Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses! It’s me again yer favorite app pirate and I’m here to take you on a new adventure around the seven seas. We usually have time to kill whenever we go from one treasure hunting destination to another, as they are often far apart. Good thing that there are many things that we can do to pass time, and as ye know, one of them is playing games. Don’t let anyone know, but let me share ye a secret. I’m also a fan of k-pop! Aye, I watch Korean series and I’m a fan of idol groups. Har, har, har! Today, I’ll share with ye an app that is a combination of those two things I like: k-pop and games. Avast ye and I’ll share with ye this game called K-Pop Academy by HyperBeard.
It has cute aesthetics
The characters are adorable. You play as the manager and you can customize your look. There are also different idols that you can unlock, and you can change their clothes and accessories. Both the big and chibi versions are cute. It’s also refreshing to the eyes as you see the rooms and dorms of the idols become better as you decorate them. But there’s a limit on the rotation feature of the items, so it’s hard to put them together, especially the furniture.
It’s free but it’s hard to earn coins
This is a free game that comes with advertisements. There is a one time-fee if you don’t want to see ads when playing. There are also ads that you can watch to earn coins and other items. Besides that, there are other ways to earn coins, but it’s hard to do so. You only earn a little amount for the tasks you do, so it takes time, while the items are expensive.
It’s content rich
This game has a lot of content, so you can find yourself playing for hours. As you manage your trainees in various aspects of their day to day life, you unlock more things, and try them as you progress in the game. There are also mini games, which add value to it. If you want to take a break from the main tasks, you can spend time playing the mini games instead.
It’s enjoyable but there are bugs
It’s fun to play this game, especially since it feels like you are actually managing an idol group. The idols have their different personalities and talents, so you should strategize to maximize the benefits you’ll get. There are bugs as the items you buy or should have won from playing advertisements don’t always show.
Thumbs up
This is a free game that’s content-rich. It has adorable images and you will enjoy managing idols from their trainee days to their success. You can customize your character and decorate the rooms of the idols.
Thumbs down
There are bugs as the items that you should have won or purchases don’t always show. You can’t also fully rotate the furniture.
The verdict
We highly recommend K-Pop Academy to those who are into k-pop. You’ll get to manage your own k-pop group from their trainee days and guide them until they become successful. It has incredible aesthetics, it’s content rich and enjoyable.
