Love Live! Is a Japanese multimedia project that began in 2010. The franchise has produced video games, card games, manga adaptations, and hundreds of songs accompanied by music CDs, anime music videos, and live concerts. Love Live! School Idol Festival is the very first smartphone rhythm game adaptation of the Love Live! Franchise. It launched alongside a TV anime series in 2013. The gameplay consists of tapping the screen to the rhythm of songs and deck building. Players will train and support various school idols in order to strengthen their units and clear performances.
