So is anyone else playing the new Macross rhythm game currently? It's in closed beta, but that didn't stop anyone from just getting the apk for it on Android.
I've not tried looking very hard, but I've not seen any talk about it or a reddit or anything like that. I mostly just wish someone could do some translating so I could actually understand the ins and outs of these plates or systems. I don't think I'm missing much, but I have no idea. I can navigate the game fine as it's not very complicated and I can read some simple sentences or katakana, but there's still a lot I can't decipher.
I also fucking suck and fail a lot of songs on Very Hard. I like to think I'm ok at Rhythm Games because I can play some Project Diva on Extreme semi competently, but I'm having some johns because it's a touch based phone rhythm game. My phone also just decides to give out and not register my inputs at times due to my disgusting, greasy, sweaty fingers or something.
As a big Macross fan though, it's really cool to see a bunch of these dumb characters send text messages to each other across space and time. I know I could just play Macross 30 or something, but this is a free phone game so eh. The bits I can understand are genuinely super cool or funny scenarios that make sense for the characters.
Also the gacha is really crammed in there with dumb stats from "plates," which are just screenshots from the shows with a few being actual separate art. Some of it's a bit goofy though so it's pretty alright.
Not really bad, but the game is super front loaded with Frontier and some Delta songs mostly. It's making me have to fucking work to get some SDF and 7 which seem to be held super far out of reach. Honestly, I'd rather just buy a Macross Rhythm game on Vita, but they don't want to give me that for some reason. It'd be nice having buttons.
Oh, the dance choreography is also fucking super great. It's been a bit, but it feels like it's on par or better than Persona 4 Dancing All Night honestly. Except you can use any singer here and you aren't restricted to one for a song. It's really good work for a mobile game honestly. Also it destroys my phone because 3D, so I usually have it turned off.
