hololive Dreams

I absolutely love this game. Since launch (last month) I've been playing nonstop on mobile and steam. There are a good mix of pros and cons and the game is still early release so they're still figuring out how to balance it. Addressing the pros first: - I think this game is refreshingly unique to the gacha genre. There is a LOT to do. - 7 Minigames, (Pokajan, High&Low, Mega Circuit/Fall Guys lol, Hoppin' Rope, Collect Cooking, and Shadowbound Chase) - You can roam about the island as your favorite Hololive Idol with the exception of graduated and affiliate talents. You pick a starter idol and unlock more through personal member quests. - This game visually is a wonderful quality. The default is normal with two tiers higher. - Lots of early game freebies - 180+ Songs and new songs being added frequently - Unique interactions and voice logs between talents. Super cute !! - There are links to support and interact with talents and their affiliated songs Mixed Opinions: - Talents are scripted caricatures of themselves and don't entirely reflect idols on stream. - Banners/ Character Events are back to back. You cannot pull for everyone as F2P, you have to save for your oshis - Rewards for daily quests is 10k Hologold which really isn't a lot. I think we would benefit more from Dream Rank EXP or 20 gems. Hologold is fairly easy to get with the addition of Shadowbound Chase and the coin exchange. - Market resets monthly so you can buy out the shops easily if you play enough. I'll admit late game, I feel like I don't have much to interact with anymore. I play a lot of Pokajan and do lives but quests are easy to fulfill. - There is a Battle Pass and it's $12 which I think is outrageous. You only get 2,500 gems if you complete it which is a good deal in terms of the shop but for a battle pass... kind of standard? - The early game will have you doing the most but late game doesn't have too much content. Don't expect constant dopamine rush if you're an addict like me. Updates are frequent enough for new content and reasons to keep the grind. - Maps are ranked kind of inaccurately, I feel like certain songs on expert are REALLY hard but then others are way too easy... Cons: - This game runs like ♥♥♥♥ on my laptop but it's fair. This is a $500 laptop made for casual, daily use. Runs great on my phone :3 - This game takes A LOT of storage. There is an option to limit it to 10GB if this is a problem but be prepared for all the downloads. Downloads are quick though. - Since this game is still early release, there is a lot of random bugs, translation errors, and multiplayer lag. It kind of sucks losing my combo in multi-live or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up in mega circuit because of bad lag. It seems one moment I'm trying to cross an obstacle and the next my character was hit by a swinging axe and I'm being thrown off despite the path being clear. There will be significant jumps in gameplay throughout multiplayer. This includes the most recent Shadowbound Chase minigame too. - Multi-live is full of sweaty event grinders so you will go crazy playing the same song over and over again. People leave if the event song isn't picked. This has been my experience for free-play and graded. It's kind of hard to play normal songs. Overall, I really like the game and have a lot of fun !! It's what you make of it :3
