Fellas, you ain't been reaper-farming if you don't have the Junes theme blaring in the background, while you wait for your party members to freak out over the Reaper every 5 minutes.

A fun spin-off with most of the idol songs from the entire Gunvolt Series. It's a harmless spin-off, and it's nice fanservice for providing us more of the idols. I do wish there were some sort of story interactions. I guess I was expecting a bit more after playing the modern Persona Dancing games, but it's here to just be a rhythm game and it's doing that well. I definitely recommend the Switch version of the game, just because using touch controls are a blessing.

It's worth the cheap price it goes for now, so I have no complaints, really. Pick it up if you like Gunvolt. Otherwise... if you like rhythm games, I guess, but even if that's the case - there might be better versions of it.

I'm convinced if you don't feel emotional during the final hours of this game, you might be a monster. I don't make the rules. I only enforce them. /j

3.5/5 Stars:
For me personally, the bittersweet story of the GV series has always been a large reason why I've loved them so much. Seeing this game fumble that bag has been a difficult experience. Even if the writers did get themselves into a corner with GV2, it still hurts - especially because Kirin herself is such an interesting character. She just barely develops, and a majority of her time spent is done putting down Gunvolt and acting like what he sacrificed in the last two games weren't justified. It's a hard pill to swallow for me, who found the story to be one of the best aspects of the last two games.

What about gameplay? That's why MOST people play these games, after all. I love it, but hate it! Kirin is busted! She's so busted you can speed through levels unqualified and just BARELY get through, but it's always fun as heck. To counter this, the game has a gacha system that requires you to replay and explore the levels over and over till you get lucky. I originally didn't mind this concept, but as each level got more complex and obtuse with how you used Kirin's ability, it became very monotonous to replay stages.

You're not forced to replay the game, of course. Doing what you want should give you a decent time, an. As for the game's presentation, it's a large step-up from the first two games. The new English voice actors do a very good job at representing characters who used to have an amazing legacy, and the game looks fun and plays fun for what it is.

Still, my gripes with this game comes with the story. I hated seeing my favourite characters be left, forgotten, or completely put down upon by the newer ones, and it felt like the timeskip was unwarranted. The game oozes that usual GV charm that the series carried before it, but it sacrificed a lot for me to make it like that.

From what I remember, there was a LOT of waiting and grinding. Definitely not worth it for a longtime session, but at the very least is casual friendly.
