Heroic Songs: the Remix!

Because of the issues I experienced, I can't recommend this game or not. Some of the missions were kind of unclear to me, so I often got stuck. Even though I had already done the correct actions, I still couldn’t progress to the next part, which was pretty frustrating. There were also several bugs that affected my progress. For example, even when resource buildings were placed correctly and the roads were connected, villagers sometimes couldn’t reach the buildings. Because of that, I had to relocate them multiple times. - Another issue was the support character UI. Sometimes it still appeared during rhythm performances and covered the buttons. The control layout also felt a bit awkward, using WASD with IJKL. I think this layout works better on a controller ← ↑ → ↓ and ☐△◯×, but for PC players, it would feel more natural to use something like WASD and the ← ↑ → ↓ arrow keys instead. - I also noticed some inconsistencies during story scenes. Sometimes, the background did not change properly. I clearly remember that during my first time watching the story where the player meets Lynalelle, the background was set in the city. However, when I rewatched the story, one scene suddenly showed a castle interior as the background, which made the dialogue confusing at first. After rewatching it, I realized that the scene was actually intended that way. - I also had a problem with Individual Concert No. 2. It didn’t unlock even after I rewatched the Story and Tour two to three times. It only unlocked after my fourth rewatch. However, even after it was unlocked, the concert still couldn’t be played even though the button was enabled. Previously, the button was disabled, but after I adjusted the performance settings, it became enabled, which made it seem like the concert was playable when it actually wasn’t. I only later realized that the concert couldn’t be played because the idol was still on tour, but this wasn’t clearly explained in the game, which made the situation even more confusing.I only later realized that the concert couldn’t be played because the idol was still on tour, but this wasn’t clearly explained in the game, which made the situation even more confusing. - if you accidently double click when submit tour or if you are too impatient and click again or choose another tour, your resources will be consumed twice. but you will only get the rewards once, based on the last tour you selected

I'm still early in the game, but I feel like this game has a lot of potential, and I'm hopeful the developers will iron out some of the kinks. One concern I had was if you stray from the tutorial objectives, I think the game gets "confused"...? I ended up focusing mostly on the city-building aspect for the time I've played so far, but there is definitely a learning curve for it. The controls aren't super intuitive either compared to other games in the genre, and so I hoping that they'll implement right-click-to-drag-screen or Esc to exit/cancel. The rhythm game section in particular could use a rehaul... But!! For the positives: - The scenario is almost fully voiced from what I can tell? - The songs and music are alright for an indie title. - The art is pretty good considering it's an indie game, both for the pixel art and the character illustrations. - The story fits the setting, and it doesn't take itself too seriously? The townsfolk commentary is so cute. And since I think the game was originally in Japanese, the English translation(?) is pretty good too

Ok first and foremost, the girls are all really cute. I'm in love with all of them. Overall the artwork is really nice. There's some pretty illustrations in the story, and I'm a big fan of the pixel art style. The pixel style with the city-builder gameplay made me feel like a kid playing sim city again. From the store page pics I was expecting a rhythm game more like Colorful Stage, but it turns out the city-builder part is the focus and the concerts (the rhythm game parts) are more of a side thing. The rhythm game part is a little awkward with the keys, but you can use resources from your city to make those parts easier, so it's not a huge deal. I like having different types of gameplay to mix things up anyway. My favorite part is the story. I wasn't expecting to like it so much but it's really creative. It's self-aware and the humor is solid. I'm excited to see where it goes!
