The Idolmaster: Stella Stage

About

The Idolmaster: Stella Stage is a music and management game where you oversee a team of 13 idols and a new recruit from a rival agency. You handle their training, event prep, and live performances, balancing schedules to keep them in top form. Rhythm-based gameplay comes into play during concerts, testing your timing as you guide the group through songs. The story centers on a joint event between two production companies, adding layers of collaboration and competition. With a cast of 14 distinct performers, each with their own quirks and skills, the game stands out for its deep customization options and live event planning. Community feedback notes the satisfying blend of strategic management and musical challenges, though the PS4-exclusive release limits access. The addition of Shika as a wildcard character adds intrigue, and the 2017 launch brought a fresh take to the long-running Idolmaster series.
