New Charms and Costumes: More ways to customize your run and strategy through collectible outfits that provide unique starting bonuses. Core Gameplay Mechanics
At its heart, NUMAZU in the MIRAGE is a roguelike deck-builder. You navigate a procedurally generated map, choosing between combat encounters, rest stops, shops, and random events. 1. The Card System Cards are divided into several categories:
Attack: Direct damage to clear the "Nightwicked" reflections.
Defense: Essential for mitigating the heavy hits from bosses like Nightwicked Dia or Mari. Talents: Permanent buffs for the duration of the battle.
Summons: Bringing in the other members of Aqours to provide massive field effects. 2. The Magic System
Unlike traditional deck-builders, Yohane uses "Cost" and "Magic." Managing your energy is vital, especially when trying to chain together multiple high-damage spells in a single turn. Strategy Tips for Version 1.0 Yohane the Parhelion: NUMAZU in the MIRAGE v1
To conquer the deeper levels of the Mirror World, keep these tips in mind:
Synergy over Strength: Don't just pick the card with the highest damage. Look for cards that interact with "Charging" or "Discard" mechanics. A lean, synergistic deck is always better than a bloated one.
Utility Charms: Charms (relics) can define your run. If you find a charm that boosts "Summon" cards, pivot your strategy to prioritize finding Aqours member cards.
Don't Fear the Shop: In v1.0, gold is plentiful if you take elite fights. Use the shop to remove "Basic" cards from your deck to increase the frequency of drawing your powerful rare cards. Visuals and Sound: The Aqours Magic

When Love Live! Sunshine!! fans first heard that Yohane (the chuunibyou alter-ego of Yoshiko Tsushima) would receive her own full-fledged action-adventure game, skepticism was as high as excitement. Developed by BeXide Inc. and published by Bushiroad Games, Yohane the Parhelion: Numazu in the MIRAGE promised a genre departure—from rhythm games and visual novels to a deck-building, action-roguelite set in a fantasy version of Numazu, Shizuoka.
The “v1.0” release (launch build, version number 1.0.0 on most platforms) is the purest, unaltered vision of that promise. It is also the roughest—a time capsule of balancing issues, untranslated quirks, and raw experimental design. This article dissects every aspect of that original build, from its gameplay loop to its narrative framing, and evaluates what v1.0 meant for players stepping into the "Mirage" for the first time.
Do not let the pastel aesthetic fool you. This game is hard. Think Hollow Knight lite, with shades of Mega Man Zero. The second boss—a possessed vending machine that shoots canned coffee and oden steam—will absolutely wreck your confidence. The v1.0 patch re-balanced the hitboxes on Chapter 4’s "Water Reflection" stage, but the platforming still requires frame-perfect feather-dashes.
Casual rhythm game fans, beware. This is an action game first and an idol fan-service vehicle second.
