To improve your Vocal skills, you have to fill in missing lyrics in hiragana as in the screenshot on the right. The bulk of the “gameplay” consists of using the touchscreen and stylus to give Ai “lessons” through mini-games. There’s no way to buy outfit or accessories either, you have to wait till Sunday and pray a fan sends you one. Idols are supposed to be cute and fashionable, right? Right, Namco? Oh, you didn’t get the memo? Ah, that explains why your idols only have three outfits with a few palette swaps, some ratty-looking accessories and no hairstyle changes at all. Ryo has a soothing, boyish voice (being a trap and all) and Eri’s voice is high and sweet, but Ai is just loud, bordering on screechy. The same songs sung by the other playable idols are slightly more bearable. I’m not a fan of cutesy-poppy idol music in general, and Ai’s voice grated on me. After all that effort, though, your idol’s success in auditions still depends largely on luck. The player’s involvement consists of picking out outfits, adding a few moves and helping her “memorize” lyrics and “learn” dances through minigames. What music there is is pretty bad and the songs your idol can sing are fixed, as are her dance and vocal performances for each one. There’s no tension at all.ĭearly Stars is a game about a musician, but it’s not really a music game, per se. When you have an audition lined up, your rivals and the organizers will wait as many days and weeks as it takes for you to get your act together. You’d expect that as a teenaged idol you’d have to balance your school life with performances while finding time for training and taking care of your health and getting enough food and rest, that sort of thing, but there are no schedules to worry about or deadlines to meet in Dearly Stars.
All of them are very easy to raise and keep high. There are only three stats to manage, plus tiredness.
