SQUARE ENIX has just launched its latest rhythm game SHOW BY ROCK!! Fes A Live for the Android and iOS platforms. The game is based off the SHOW BY ROCK franchise by Sanrio, and is in fact a remake of the original release back in 2013 for iOS and 2014 for Android.

The gist of the plot has players following the story of rock bands that hail from Midi City trying to revive the so-called Galaxy Ultimate Rock Festival. Fully voiced and boasting live 2D animation, the game aims to surpass its predecessor in every way in terms of presentation. As you perform at live events and sell goods, you will in turn be able to earn money that can be used to renovate the town in which you reside in. That aside, you will require resources to fend off the attack of the Dark Monster. As a rhythm game at heart, SHOW BY ROCK!! Fes A Live features signature songs from the franchise, which can be customised accordingly to the preference of the player.

To celebrate the launch of the game, all players will be getting Rhythm Stones that can be used for 10 rolls of gacha. Furthermore, everyone is getting 500 training tickets, on top of the additional 10 gacha tickets just for logging in. If you like rhythm games in general, this would definitely be something worth trying, as it has a pedigree to it.

Also, be sure to give the anime a watch, as you will be able to have more context as to what SHOW BY ROCK!! is all about and be able to get acquainted with everyone before jumping into the game. The game was remade for a reason, and both old fans and the new audience should find something to like here. As always, for more information, be sure to drop by then official website for the lowdown.
