Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game had lots of variety, though it couldve added songs from bocchi the rock but we love how simple and easy minded this game is.
This game is way better than pjsk, we can escape problems when playing this game.
Bandori is the best rhythm game out there.
Came out before PJSK guysit was an anime. Its made by bushiroad who made love live game too.
Hey! We just wanted to let you know this game is very fun! One thing that we hate is we used to play a game similar to this and it was level hard but level hard in this game,e isnt working out good for us Im good at it in Colorful Stage but its hard for us to do hard level in this game.
We like the game and all but its WAYY to similar to pjsk. Idk if its just us or.
Ok the game literally just copied the other game.
It is a lot like project sekai which is why we play it, and we love the characters.
Very good we love it just kind of hard.
This band is a Japanese rock idol group who each is preskilled in their roles(vocalist, drummer, guitarist, bassist, pianist/keytaurist). But their singer lacks the experience of playing onstage, so they have to deal with it. Btw here are the names! Vo: Aimi Tsunakata, Guit: Shoshone Minato, Bass: May Waikato, Key: Noshiho Monokatwa, and key: Min Li No (shes from Korea). Their first song is WHERE WHERE YOU? And is kinda like Afterglow, but with more of a cute style. We hope you take this into consideration Bushiroad guys.
It's basically like colorfulstage but better.
There isnt much we can say about this game that probably hasnt been said a hundred times over. It is incredibly fun with absolutely amazing voice acting in both the story and the music. The gameplay is actually smooth and enjoyable- the english version does have its issues (translation errors and some technical issues from time to time) but it has not impacted our actual rhythm game experience that much. There was one incident that we can remember where it would crash after every song, but that must have been fixed because it hasnt happened in a while and we havent seen anyone else complain. The costumes are very well designed for their respective characters, and the pricing is.: typical of this genre. Sure its not great, but its not unique enough to warrant our complaints, especially since it does not affect the actual gameplay whatsoever. Anyways, long story short, please give this game all your love and support so the devs continue updating it for years and years and years to come <3.
Bandori? More like peakdori. Been playing since EN released.
You Have To play this game tonight or else you will get banned from your game if you dont play it by tomorrow morning you will be suspended for life and your game will be gone Forever and also we love Aya Yamato she is so Cute and Beautiful and she wrote our favorite J-pop song of all time.
We like it, but it just doesnt load we dont know. Ive been waiting for some seconds and it did not continue so this is a two star review.
MyGO has been our favorite for a long time all theirs songs warm heart.
We like the game because we love rock bands.
Gorgeous game, really wish it was as active as it used to be.
Ive played all kinds of tap tap rhythm games and this one has a lot to be desired on controls.
As a PJSK player we love this so much.
BRO THIS GAME IS SO SWEET, EXCELLENT, UNSTOPPABLE.
We love this game. Our friend showed us ts and im on our grind. Was previously a pjsk player but we have seen the light. Best. Game. Ever. Ts. These girls are so bad. We love. Thank. Yew.
The gameplay is so fun, and the graphics are awesome! The voice acting is so good.
The latest event SAKURA CIRCLING PARTY is very fun. We unlocked multiple stories and got many rewards. But since theres new songs, that means limited missions. Although we cleared the new songs, we didnt get the rewards. We think you should fix this, because we cleared Non Breath Oblige and Idol, and we should be getting our coins by now.
This game is really fun and it doesnt really have that much ads and the songs are very peaceful to play. Honestly, this is the best game we ever played. :3.
Ive had this game for years and Ive loved it since but we havent been playing for a while, when we went back on, we notice some if not most of the songs are missing. Im not sure if something happened or if its our game, but we really do miss those songs. We just want an explanation.
This game is really really really really really fun.
We lost our old account that had all our best cards but honestly this game is so fun Ive been obsessed with this game for a long time.
We used to have this app on our phone until it got too old and it couldn't load, however we recently remembered it and downloaded it on our new ipad. We love so much about it, the character designs, the music, the voices, the art, and more! But over time people have started to play it less and less (obviously not your fault tho) and the multi live rooms are ALWAYS empty, we never see anyone on them anymore and on the quests panel finishing a multi live is one of the very first ones meaning we cant get past it. Im not sure if this is changeable but we really hope you can. Either way we have made so many memories on this app and we really do love playing it.
This game is super good the music is amazing, we havent put any money into this game and have multiple bands with 4-5 star girls in them as well as good costumes. We have also never watched an add in this game it has asked us a few times for free energy but we just say no. The speed of the notes and difficulty is totally up to you for us however the harder the level the faster we need the notes on hard or higher 10.6 is where we need the speed as there is so many notes the spacing of them gives you more time to think about what you are doing especially the long notes when its speed one with a long note its over if you need to move the note at all lol 5* game would highly recommend raise a suilen is the best band ever.
So Im a colorful stage player and Ive been trying to get into diffferent rhythms games. We tried D4DJ but it was just too much, this game is simple and very similar to colorful stage so we like it a lot.
Plz make it easier and clearer about transferring your data to another device. We just lost our account that Ive had for 4 years all because the instructions werent clear. Love this game but we genuinely think we wont be able to play again for a while.
Its got great controls and its one of the best rhythm games. Also to people saying its similar to pjsk Im pretty sure its because its made by the same company and besides it has great songs and irl groups too.
The game is ok, but what we dont like about it is that some of the cards sexualize the girls and it makes us uncomfortable. But we like the music. Overall its a good game.
To many characters to keep up with, fun gameplay but the cast is huge.
This game is so fun and we totally recommend it its like if project sekai was better also it has cool LESBIANS!! LETS GO LESBIANS YAYYYYY.
We played pjsk and bandori rotationally, but the en and jp server are FAR apart. Jp is on the 8th anniversary and were still on the 6th. Fix your game.
We have been playing this game for years now and we love the game! The only thing is after this new update, it has been crashing and failing to load to which it will send us back to the title again. It gets frustrating when Im trying to load into a multi-live or doing an event. Please fix this.
We would say the overall hardest is actually being able to clear a song. The notes are much smaller than Project Sekais, we even tried making the notes look like the ones we had in Pjsekai so it would be a little easier, but we were wrong :(. The game itself is amazing and the cards are very cool. We just cant figure out how to play it well.
We had an issue with our game not playing and getting an error code every time we try to start actually playing the game modes. Reached out months getting the response they would work on it but they stopped responding to us. The game is fine when you can actually play it but the support is not good.
We LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! This game so much, the characters are fleshed out and its gaha system is WAYYY nicer then sekai.
We started playing this game 4 years ago. Since then, we have tried others, like Colorful Stage, DJD4, Enstars, etc., but none of them have came close to Bang Dreams quality. The card and Live2D artwork is beautiful, and the girls characters really make you attached to them. Bang Dream is also really simple and beginner friendly, so we would highly, highly recommend this game to anyone interested in learning how to play rhythm games. There is only one bad thing we can say about Bandori: Its a gacha game. However, ignoring that and instead focusing purely on the rhythm elements doesnt hurt your experience in the slightest. And even if you do try the gacha, know that we, a F2P player, has had better luck with this one than with other games. Overall: You should play Bang Dream.
We absolutely love this game, its so well done. The graphics are amazing, the songs are straight hits, and we Ive the fact that you added background stories and music videos which just shows how determined you guys were on this project. You all really out done yourselves. We were hoping you could at some songs from the band Atarashi Gakko, preferably koi geba.
Great free game! Ive bought a few things on the game to support the creators because its so good. Huge fandom to get into, as well. If you enjoy the game we recommend joining the Reddit community for fun posts and conversations. If we could change anything about the game, Id add a way to slow down the songs in practice mode, and also reduce the real money price of Stars. But seriously a great game.
Ugly artstyle, Rui will hate the ponytail girl.
When we played this game we were OBSESSED. We played all weekend and loved the songs and the character gacha. We had fun getting characters we wanted and all that! But theres this one issue is that we bought a lot of songs from the Circle area music right? And a few days later, they deleted the music that we loved to do LIVE in.we had to buy the songs all over again. It cost a lotAnd there is a few glitches too..we know this is dumb and its a lot, but we had a lot of fun playing BanG Dream! It was fun playing and worth too. But maybe its just our device acting up or Im just not playing it more. Wich doesnt make any sense.
Characters are adorable songs sound amazing and the gameplay is very fun! ^_^.
Its unique in its own way, and no its not a rip off.
This game is so much fun you can collect characters like 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars and 2 stars you can collect 1 stars by doing the stories but it is the best rhythm game we have ever played oh and you can also get costumes with 2, 3, 4 even 5 stars. Some of the songs can be a little hard that's why there is different levels like easy normal hard expert and sometimes special. There are also 3D shows which are very cool. So please play this game you will have so much fun.
CHU2 and Masking costume room needs to be fixed. We cant even change their outfits. Keep saying error go back to the homepage. Please fix that.
