tl;dr Cosplay Club is a rare miss from Behold Studios that feels like it was shoved to Early Access multiple years before it was ready. While a very strong concept and theme, the implementation is terrible. The battle system is clunky and janky, and the actual costume creation (which is arguably one of the most important parts) is stifling and awful. I wouldn't even recommend this game on sale, and I dearly, dearly …

It gets rather boring after a few hours. Its very repetitive, and getting items to make 'better' outfits is very tedious. Some battles are overly 1 sided. Many times I couldnt do anything but lose. The quests themselves aren't very straight forward and the massive amount of missing context is mildly funny. I know its still in development...but it wasnt very fleshed out before being released. Heres hoping it gets …

oh hey, the follow-up to Chroma Squad that I backed on Kickstarter came out and it's off to a good start! what can I say? it's got those Chroma Squad charms but now crossing magical girl tropes and dress-up along with a new take on the tactical battles you'd find in CS. not to mention it looks phenomenal and sounds great. there are some typos, bugs, issues with a wonky difficulty curve (normal fights are trivial, …

This game's got so much charm, it's crazy. Unique art style, beautiful effects (the transformation, c'mon, it's amazing), funny writing filled with silly puns (which I love), and a very interesting turn based combat (similar to Lost Sphear if you've played it). Not to mention the ABSURD amount of customization that is available. It's incredibly rare to find something this good in Early Access. This game is a gem and …

A really nice looking game. It made me remember of some 90's anime like sailor moon and others magical girls style. The most fun aspect is the crafting aspect, as you can play with lots of cosplays and model them as you like. The music is really nice too hence you dont get bored as the themes play along the playthrough. Is a magical-joyfull-discovery-animated playlist. Funny dialogs (Baggy <3) Another thumbs up for …

neutral · AI labelView post →Wish I could write a review that says "Mixed". I'll rate it positive because I'm hoping good things. First of all, very early access. Expect it to feel missing in a lot of aspects for a while, like sound design. Early customization options are limited, but you do unlock more immediately and throughout the story. Customization controls are generally ok, but I've had some issues. Combat is fine, but it could use a speed-up option. I like the design options. I feel like at endgame it could be as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Compelling concept, executed stylishly. - The cosplay design and building systems are incredibly robust and interesting, and definitely a highlight - Art direction is incredible. Cons: Alright, so the progression past hour two is a nightmare. It would seem like the game wants you to attend events to battle low-level cosplayers to get money and materials to build stronger cosplay, which leads into fighting quest/story bosses, and repeating that cycle. You would be wrong, for one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boy howdy does this game break when you look at it wrong. Also lmao at 'new official controller support' that doesn't even read analog input and can't read D-pad or face buttons half the time. Also I've had to play through the start of the game twice, once because it broke during dialogue and once because it broke after creating the first cosplay and frankly, that's enough. I don't know what the hell is wrong with Behold but as a kickstarter backer I'm severely disappointed with this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i like the game, but its frustratingly buggy at times. the amount of freezes and times Bally forgets all her moves during battle to leave me unable to complete challenges is too much 60% of the time. I've had to quit fights, save and restart the game just to make tiny bits of progress. I like the concept, but it leaves me stuck trying to complete quests purely because of bugginess. Hopefully these will be fixed, asap. I'd give this game a mid-rating if I could until all these frustrating issues…

neutral · AI labelView post →The game has a lot of good ideas, but has quite a few issues: Bugs: Text missing in dialog or descriptions Talking to certain NPC's will softlock the game Quests not triggering Overwriting a costume doesn't actually do anything. Gameplay: Missing simple quality of life features like being able to delete an outfit or create an original preset Short, can most likely finish within a couple hours. I spent far more time than that as I expected longer gameplay and harder endgame. Repetitive. Very…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm at the beginning but I can already say this will be a great one, super fun!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do not purchase if you intend to complete the game, it isn't possible. The game suffers from numerous bugs, the most notable being the infinite loading screens that cause soft locks on REQUIRED events for main story progression.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sad to say this game has bugs in it which makes it frustrating to play. The biggest issue is that the mouse cursor will disappear and just not reappear again. The mouse is working, but you don't know where the invisible cursor is. And that was happening right away in the game, and nothing I did would prevent it. Looked like a interesting game - if a bit basic - but fun idea. The issue is, it was impossible to play after it reloaded a new scene.

Pros: - Create your custom cosplay with thousands of options, colors, accessories, and skills - A story of starting and coming out. - Challenging battles and optional fights with rewards as you collect them to improve your collection. - Linear progression but you chose when to do them. Con: - Hair glitches out at times. - Some battles will cause the game to…

You have various quests to improve your stats, the quality of cosplay and unlock new abilities... though what excites me (and surprises me) the most, is how powerful the cosplay creation system is.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy Summary: The same developers put out a fun spin on the turn-based rpg through blending the cosplay lifestyle with magical girls. Do you want a magical girl story that blends a mundane world with a magical one? Do you want a character creation tool to dress up an oc like your favorite characters? Do you want to imagine your oc's were popular media characters that people would recognize at a con? There's little ways these questions get fulfilled, like how the battles are 'roleplay…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels like a case for a mixed review. I should emphasise that I did REALLY enjoy (some of) my time with the "Full Release" version, there's some really charming attention to detail on a lotof mechanics and you can make your own fun little cosplays and get up to hijinks with NPCs referring to you as the cosplay etc etc. The fights are a mixed bag. Sometimes the game hands you a really interesting enemy or weird abilities to work with, other times they can be very monotonous. Quest…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cosplay Club, developed and published by Behold Studios, is an ambitious and creatively themed turn-based role-playing game that attempts to merge tactical combat, crafting, and character-driven storytelling with a celebration of cosplay culture. Building on the studio’s experience with genre-blending titles, the game presents a world where creativity is literal power, and where costumes are not just cosmetic choices but the foundation of identity, progression, and combat effectiveness. It is a…

neutral · AI labelView post →Dropping an early review for this based on fun Early Access memories, and an honest belief it's improved since then. Haven't had time to dig into it myself, but there was a ton of potential here and I'm excited to get back into it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the idea of this game and it has the bones of a fun game but it's it's a completely unfinished, barely functional state at the moment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm interested in the game but after finishing the battle tutorial i get softlocked in the convention and there's no way to exit. I restarted twice to see if it was an unlucky bug but it always happens, i tried leaving the area but the bag says that i have to find Lyla and she's nowhere to be found, there's nothing i can do to progress the game. I watched the playthrough posted in the guides section and in their game they get teleported to their room after the battle so clearly i'm not meant to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't believe I didn't see a suggestion for Cosplay Club. Fun little game. Originally titled "mahou shojo cosplay club". No idea why they dropped the magical girl from it. It's still got all the vibes. And you get to design your own costume.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honest review (also before I start I should mention that the game is in early access) I enjoyed it, but there are things to fix in this game, and quite a lot. First of, every time I report a bug I simply get an error code, now I don't know if the report still goes on, but getting an error code when reporting a bug is a big issue I'd say, cuz its one of the main ways that I can let the devs know about an issue; so first thing, I think we need that fixed. Second of, I would sometimes get in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute! There are bugs but this is still a WIP game so here's some issues I found just to help the devs: Juliana's fight can soft lock very easily if she tries to do a close-range teamwork attack, leaving one of the other enemies walking forever to try and get in position for the attack. The odd hands you sometimes can fight seem like they are for a later part of the story plus they do not seem to have Icons or descriptions at all. apparently it's kinda abandoned but I hope the game gets…

neutral · AI labelView post →I cannot in good faith recommend this game. It's extremely buggy and not fun at all. The game advertises itself as customizable, but getting the items you want is very tedious. The places you go to are boring and lackluster. If you want to play the best magical girl game ever, I suggest Omega Quintet. It may not have high levels of customization, but it's better than this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has good gameplay. Combat proved to be a very interesting element in this game, it has strategy, a slower pace, but it is not boring. The graphics are incredibly beautiful and nostalgic. The music and sound effects are a little lacking, but overall they are very good too. I'm already looking forward to playing the rest of the content.
