If you like rhythm games, this is a good one. There's a skin that emulates the look of iidx, and visually the game is a bit like a simpler off-brand sdvx. Many of the charts are fun and challenging. There's sometimes some lag, but there's no fussing with timing settings like there is for other rhythm games, notably love live. I use bandori to cross train for other arcade rhythm games and find that it's helped my sight reading.

Update: Okay, the game doesn't crash for me anymore, which is great. Although, after playing for about 20-30 minutes, it's now lagging and glitching a bunch, sometimes causing me to lose my combo or making me lose. It's very frustrating. I will say that the game is still very fun. I'll play multiple times a day and always have a good time, even with all the lagging. The event are great and the characters are amazing, as well.

This is an amazing game, I just didn't realize how must storage space was going to be used in the download. It turned out to be fine because I had the space for it, but when the 6th anniversary update happened, I got stuck. It will show me the intro screen, but when I tap to start, I goes to a black screen. The funny part is that the music works fine though because it somehow is still running while my phone is off or while I'm on a different tab. Edit:Left it on the blackscreen, sortof works now

i love this game! however it is completely unplayable on Android. For about a year its been a miracle to even get past the title screen without it crashing and even then it will just crash in the middle of doing literally anything. I'm shocked there seems to be no fix for this :/ edit: even when playing the newest update the crash issue is not fixed despite what the company says

I really love this game, cards are beautiful and there are many characters. (Some of my favorites being Lisa, Moca, Toko, and Tsukushi.) There are also been many crossovers. I have been playing this game for over a year, yet this game has been inaccessible to Android players for months. Sometimes there are updates that in sometimes the game runs smoothly yet after a while the client stops working as a whole. Recently even through the tutorial stage the game keeps crashing.

ive been playing this game for about 3.5yrs and consider it one of my favorites; the characters, music, and story have me really emotionally invested. i have never encountered many problems but this crashing issue is really disheartening ☹️ i can hardly open the game before it stops working and when i make it past the login screen and try to play a song, it crashes as it's loading. waiting for the devs to fix this issue before i can give it 5 stars.

Decided to redo this review. I've been playing this ver since release, and I still have fun with it. The characters are all fun and unique, the stories (events included) are all enjoyable, and the art is pretty. Original music is well done, and so are the covers. I definitely suggest giving this a download, it's easy to get into. My only issue is the drop rates. Rates are supposedly up for new cards, but it really doesn't seem so. Though it's annoying, most games tend to be like this.

Fun app. If you like rhythm games I'd recommend it. But they have a LOT of features that have sat for years and never been implemented. Area items that are still unused, bands with songs in the list but no playable members. It's easy to learn and almost impossible to master so that's a plus though. Also, the fact that the bands are real bands that do live shows is a big plus but adds to the "give them in game characters" need.

decided to change my review after the huge 5* update, the game has become so large and laggy that its borderline unplayable at times. there was no reason to add the 3d models. i have a feeling they were trying to compete with proseka when it was best to just stay as bandori before that huge update. 5* rates are also VERY BAD compared to 4*s, and 5*s are the new meta if you want to start tiering in events. a few positives that keep it from 1 star are the beatmaps, characters, art, and songs.

Still having same issues. I've been playing this game for years. (Sadly lost an account or two) but still loving it even with restarting. I have issues with the game start. Can't get past pressing anywhere to start the game, it says "loading" or something of the sort then doesn't continue to the game or downloading screen.

It is a major to figure out how the flick notes work. I've played a fair number of rhythm games that flick notes really shouldn't even be a problem, yet the struggle to get the flick notes to register is close to outright conspiracy theory levels of thought. If it weren't for this struggle, I wouldn't have a problem. Yet because of it, my enjoyment of this really good game has been severely degraded. It's like trying to go out for a refreshing morning jog, but you've got Legos in your shoes.

I'm obsessed with this game. It's my first rhythm game so it's def a big learning curve but I think the difficulty levels are fair. The music and amount of songs and variety are amazing + so many covers of songs I know. It's just so fun and cute. I just wish some of the bugs were fixed like the Live mission loading screen. Also I wish you could favorite songs right AFTER you play them.

I've been playing on and off for 3 years. This update has made the game unplayable. The game itself is fun, interrupted by constant issues. I can't see my gacha results because the game crashes. The menu buttons are often unresponsive until I restart the game. It can take me 30 minutes to an hour to get to play one song. Random text is in Japanese. This is not a hardware issue; it was not a problem before, and it is just this game. I can't reccomend anyone play this game in the state it's in.

The game definitely has had its fair share of issues over the years. Luckily, it currently works fine with me now (samsung s21), but it seems like many people are still having lots of issues (-1 star). Lack of better clear rewards for higher difficulties, overpriced gacha, and occational fps lag (-1 star). Gameplay wise, it's overall pretty fun. The mechanics are pretty simple, and the maps are well designed. If the devs can just iron out QoL and fps stability issues, this game is 5 stars.

timing issues with the songs, I keep tapping, but it doesn't respond. I play pjsk but recently lost my acc (I had around a year progress, I was unbelievably upset.) So, I tried this game. Honestly thinking about restarting on pjsk, even though I really don't want to. Anyways, the card design is really cute, though the game play needs serious attention.

Very good game! I've been playing for about 4-5 years, and it doesn't fail to show off! My only complaint however is that there is a bug. When you go to (usually) costumes, it sometimes freezes the screen and has that display unless you close the app and go back in. If that bug was fixed, I'd rate it 5 stars!

as someone who's new to rhythm games, I do like it. however, I wish there was a way to go live without having a heart limit. I was looking for a way to either change the amount or disable it but there are no way to from what I know of. I can adjust the speed but sometimes it says I missed before it even crosses the line so it can be a hit or miss. since I'm new to this type of game, having no "lives" would be more relaxing
