posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Square Enix's idol-raising smartphone game Idol Fantasy combines the magical character traits of a traditional RPG with the attractive, boy idol craze. Imagine the buff warrior, fresh from defeating the Demon Lord, starring as the 'center' with a glasses wearing white mage and fiery heartthrob black mage. This is the kind of team the game creators imagined when creating Idol Fantasy
The game is set in a world where the real world and fantasy world cross over, and casts players as the producer of a unique talent agency that manages idols that are heroes from a fantasy world, who are able to use swords, fly, or use magic. All of these heroes are aiming to become the industry's top idol, and players must manage their schedules for concerts, or cast them in commercials or movies.
The game includes four idol groups, all of whom appear in the game's new animated promotional video.
