A clear summer sky spreads over the Hoshinomiya Girls' High School.

The magical sisters Yuzu and Lime bestowed to her a special power to become a "Reflector".

The value story

The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in April 2024. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 29 in the 9 years tracked, about 13 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 28 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Ikenfell ($19.99, scores 74) outscores it, and so does FINAL FANTASY VI ($10.79, scores 87). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This site sampled 476 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 50 percent of the 181 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Very bland JPRG and could not capture my attention nor make me want to know what is in store for the characters.

BLUE REFLECTION I gave Blue Reflection about 1.2 hours, and honestly? That was more than enough to spot the main problems. Gameplay & Controls The gameplay feels stiff right out of the gate. Jumping and attacking both have this weird input delay, movement is clunky, and combat just never smooths itself out no matter how much you play. Exploration doesn't fare much better either the game loves shoving you into...

I went into this game hoping it was going to be like any of their Atelier games. It is not. The story is superficial, and the combat it very repetitive. It also love to show off fan service shots of the characters butts and boobs.
