Description: “Twinkle Star – 未来はすぐそこで待っている” is a unique VR rhythm game (RhythmGame) based on the operating modes of various popular rhythm games on the market. The game has been licensed by SQUARE ENIX’s well-known IP “Aozora Under Girls!”, so we have created a special customized “Twinkle Star – Future Waiting” for VR users. The game is a special single version. The songs used are supervised by Japanese music teachers. The Japanese style is strong and the most distinctive feature is that the rhythm is very strong. As the music rings, the mood will be taken away by the rhythm of tension. Even if it is delicate and delicate, the songs that are laid-back on holidays are like strolling on the street, running and jumping.
Review: Twinkle Star – 未来はすぐそこで待っている (which translates as ‘The future is right there’) is a one song music rhythm game in which you will be dancing along to a Japanese magical girl band called ‘Twinkle Star’. While the graphics are OK I guess with a nice musical concert-style setting it is the gameplay that puts me off recommending it. Put simply NONE of the beats seem to go in time with the music. In fact, I would say the gameplay and the music are two separate things! If you like your Japanese shōjo manga maybe you will enjoy this, but I hated it and even with the small asking price I was left feeling totally ripped off.
