variations of those weapons then pick it up, possibly on sale honestly dood. Okay big review time, so gameplay is like your typical metroidvania, you get items and special equipment as you fight through the dungeon, in this case new weapons come in two types, your main weapon that we'll call the friend weapon, these are unique in that bar the initial one, they are also used for puzzles and progression, the second type are craftable actual weapons which come in a few types and with some fancy visual changes at times too, accessories are also craftable and have some decent effects dood. Combat is very purposeful, attacks are mostly slow with certain exceptions and bar your initial friend weapon they all cost a meter to use, which can only be increased along with health using accessories, you don't level up either so it's all about those item drops! you also have items that frankly mitigates any actual difficulty and I did mess up a lot on some fights boss fights dood. XD Music is really nice and all the areas you go to are pretty nice to look at, it's nice to see more colourful areas in games like these, many these days seem to go for a dark, dank and oppressive look and that can work for some games but a little too many use that colour scheme these days so this was a pleasant surprise dood. But yeah it was a fun game with a decent variety of combat options, you aren't gonna be speeding through things but I think this can be a nice casual change of pace for many, thanks for reading and if ya get it I hope you enjoy dood ^-^7

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!

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.

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!

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.
