Birdie Crush: Fantasy Golf

This game is phenomenal but is in desperate need of new and exciting updates. I’ve been playing this game for almost six years now and the “Episode” category in the character menu still says “coming soon.” I also wish there was a story line that you could follow along with for each character, kind of like a manga. For example Kris has a huge crush on Erin, but we never get the satisfaction of knowing that they finally get together. I think adding a story line like a comic for each character would make the game more immersive and interesting and would help us understand the characters even more. Also, I feel like adding a few new costumes every now and then wouldn’t hurt, or maybe some fun seasonal events that only come around once in a blue moon? Things can definitely get repetitive when you’ve been playing the game as long as I have. I just wish you could add something new to the game that made it feel exiting and motivating to come back and play without feeling boring or like you have seen the same thing a thousand times. But other than that it is a beautiful game with stunning graphics and great characters.

I really enjoyed playing this game, but I got frustrated and quit due to the gotcha mechanics. I put in so much work, and even some money, yet never got the costume I wanted. Even when it said “Choose a characters costume” it actually meant, choose a character and we’ll give you a random one. Then when I finally got a legendary costume it was either for the wrong person, or it was the SAME legendary costume I got before. So you mix all the legendary costumes you don’t care for to get one that you still don’t care for. It was a lot of work to build up the characters and to draw for costumes on a daily basis. I got all the high points for the events and everything. But in the end, I just wasted my time and money. Fun game, but if you want the nice costumes you either have to be extremely lucky, have tons of hours to grind, or pay lots of money. There need to be a function of “Get this amount and choose a legendary costume of your choice.” That would have kept me coming back because at least there would be an option I could work for.

I pre-ordered this game as a fan of Eunha, who sings the soundtrack song. I didn’t think I would play it. I don’t play many games and haven’t been interested in golf games for a long time. But I’m hooked! I play this daily. Play is fast and fun. Controls are good. The worldwide interaction is fun and well matched, and the “versus” events against each in-person player are short and sweet. I never feel overwhelmed by getting in a long match with someone far superior, as has happened in other online games. The various solo play options are great and are where I spend most of my time. I can’t explain it, I just really like it. While still being stuck at home, this game has made recent weekends more bearable as something to pass the time and have some fun. Oh, and the soundtrack that plays in the main lobby screen? Perfect. Eunha delivers a great song. I expected nothing less.
