D4DJ Groovy Mix

Reviewing from the perspective of somebody who plays more for the rhythm aspect than the gacha or story. D4DJ stands out among the myriad of other mobile gacha rhythm games to me. The gameplay is more interesting with the disc and slider note types. And unlike any other gacha rhythm game to my knowledge, it offers technical scoring, in addition to the typical card based scoring. Very great feature for people like me who are more interested in the rhythm gameplay and don’t necessarily care about the cards. The music selection also feels more tied to the overall rhythm gameplay scene than other gacha rhythm games. In addition to the many original tracks by the game’s original groups, there’s also some Touhou music, collaborations with other rhythm games (WACCA, Rhythm Doctor, maimai). The Japanese server even has a cover of conflict, though it’s absent here. The overall EDM focus of the game’s original music also makes it more similar to other rhythm games, a game genre that overall tends to have a strong focus on electronic music genres. TL;DR - D4DJ is a strong recommendation for rhythm gamers who want more in-depth gameplay than other gacha games tend to offer, and can more easily ignore the gacha aspect of the game due to the addition of technical scoring.

I’ve had so much fun with this game. I have a few ideas for improvements, though: - Card Trading / Swapping System Say you get a high-level card of a character or outfit you don’t want. How about you put your undesired card onto an in-game public marketplace, and select the card you would rather have instead? Then, a player who wants your card and has the card you desire, they click “Accept” and you’re given a second chance to accept or decline in case you made a mistake. It goes through, and everyone’s happy! Of course, this system could go on a per-character, per-team, per-star rating basis, but it could follow that framework. This would add an additional level of community outside the game itself, players chatting with one another to find optimal trade deals. - Fix Online Matchup System ( + Temp. Ban System) Before online matchups were made faster by the addition of NPCs, there were “mini conversations” by way of the stamp system. The automatic NPC fill-empty-slots function, though at times convenient, kind of ruined this aspect of the game’s community. Turning this from an automatic function to one that can be toggled manually by the first player to arrive at the multi-live could restore it while still offering convenience. Also, the banning system is rather glitchy. Today, for instance, I had a bad internet connection and unintentionally disrupted many games in a row. The game mistook this as foul play and banned me for the day. So… fix this, please? - - - - Thanks for reading, Bushiroad / Donuts + the interested gamer! I sincerely hope you check this game out (you won’t regret it :] )!

I typically don’t write reviews, but I have some thoughts I’d like to share. the graphics are very meh for once, none of the cards are particularly jawdropping, + most of the characters seem to have as much personality as a stale piece of bread. The overall layout of the game is honestly very painful to look at. I understand they were trying to go for a certain theme, but I feel like it doesn’t really work well, and to be blunt, is ugly. It’s just not appealing to the eye. I also feel as if the game is overall very overwhelming, I feel like it has a bit too many features, and I was constantly getting popups when I was just simply just trying to play the live show. On that note as well, the option to customize ur own club is cool and all, but I feel like it’s very lackluster and honestly not really necessary. The songs are also in my opinion, kinda bad.. some of them are really great! but the covers are very meh in particular and I feel as if most covers literally sound like they were made in garage band, I also had a lot of trouble with the live shows in particular, I feel with the way the live shows are designed, it makes it overall very difficult to play especially when your a thumb player, this coming from someone who can fc 27 songs on bang dream… I can however appreciate the fact that they made it to where even if you get a good, it counts towards ur combo.
