Yohane the Parhelion is an official spin-off of "Love Live! Sunshine". 『Yohane the Parhelion - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE -』 is a deckbuilding roguelite set in that world! A mysterious mirror world that changes each time it's entered. After countless choices, Yohane chooses...
Players build their own deck of over 150 unique cards throughout each run, collecting and combining various cards to create powerful synergistic combinations.
The game allows players to choose between two distinct deck archetypes - "Balance" and "Power". The Balance style focuses on drawing and discarding cards, while the Power style emphasizes building up large damage-dealing plays. Each archetype has access to its own unique set of cards and charms, encouraging replayability as players explore the different strategic approaches.
One of the key mechanics is the ability to summon powerful allies using "Summon" cards. These cards allow players to call upon Yohane's friends from the "Love Live! Sunshine" universe to provide assistance in a pinch, adding an extra layer of strategy to deck construction.
Players can equip "Charms" - items that provide various beneficial effects. These Charms can combine with the player's deck to create unique builds and synergies. Furthermore, players can dress up the protagonist, Yohane, in different costumes, which slightly alter her starting deck and Charm, adding an extra element of customization.
The game's "Reverse-Numazu" dungeon is procedurally generated, with its layout changing each time the player enters. This, combined with the deckbuilding mechanics, ensures that every run feels unique and encourages players to experiment with different strategies to overcome the ever-changing challenges.
The game offers multiple difficulty settings, allowing players to adjust the challenge level to their preferred playstyle. Additionally, players can unlock permanent upgrades and buffs through the game's "Fortune-Telling Shack" system, providing a sense of progression and empowerment between runs.
