Rhythm Hive Reviews

by O0kohgd6ncdxdtux

Played ssbts for well over a year, and it was always very fun to play until the end. I was excited to hear about this new game. Sadly, Rhythm Hive is ridiculously boring. Been playing it since it dropped and the interface is still stupidly difficult to navigate. It's also ugly and unpleasant to look at. The activity list where you assign members tasks to get rewards is overly tedious and could easily be replaced by having some sort of missions tab. There's no longer any anticipation of daily missions, the weekly leaderboard, or a new special event with exciting prizes. Who in their right mind thought that players would want to sit through a four minute song each time they want to play? Songs are too easy now, getting three stars isn't challenging. Upgrading your cards, which should be simple and integral to the gameplay, is confusing, pointless, and overpriced. You can only use one card at a time, so why upgrade the whole set? There's no fun in trying to make a complete theme out of your cards anymore to try and earn a higher score. Feels like nothing but a heartless cash grab. And on top of all that, the zig-zag lines dont even function as they should, you can hold you finger down without moving it and it still counts as if you had followed the line. Bring Superstar BTS back im begging you

I’ve been playing this game since the day it came out, probably at least an hour everyday as well. The complaints I have are typical, like how the amount of coins for each song or mix still isn’t very high, and how the songs are really long considering how small amount of reward we get, but I’ve gotten used to it, and as the more points your performance cards have the more coins you get for the mixes. What I don’t like however is the fact that if you randomly have a high card for one member, the only performance card you could get for the mixes is that performance card, so I would have 5+ a performance cards for one member, while c performance cards for others, which makes it really hard to have the other members be the best performer. The last thing that is really annoying and aggravating is the fact that I cannot count the number of times I have lost my rewards for a mix or a live stage because an error has occurred. Just today, at least 3 mixes and live stages had an error occur right after I finished playing the songs, which in all wasted 15 minutes of my time without getting any sort of reward or record that I did them. This has been happening over the past couple of days, even though I know for a fact that my wifi and internet connection isn’t a problem. What a waste of time for no rewards. The frustration makes me not want to even play this game.

First off, I downloaded the game because I love BTS and miss Superstar BTS. I had high expectations when downloading Rhythm Hive, but they didn’t meet them. Superstar BTS in every aspect was much better. Things I don’t like: 1. The layout is kinda messy and there is just too much going on. 2. I don’t like how the beat shape is rectangular because your finger shape is not rectangular. Circle shape would be the best. 3. I wish there was a handbook/guide because once you finish the tutorial there is no going back and I forget a lot of stuff. 4. The multiplayer thing is kinda annoying because the winner is determined not based on how you did, but which member got the most parts 😒. 5. The mix function is just awful. Like it isn’t even mixing the song, it’s just putting them one after the other. There is so much more awful stuff, I could go on forever Things I like: 1. The loading page, I like how it’s videos because it’s more lively. Please, if you are reading this, please fix RhythmHive . The audience will continue to decrease if you don’t meet our expectations. I recommend you look at the other Superstar games and get some ideas from them because they are much similar to Superstar BTS. Thank you

I’ve played this game since day one and have played daily, however these recent updates have been making it less enjoyable. First, the updated platform changed where all of the groups have to be logged on at separate times. So you have to go through the loading screen and earn gifts separately with each group, which takes up 2-3x the time than it used to. I also didn’t realize the update and after a year of playing and collecting all of the birthday icons, I missed an Enhypen birthday and a TXT birthday because I didn’t log onto their specific game screen making me not finish the group icon sets. The store used to take diamonds for icons, game play backgrounds and other things for the game, but now it’s split between “free” diamonds and “paid” diamonds. I now have several thousand diamonds I’ve saved for packs I want ,but now all I can get are coins, which I have an abundance of already. This game is progressively getting more disappointing and I will be spending less of my time on it because it’s becoming significantly less enjoyable. At this rate I would not recommend playing.

I love the game, I’ve been waiting for the new release for the BTS game but it’s slower than before even if it goes to 4x on hard mode. I’ve played games similar to Rhythm Hive and they have gone much much faster, I think the game songs in Rhythm Hive should be more faster because 4x isn’t as fast as I thought it would be. The game needs much work especially now since it’s new but most of the fast songs are gone now and it isn’t as enjoyable and you have to pay for membership which is kind of preposterous... replacing the original game was a bad idea/choice the games you play with people are rigged because your score only gets higher if you have a higher rated card, but as a former player who got decent at the game, it is unfair because it doesn’t go on from talent just card and the way you get cards and level up cards is a bad system too also the fact that perfecting the game is way too easy, it should be like how it was before that you miss none of them and you complete h the e game perfectly but instead it lets you slide which is eh not the best, I really like to perfect the game and it’s just way too easy with a small amount of songs. The game in total has made it too easy and it’s not as enjoyable anymore, there are many more games that offer harder and more enjoyable songs even if it’s not BTS.

I understand that HYBE is trying a fresh start, new name, new app, which includes their other groups. Though as someone who is solely a fan of BTS and is not interested in the other groups under the label, it’s odd and quite annoying that i’m receiving cards that are from other groups. It makes sense for BTS to have their own separate app because they’re so popular, and the other groups could have a sort of Superstar HYBE situation. Onto my bias for ssbts, and the Dalcom Superstar games, I wish bighit had never ended their contract with Dalcom, the game was extremely satisfying and enjoyable to play, the songs had a range of difficulty from easy to hard, it was all easy to navigate and I much prefer the layout of ssbts than this Rhythm Hive. The beat maps were better quality, these lag too much and cause me to not pass levels because it glitches and makes me miss hits. There’s no ranking system, no gaining a higher rank to look forward at the end of the week, no accessible daily missions. I’m also put off by the fact that no BTS solo songs are included. As well as the fact that the artist cards are way too expensive to level up. I’m extremely disappointed and saddened to have Superstar BTS gone, it was by far a better game, but I understand what they’re trying to do here and hopefully there will be bug fixes and updates. I’m still holding onto my hope for SSBTS to possibly make a comeback.

I’ve only had this game for two days, and so far it has been very fun and I actually find it pretty addicting. However, I have a few complaints. First, my main method of playing is going to the Mix option and playing through that. However, every time I click the Mix button to open that section, it pauses for a moment and then says “Error has occurred” and leaves me with the only option of restarting RhythmHive . In an attempt to fix this problem, I have turned off and on my wifi, restarted RhythmHive , and even turned off my phone completely, yet it continues to do this without fail. Secondly, I don’t mean to complain about the games overall design, however I have noticed that the constant flashing lights and bright colors does give me a headache pretty quickly. I’m sure a warning of some kind was in the terms and services, but I recommend that if you want your players to play for longer, create the option for darker backgrounds, and maybe to stop the flashing lights in the background. Another final complaint that I have is the crazy prices everything is sold for. They way it is all set up makes it clear the main objective is for the player to actually buy things with money, if that wasn’t the obvious purpose of RhythmHive anyway. But, I digress, even if the coin and diamond amounts dropped a little bit it would help, or at least make it easier/quicker to earn them.

the game at last doesn’t crash after every song! It’s playable. Despite this, I still leave my review at 3 stars because I don’t think it’s the best game through and through. The gameplay is alright, but I find the fact that you need cards to actually have an impact to be incredibly annoying. Especially since cards are hard to get. You only get rhythm tokens every 3 hours and those are what you can use for free to get a few cards. Mind you that there are tons of cards to collect in this game so if you only get a few cards a few times a day, it’ll take forever to get all the cards.
Also I think that card packs that are in the shop are far too expensive compared to any of the SuperStar games. For a pack of 10 standard cards they’re asking 10,000 coins which I think is way too expensive for a pack of cards that most likely won’t give you anything good.
Also I still don’t think I’m playing with real people as they claim because I’ve seen the same people over and over which is weird considering there’s so many songs, difficulties, and members to choose to play.

so far, it's a good game and i enjoy playing along to bts and txt and enhypen songs :) however i do think there's a lot to be fixed. i know the game is kind of new, but i would really like to see more songs on there, and also a harder difficulty because they are easier than the last superstar game. is it possible to add the cyphers on here? i remember in the old rhythm game for bts i loved playing those, as they brought more of a challenge. also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a pause button to the regular live play!!!! sometimes things come up and i need to pause but i have no way of doing that except for exiting out of RhythmHive , and i dont want to do that and restart the whole song again. in my opinion, the songs shouldn't be full length because then they just get too long and tiring. maybe there can be an option for a shortened version and a longer version? lastly, the design for the game overall is okay. i like the loading screen and main menu and song selection, but the design for the actual gameplay is a little bit tacky. there's a lot of pink and bright colors that are very distracting, so maybe they can be toned down a little. there is definitely more to be improved on, but overall it's a good game and i'll be spending a lot of time playing it :)

one star off for each *major* problem I had. first off, I personally think upgrading a card is way too much for the amount of cards we have to upgrade and the amount of coins we get each day. the member you play as changes every day, and this is my second problem: your card has to have been upgraded a lot to even get like top three, and it wastes a lot of coins. also, it doesn't tell you which member or song you'll play next, so you could blow all your money on cards you don't need yet. you spend all your coins upgrading one specific card and then you *might* have extra coins to spend upgrading other cards to play with later. also, if you stan all three groups and like switching between them like I do, you're stuck with the same few coins, which is understandable but I'd like if we'd have more coins because we're switching- basically, if we spend all our coins with one but we had more coins in another group earlier, I think we should still have the amount of coins we left off with, if that makes any sense.

I think that the game is very well made for many reasons. It’s very fun and I like that we’re able to choose our own difficulty settings. I appreciate that the card system is easy to navigate and that the power up/upgrade system is easy as well. I also like how the songs can be arranged by date of release, album, or artist. Further, I like that there are many different ways to play: missions, live stage, mix stages, and the studio. BUT the one reason I took off one star is because of the gameplay itself is too easy. Despite having added a 5x speed and a ‘super hard’ difficulty, there is still one thing that bothers me and that’s when playing a song. When a long note comes along, you would usually have to hold and slide along with the direction that the note is going. However, in this game it seems that you can just hold the note and not slide, which takes away from the challenge of the game. I noticed that many people have already complained about this but nothing has been done about it. I’m not sure whether this was the developer’s choice to leave it that way or just gameplay error. I hope it gets fixed though!

I actually really love this game, although I was very partial to Superstar BTS. I love that TXT and Enhypen were added to the game. However, I was expecting some BTS solo songs to be added to the selection. And I also think it’s weird that there’s a song that is just the vocal line, but the cards for the rap line come up on that song. There’s no point in that because the rap line isn’t in the song. Also, there’s no song that consists of JUST the rap line even though there’s one for the vocal line. Also, I wish there was a pause button for the live stages. The price to upgrade the cards is pretty ridiculous after going from A to S level. And the price to draw cards is pretty high too. 200 gems for a 10 pack of cards that range from B to S is not ok. 100 gems would have been just fine. And there should have been one price if you wanted the fan services. Why do we have to pay for each individual group? Overall, I enjoy playing the game and think that it’s very fun. I appreciate that there’s gems, cards, and coins for you once you open it. I love the rewards we get for stuff that goes on outside the game too. Rhythm Hive is a step up from my once beloved Supersrar BTS so I’m pretty satisfied.

I’ve been playing ever since the game started and of course there were bugs but now everything is fixed and I love this game. One thing that does confuse me and makes me frustrated is the membership. At first I did the 2 week free trial for all of the bands. I did the free trial for BTS a few days before TXT and ENHYPEN. My friend and I did the txt and enhyphen free trial together at the same time but mines ended a day earlier than theirs and I was going to cancel the trial but it had already charged me. Obviously I canceled the subscription for txt and enhypen and asked for a refund on the Apple website. It just passed through. But I selected txt and enhypen, and it said it refunded bts and enhypen, but txt was still getting charged. I just checked on RhythmHive and it canceled my enhypen membership which is what I wanted. But I have my BTS and TXT membership still. I checked my bank account and it only charged $5 which is the txt. I’m still confused about why I can’t get my txt subscription canceled and refunded and why it said BTS and Enhypen is refunded even though I choose txt and enhypen. I don’t want to get scammed.

i really love this game! i play it all the time and i really like how a faster speed was added. but, a super big obstacle is the missions. sometimes it says to get a score of at least 1,000,000 and i just have all B cards... even getting a perfect score doesn’t nearly get me close to one million. and when i go to upgrade it- it’s sooooo expensive. i’ve spent so much time,diamonds, and money buying card backs, upgrading my cards, and playing mix challenges to get more money, and it still isn’t enough to complete some challenges. i think getting gold should be MUCH easier or the price to upgrading cards should be less. if the cost for upgrading stays the same, i should at least be able to upgrade my card ranks instead of just the level of card. for example i would upgrade my B cards to A cards if i wanted so that i wouldn’t have a limit of how much i could level them up (ofc until it got to XR) overall i really enjoy playing the game and the idea of missions is reallyyyyy good, but please i’m begging don’t make them so impossible 😭

So when the game first launched i was so excited because Superstar BTS was my go to favorite game. When i played it, i was really disappointed because it wasn’t what i expected it too be. Maybe i hyped myself up too much for rhythm hive and expected it to be like superstar but a little better. Anyway i found myself not playing it so much. It just didn’t really catch my interest, until they finally did an update on it. It felt more like superstar in a way. I love the fact that now there are missions, special missions for certain occasions, more cards, more backgrounds, you get coins, cards, diamonds when you log in, comeback gifts, and many more. I play it everyday now. I really enjoy playing it because it has the daily missions, weekly and seasonal now. Of course it’s not all ponies and rainbows, there are some stuff I think could be improved. For one the prices to buy stuff are ridiculous, i don’t remember superstar charging you that much for diamonds, or special cards etc. If you want the membership you have to get it for each group which i think could be put together as one price if you’re willing to pay a monthly service for it. I’m still not too fond of the live stage. It’s sort of boring and not really as fun. I also think more songs could be added.. Overall i enjoy playing the game more than i did before! Thank you so much for the improvements but there is also room to grow!

Okay, I love this game, the way that it works is absolutely incredible and the fact that we can play our favorite songs and collect members of our favorite groups makes me excited and happy! I do have a problem with it, I know the game launched not so long ago so you guys are fixing mistakes so please work on the line distribution in some songs! I have been playing the songs for BTS a lot and I noticed that some of the lines in every other song goes to one member when it should have been to another (ex: in the game, a line was given to Jungkook when you can clearly hear Yoongi’s voice). Either put both of them for that line (because sometimes there’s more than one member singing the same line) or give the line to the member who’s voice is clearly heard in the song (for example if Jungkook was singing in the back, give the line to Yoongi who’s voice the audience can hear more clearly so there wouldn’t be confusion)

What people don’t understand about RhythmHive is that the game is still being worked on. Of course there are going to be problems and glitches, and that’s the reason they put it out on February 4th instead of the 28th. They want us to give them feedback on the issues and glitches. What did the devs get? Hate. Everyone told them that the game is awful and can never measure up to Superstar BTS. That is very disrespectful and immature.

Personally, I think the note style and design of the beatmap is a monumental improvement. The previous notes in SBTS constantly registered incorrectly and the slide notes were the worst. These notes are so much better. The design and layout of the game is wonderful and the textures and colors are so pretty. Yes, cards are currently hard to get, but if we respectfully make requests and suggestions and not insult the game, the devs will take our suggestions into consideration.

The game even says in the news that this period of time is to learn how to use the game and report any major bugs, and that “Season 1” will start soon, which appears to be a competitive leaderboard with increased rewards. Patience is the key here. We need to have patience and wait for updates, so please give the game a chance.

This game is literally everything I would want with a kpop rhythm game, but because of the new update I do have some suggestions.
The diary is cute, the hive points are nice to have, but the paid and free diamonds is what I'm upset about. Before the huge new update that came out a while ago, people were able to buy whatever themes and concept photos they wanted because all diamonds were the same. I get that the developers want to make money, but it's upsetting because this feature is useless to people that aren't going to pay just for something digital. Remove the paid diamonds. All diamonds are the same, the people that pay for them shouldn't get extra benefits.
Besides from that, it's a very addicting game, and since I play it a lot it can get a little repetitive because there aren't that many song options for enhypen and seventeen. Even if you're not into kpop, this could still work as a thumb exercise lol, it's really fun regardless what music you like

So I really like RhythmHive so far, despite other reviews I believe Rhythm Hive is a vast improvement from SuperStar BTS. The only complaint I have is that with the main system it’s kind of hard to get coins in comparison to coin costs for things like upgrades. There is no coin reward for the song line missions that have recently been implemented in the game and the only way to get coins is through either waiting for a few hours and only getting around 1000 coins each time (which by the way can only pay for about one round of powering up a card) or playing full songs over and over again only to get below 100 coins. It’s just really frustrating sometimes when I go to upgrade cards but have no coins despite playing the long list of mission songs for each artist. Another suggestion is doing what you could in SuperStar where you could sell extra cards for more coins. Overall I really like the game and appreciate all the effort that’s been put into it, but I just wish the coins were easier to get.

by Jade9009

In my opinion this is a good game! Now I never gotten the Bts super star app (I think that’s what it was called) so I never really knew about these types of games before. But the game is great! I could literally spend hours on it and forget everything! But what really bothers me is the fact about obtaining cards they are very difficult to get, since it requires like a certain amount of the blue things(idk what it’s called) and if your all out you can’t get a card pack. Even though you can still play without them, you need them to access the card pack thingy. And another thing is the coins! You can only use the coins to upgrade you performance cards and that’s it! I wish the coins could be for the performance cards and to buy stuff like gems, cards, basically all the things on there in general! But other than those few problems this game is really good. It doesn’t lag, it doesn’t crash! It’s just a fun game in my opinion!! I love it!
