Lady Popular

Good
  • Thousands of items available with clothing, furniture, pets and beauty styles with further variety added by dozens of colour options
  • Freedom to focus on the activities that interest you most be it building a dream apartment, creating outfits or fashion arena statistics
Bad
  • While the energy system is fair for the majority of the game at higher levels the progress curve dramatically slows down

Before this world of Lady Popular opens up to free exploration you’ll use your avatar to advance through the in depth game tutorial which introduces the range of mechanics on offer. Holding your hand is Emma, a highly fashionable friend who contacts players through their personal phone at the top of the game menu.

This includes exploring the city which has its own disco venue, fashion arena, mall, beauty salon, furniture store, pet shop and carnival. Your first stop on this tutorial is the beauty salon where you’ll be able to change your hairstyle only a few minutes after selecting it with a choice of over 50 hairstyles amongst another dozen extension styles and a further dozen colours. The beauty salon is also the home of make-up, tattoos, piercings and tans with a well rounded number of selections to enable you to create that customised perfect look.

After exploring the wealth of hairstyles it is straight to the mall with Emma your tutorial guide where you’ll shop at the Colors store which offers a range of basic free items. In total there are 14 stores that unlock as you level up offering different styles with names such as A to Z, Connections, Urban, Chic&Co and Lady’s Secret the ultimate store which is available at game level 22.

These stores are more than just a way to spend your in game cash though as each purchase also comes with a reward of fashion points that have popularity improving qualities across six categories that tie into the core Fashion Arena mechanic of Lady Popular. These popularity categories include style, creativity, devotion, beauty, generosity and loyalty which are increased with the aforementioned fashion points, directly with game dollars or through side activities such as your club, bonuses or your boyfriend.

Lady Popular allows you to save up to 30 outfits to allow you to easily swap between your favourite looks with a single press.

With your ideal look finished its off to the Fashion Arena for your first fashion challenge against another player. Fashion arena battles are the heart of Lady Popular with battles favouring the fashion star with the highest popularity statistics. However, there is a random element at play here with Lady Popular having 3 battle rounds that each call on 3 randomly selected qualities potentially allowing you to beat out an opponent who doesn’t have balanced statistics. These battles are also one of the few activities in the game that use the energy system (1 per battle) which recharge on a 15 minute game cycle.

Winning awards both dollars and experience which is where the game loop of Lady Popular lies as you take the currency from fashion arena battles to extend your wardrobe and ultimately popularity statistics to allow you to search for tougher fashion opponents.
