While the core gameplay loop of Love Live! School Idol Festival is based around completing brief rhythm game challenges, it’s the supporting gameplay systems in the form of card collection and improvement that allow the player to advance to new heights. By collecting cards of different members (up to 9 in a full group) and combining/sacrificing them to improve a single card in their collection, the player is able to increase the possible points they can collect from the rhythm challenge, or “Live.” This means the game is able to allow continuous improvement for the player, even if they’ve already mastered the songs they can perform.
