Ensemble Stars!! Music is a masterclass in the idol rhythm genre. As a rhythm game expert, I found the 3D 'MV' (Music Video) performances to be some of the best in the industry, featuring incredibly high-quality character models and choreography. The gameplay is responsive, and the difficulty levels are well-tuned, ranging from 'Easy' for beginners to 'Expert' and 'Special' for veteran players.
The 'Gacha' and card collection elements are deep, with a massive roster of 49 idols from various units. The writing is surprisingly engaging for an idol game, offering a lot of character development and drama through its voiced story mode. While it can be a bit overwhelming for new players due to the sheer amount of currencies and systems, the core rhythm gameplay is so polished and the presentation so slick that it’s easy to see why it has such a massive following.
