The game is structured as an accessible gateway for lapsed BanG Dream! fans, prioritizing narrative and new bands over mechanical innovation.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
A closed beta test of BanG Dream! Our Notes, the new mobile game focused on MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica, suggests the title is designed as an entry point for lapsed franchise fans. The game uses Live2D animation and music videos instead of 3D live performances, includes an assist mode for rhythm game difficulty, and presents story scenes in a cinematic format. The author, a former Garupa player who had drifted away, found the game a natural way to re-engage with the franchise.
The closed beta test of BanG Dream! Our Notes does not use 3D live performances, instead relying on Live2D animation and music video integration. The story mode, called cinematic story, presents full-voiced scenes that follow the anime arcs of MyGO!!!!! and Ave Mujica. An assist mode is available to help players of any skill level clear difficult note charts. The author, a lapsed Garupa player who had not followed the franchise in years, said the game's focus on the new generation of bands made it easy to return. Pre-registration is open on iOS and Android; a release date has not been announced.
