Vampire Idol ( Game ) Review

Aye, welcome to another game review o(>ω<)o☆

It’s been awhile since I did the previous review so it’s something I should get started once again on this blog.

This time, the spotlight is on Vampire Idol, a mobile otome game from Korean company, Avocado Entertainment, which is currently available free-to-play in English.

The storyline goes something like this : It begins with the player finally getting their chance to take the role as a manager in an entertainment company. However, as excited as the player is about the role, an uneasy feeling is felt which leads to the player accidentally finding out about a secret that the members of the Vampire shares - well, which is quite obvious but I can guarantee that there’s more secrets to be found as you play through their individual routes.

There are a few things that I would like to point out but I’ll start with the good ones first and then, the downsides.

The game itself is free-to-play, so there’s no waiting for tickets system here. With some free time on your hands, you can actually finish playing all of the main routes in one sitting without using any coins.

However, it has a messy pay-to-play aspect which involves the extras like the clothes, voices, calls, etc. I feel it should be more organised.

Even though, the coins there can be gained through daily dice-throwing, watching videos, downloading apps and social media sharing but it takes a very long time to gather the coins needed to buy the highly-priced stuff there.

So, this is something you really have to be patient and hardworking with, considering it’s a free-to-play game.

Speaking about characters, the main character is really awesome to play as ! You can see how the mc is really determined to get what she wants without being annoying or cringy. No helpless heroine trope here. The mc switches between being nice at times and bad in some ways which makes the game quite interesting.

The love interests on the other hand are diverse, I guess. I can’t mention more without spilling spoilers but I can tell you that they’re worth your time. I recommend playing all of them. (^_~) There’s five of them but Doha, the fifth member is only open once you finish the other four members.

The illustrations and CGs in the game are pretty to look at but getting them might be a pain. What I meant is that you might find yourself saving and loading saved files with the chapter starting over and over, ( I’m grateful that the save/load feature exists TwT ) just to get the correct answers and raise affection for the good endings. There’s also a chance you might not get any CG at all in the end ( Ian qwq whyyyy u did this ).

Well, I guess that’s all for the review of this game. Do I recommend this? Well, I can safely yes if you’re good for games with an interesting story and refreshing set of characters. Also, an extra nod for fans of the vampire genre out there (*・ω・)ﾉ and idol groups as well.

Still, here’s hoping that Avocado Entertainment decides to bring Vampire Idol over to iOS, so that more players can enjoy this game. 

In the end, I do think this game needs support, in the sense that the game publisher might consider creating more otome games in the future and translate their existing Kakao games into English if possible. Vampire Idol is their first English game after all.
