Beat Blade: Dash Dance Reviews

by Ninjumptemple

I am giving the game a one star in hopes that the developers see this comment and reply. It is an excellent game, keep up the good work. One of my favorites on my IPhone. Very addicting and a real sense of accomplishment to get full combos in levels. However, the thing that made me one star this game for now was the recent level changes. The lanes and objects are now so much more narrow. The perspective is awful now. It’s like looking at the ground from a drone’s eye. Before, it was easy to see what is coming towards you in each level. Everything was big and up close. Now, it feels like you are playing the game from an aerial view. Everything is so small now. Developers, please change this back and keep the screen zoomed in. With how small and compact the levels are now, it is impossible to even complete and get full combos on easy levels. Please zoom the camera in more. iPhone screens are small enough as is. Constantly dying because the camera perspective on the game is too small (never had this problem until recently, pretty sure the game updated and made the perspective smaller) is frustrating and kills the fun that this game once provided.

First off, I’d like to say thank you for making a game for those of us too poor for a VR to play beat saber. Sure there’s ads but it’s better than some other mobile games. You also get in game currency to buy new songs and it’s not too hard to get this.
HOWEVER, my attempts to play a song other than the starting three results in the game crashing. I will admit, I have an IPhone 6S so it’s not exactly brand new, but still. The first song I bought was Il Vento D’oro, which was the entire reason I downloaded the game. It crashes, without fail, before the end of the opening rift. Bummed but figuring the extreme difficulty song was just too much for my phone I got Centuries. Same deal. I’ve made to the chorus maybe once. Finally I tried Renai Circulation. Although I have been able to finish that one, it still crashes more often than not. In addition to the game crashing, the songs will stutter, which desyncs the audio and gameplay and there’s no way to realign them outside of dying and restarting the song.

I really want to like this game, I love the concept and is one of the fairer mobile games (or hell, any game) in terms of not requiring real money to get what you want. It’s just impossible to play unless I want to do Popstars and only Popstars.

This game is fun, don’t get me wrong. It’s a great game to play without WiFi, that is if you’ve watched the ads necessary to play the levels. It’s the right amount of challenging. It’s fun to play. My favorite level is the “renai circulation”. However, everything has its flaws, and this is no exception. There amount of ads in this is countless. I get the game needs to make money, so there’s an option to remove the ads however you have to pay, but i don’t see why there are SO many. Another problem is whenever I run into a spike ball thing, the level ends, which of course is logical and not bad. However, it usually plays an ad straight after, even if you don’t press the continue button. This is annoying by itself, but - and i don’t know if this is just my phone or if it goes on with other people - the audio NEVER WORKS. When i press the replay button, there’s just straight up no music. I’ll turn up my volume; nothing. I’ll end the game again, then replay, still nothing. If i go back to the menu, there’s still no volume. This is incredibly annoying because i have to force close BeatBlade and start over. Anyways, there are many other things i could rant or rave about, but I’m going to stop now. Please consider fixing these things.

I have had some slight inconveniences when playing and they never really bugged me much. But I have never been this frustrated with this game until now. I was normally playing and died, and when you die you get a “chance” where you can continue playing by watching an ad. Of course I take that to my advantage since Im just chilling and raging while playing the game. Normally when you watch an ad the “spikes” or the blocks that cause your death disappear and you get a little break from the spikes before playing again. I don’t know if I made sense or not but I hope people understand what Im saying. Anyways, I “revive from the dead” and continue playing. But then the spikes all of a sudden appear again. This made me a bit confused because this normally never happens. I keep on reviving myself but i got frustrated to the point where Im here writing this review. The spikes kept randomly spawning and it felt like I had to PREDICT where I was going and where to not go as if I knew where the spikes were. How was I supposed to survive in that game? I did not recognize where the spikes were and I kept raging. Please let me know if this just happens to specific songs, because this has never happened to me, even on the expert levels. Im sorry if i sound rude, Im just obviously upset.

Hi, normally I do not write reviews, but I thought if I was gunna speak out about something, this was it. Now, I love your game. Seriously. The gameplay is amazing and the ads are a bit much but I can deal with that. The song choices I mostly don’t know much about because I’m not really into all of the “popular songs”. But some I know, and I found a new favorite song from this game! (Legends never die). But the one song that I was shocked was there was “MEGALOVANIA” from Undertale. Me, being a “nerdy gamer girl uwu I guess whatever XD” freaked out. Undertale was and is my favorite game to this day. I tried to play it, and I sucked at it, but that is alright. When I was getting better at the game, the summer event came up, and I was like “oOooOo update!” So I got on the game and I was confused when I did not see my favorite skeleton lurking at the top of the song page. I thought it was because other summer songs were hiding it, so when the event ended, MEGALOVANIA was still gone. I was very disappointed that it was taken off the game. Could you please maybe put it back? (And maybe add more songs from Undertale?) That would be amazing. And I understand if you don’t want to, but please just at least tell me the reason it was removed. Then I can finally get peace XD. Thanks for reading!

I’ve always been a huge fan of the beat saber genre of games and I feel like this is the perfect way to fulfill the game in a mobile form. Just some recommendations:
•BeatBlade is a little too Ad-Oriented. You can’t do anything in the game without watching a 30 second long ad or paying for premium. I know it’s a free game but come on.
•The only way to recommend songs to be added is VIA Facebook. This is very inefficient seeing how the main demographic of BeatBlade doesn’t use Facebook. Try to expand to other outlets like Twitter or even a public Discord server where fans of the game can get together and recommend songs to be added
•Just a suggestion but the game should try to expand its community so it can interact better. Why not add a sandbox mode where you can upload audio, build a course and upload it to a community tab where other people can play it. This would be a great way to increase activity and interaction between player in the game.
All in all, this is a fantastic game and keep it up. Please keep these suggestions in mind.

This game is amazing and a go to for me whenever I’m bored. However, everything has its flaws, and there are three major ones. First, the ads. I get the game needs to make money and you can purchase the no ads version, but why are there SO many. Even if I don’t press the revive button I get an ad, and if I do press it, it will lag out and not allow me to continue, returning me to the songs after the ad ends. Second, the lag. I was playing Godzilla and almost finished the level, but alas, the game lagged and kicked me out. It’s almost only insane, expert, and hard levels that do this. I’ve turned everything to low in settings and it still doesn’t work. Third, the coins. I’ll have to watch 10 ads in a row just to get a single level, which I then beat within the hour, and then realize that I could’ve watched one to get the level. But I have this problem with most games, so it’s probably just me. Other than that, this game is amazing, and is probably the next step in mobile gaming, the graphics are sleek, the music isn’t latent with the game, and it’s easy to learn. It’s also SUPER addicting, which is great during quarantine.

I have absolutely no complaints with this so I gave you a 4 out of 5 it’s not my most go to game but I go to a often, I like how y’all do you deals and you don’t have to have a lot of coins to get some songs and I like are y’all have a variety of songs it’s not just like pop or not just country you have a variety of new songs and old songs, I personally like most of the songs and I’m pretty sure a lot of people will the only reason I gave it a four and not a five is because you have to pay extra money for the big bonuses but I like how you can get videos and get the short I personally like most of the songs and I’m pretty sure a lot of people will the only reason I gave it a four and not a five is because you have to pay extra money for the big bonuses but I like how you can get videos and get the things to fight with, once again not my go to game and another thing that I have to say is that I like that y’all made the things a different Nice variety of them, I personally like how you put in some anime into it some realistic looking ones and some fun ones for the kids and that is why I give you a four out of five

So, this is my first time really writing a review and I feel as if I should for this game because it is pretty fun. The level designs are amazing for all songs, there is a wide variety of songs, and the game is constantly receiving updates. I really do appreciate above all else that the developer(s) take the time to add in songs that the community request and actually makes them into fun levels and not just a piece of trash that was thrown together. I think that the battle pass is an excellent way to collect new songs, coins, and blades. As well as a way to encourage players to play new songs do they can compete it. One thing that I do wish was better, which I feel like the developer(s) are doing their best with, is the addition of more songs. Yeah the game gets updated weekly but I find it hard to find the songs that were added even though I press the new songs tab. Also I hope that you could include some songs by the Artist “NF” or maybe even more rap songs in general. But in all it is a terrific game to play to pass the time and to jam to music. Keep up the good work and thank you for this game!

I really enjoy this game. It’s a lot like Beat Saber, which is probably why I like it so much. The increasing challenge of every song paired with the goal of getting a full combo on each of them creates unending fun to be had. However, there are some problems. My biggest problem is that you can’t restart a song while you’re playing it. This means you have to fail the song to restart it. I’d much prefer a button in the pause menu to simply restart. In the same way, there’s no button to quit while in a song either, also meaning you have to fail to quit. Another, slightly smaller but still annoying problem is that many times when I attempt to view an ad to play a song BeatBlade says, “Ad still loading, please check connection” or something like that. BeatBlade will then show this message many more times before actually showing the ad. I’m not sure if this is a problem on my end, although every time I see the message, I’m connected to a network, so I doubt it is my problem. All in all, BeatBlade is great, and very fun, even if it has some problems to be worked out.

Fun game. Very addicting. Love that there’s anime music. I’ve been playing mobile games for several years, and never have I run into this issue...the playtime limit. I understand
that the game needs a form of monetization, and having an energy system that limits play time is something many games have, but there isn’t even an option to purchase more energy?! So it’s not even monetized, you literally just put a limit to how much we play your game, when we could be playing more and watching more ads? At least give me the option to buy more energy. The player gets one energy (play) every 10 minutes, and the energy caps at 30. After that, the player can watch a handful of ads a day for 3 energy each. After that? The player is out of luck. What kind of game doesn’t even give its players the option to play more than 1-2 hours at a time? Shouldn’t you at least have a shop item that increases energy in some way? That way you make money off of the sale of the item, and players will watch more ads during their extra playtime. Such a colossal oversight.

I love this game SO much to the point where I’m addicted. But it started this think where when I’m in the middle of a song and I come to a pause and I take my hand off for a second, but then when I put it back on it won’t let me move. And I mean it’s moving but by itself and I can’t control it so if where I left off was to the right when I put my hand back on to move it it won’t let me and it continues to go that way and eventually I die because I got hit by a spike ball which makes me mad because it’s a waste of xp and I try to get full combos on specific songs and I work on them for like a week and when I’m close to accomplishing it I die because it either does that or something else. The other thing is I’m doing perfectly fine and but is suddenly moves my character and I get hit and die. This makes me very angry because I really want that xp and need it to keep playing!! And before the happened the game was perfect and I loved it. And don’t get me wrong, I still do but that seriously needs to get fixed cause it’s a total waste of time, effort, and xp.

I have loved this game ever since a friend of mine introduced me to it. It’s a great way to pass the time and discover new songs. But every game does have its set backs and problems, so if you could devs please fix them such as: when ever I first start up the game and try to play it’s all ways really laggy and ends up making me miss blocks and making the song sometimes be off beat with the blocks. Another problem is that sometimes the song does not play when I am on my third song of the day. In order to fix this I have to waste energy in order to click onto a new song and see if I can hear that song. Anyways other than these few songs the ads are bearable and it’s a really great game overall. However I do wish there was a create your own song/block system so I can share it with my friends and see who gets a higher score. Anyways thanks for the great game.
P.S. can you add songs by underground rappers like Josh a, Iamjakehill, and others. Keep working hard devs and keep putting out great songs.

My personal Opinion, I love this game. It has a variety of songs, some that give even me a challenge, and popular songs that most of you will probably know. And the controls are also great for the third person game! Although this game is amazing and is like a Mobile version of Beat Saber with its own little twist of third person viewing, there are some adds, which can be prevented by buying a $10 No adds and all songs with No Adds! A little pricey but it does give you all songs that have adds and, of course, gives no more pop up adds. Without the purchase, the adds do sort of come up often and are usually long adds, but besides that the game is awesome. Some songs are challenges, some are fun, this game is amazing! I definitely recommend it, but hopefully more songs come out as well. I’m not saying there’s not a lot of songs, because this game has a variety of songs you could play, but it would be cool to see some more songs as well!

Hey, so I actually really like this game! I’ve been playing it for about a year, the graphics are top notch and I love all of the songs! But, that’s where my problem arises, you see.

Well, long story really short, everything I had is gone. About a month or two ago, I came to BeatBlade to play it and literally everything Ihad disappeared — all the songs I bought, all the swords I owned, and all of the songs that I got full combos on were no where to be seen. Fast forward to today and it’s still gone. I tried pressing the restore purchases button, but nothing came back. I don’t know if that had something to do with the huge update to the game (which I think is super fun), but this is not very cash money of you guys. I’d like my stuff back, it took me long time to accumulate all of that, you know.

Anyways, like I said, I think the game is the cream of the crop and all of that; I just want my progress and stuff back. Thanks, bestie 😫

When I first saw this game, I just thought it was a rip off of Beat Saber. But when I played it, I was enjoying myself! The gameplay is nice, and although similar to beat saber, adds it’s own spin to it. The graphics are good. The backgrounds are nice, color combinations are decent, and the game menu’s are slick and easy to navigate. The song choices are good. Popular songs like Pop Star and Old Town Road are expected, but other songs are really surprising. Like feel good inc, Megalovania, and Fireworks. I do have a few nitpicks. 1. There are very few swords. At least 20 is fine. 2. The fact that you need to watch ads to play songs is kinda annoying. I get you need to make some form of money from the game, but the amount of songs that require an ad to watch are kinda ridiculous. There is a way to remove the ads, but it requires money. Not too much of a issue though. A last thing, this isn’t a nit pick but, I’d love customizable skins! Like Hats, colors, and maybe even clothing?

by Djdjsnwhdvd

This is my favorite game on my phone I’m being absolutely serious everyone who has this game never delete it because it is updated weekly it has TONS of songs to choose from but there are a couple things that I want added. I think that if the player was able to buy skins with the coins that they get from levels it would bring more attention to the person holding the blade (idk what it is called) it would get more people playing the game. Next, I think that if it had better graphics than ultra it would look really cool and don’t get me wrong I think that ultra is really cool but if it had better graphics it would be even cooler and last I think that if you had more control of the customization of the character like changing the color it would have more people paying attention to that player with the blade (again idk what it is called). I really like this game and I think more people would too if you added those things so thanks for a really fun game developers and have good day. Thanks

Hi! I would’ve given this game 5 stars, but I think 3 is good enough. Anyways, let’s get to the point, as you read the title, you should already know what this review would be talking about. First off, Annoying Ads - Ads is like everybody’s weakness towards games, and this game, gives out too many ads, I mean WAY TOO MANY, every time you want to play a song, you have 2 options, play a video which is way too long to wait, and you always have to play the ad’s game in order to get past the song you want to get to, and every time I play the song, at the beginning, every beginning I do, it’s lags out so much, I already get hit by those spiked balls, whatever they’re called but you get my point, it’s annoying as heck. Second of all, the lagging, it’s so annoying, which I’m so close to uninstalling the game and play a different one, but I’m willing to let it stay and just try to be chill with the ads and lagging, if you guys can fix the problem, I’ll be even more happy 😊 Anyways, thanks for reading this, and have a great day! 👋

This game is a huge milestone for all mobile games and sets a precedent for what we should expect from the industry; however, if the developers truly desire to make the most from this amazing game, they need to make a creator mode. A mode where us, the players, get to make amazing songs for all of us to enjoy. Developers, let the players work for you. It’s been proven to work in console games such as Halo and Minecraft, so there’s no reason not to attempt it here. Another thing I’d recommend is bringing out consistent live updates. This is a huge factor in what made popular games like Fortnite popular. Once a week, every tuesday, Epic Games would have an update for their game, maintaing a consistent stream of content for their players to enjoy. Again, I cannot stress this enough: Do NOT be afraid to take risks like these. You have the potential here to begin a new era of mobile gaming for all to enjoy. You have the foundation, now it’s time for you to act on it! We’ll be optimistically hoping in the meantime. 💙
