One of the best gacha rhythm games
Wed Mar 12 2025 BeatlesPkmnFanReviewing from the perspective of somebody who plays more for the rhythm aspect than the gacha or story. D4DJ stands out among the myriad of other mobile gacha rhythm games to me. The gameplay is more interesting with the disc and slider note types. And unlike any other gacha rhythm game to my knowledge, it offers technical scoring, in addition to the typical card based scoring. Very great feature for people like me who are more interested in the rhythm gameplay and don’t necessarily care about the cards.
The music selection also feels more tied to the overall rhythm gameplay scene than other gacha rhythm games. In addition to the many original tracks by the game’s original groups, there’s also some Touhou music, collaborations with other rhythm games (WACCA, Rhythm Doctor, maimai). The Japanese server even has a cover of conflict, though it’s absent here. The overall EDM focus of the game’s original music also makes it more similar to other rhythm games, a game genre that overall tends to have a strong focus on electronic music genres.
TL;DR - D4DJ is a strong recommendation for rhythm gamers who want more in-depth gameplay than other gacha games tend to offer, and can more easily ignore the gacha aspect of the game due to the addition of technical scoring.
it’s ok, but your better off just playing bang dream
Sun Feb 13 2022 ari-ashI typically don’t write reviews, but I have some thoughts I’d like to share.
the graphics are very meh for once, none of the cards are particularly jawdropping, + most of the characters seem to have as much personality as a stale piece of bread. The overall layout of the game is honestly very painful to look at. I understand they were trying to go for a certain theme, but I feel like it doesn’t really work well, and to be blunt, is ugly. It’s just not appealing to the eye. I also feel as if the game is overall very overwhelming, I feel like it has a bit too many features, and I was constantly getting popups when I was just simply just trying to play the live show. On that note as well, the option to customize ur own club is cool and all, but I feel like it’s very lackluster and honestly not really necessary. The songs are also in my opinion, kinda bad.. some of them are really great! but the covers are very meh in particular and I feel as if most covers literally sound like they were made in garage band, I also had a lot of trouble with the live shows in particular, I feel with the way the live shows are designed, it makes it overall very difficult to play especially when your a thumb player, this coming from someone who can fc 27 songs on bang dream… I can however appreciate the fact that they made it to where even if you get a good, it counts towards ur combo.

Fri Dec 03 2021 ChellapilaiTLDR; as a comparison to bang dream, this game is amazing. it’s like the same game with slight different mechanics and a whole new set of characters. enjoyable, challenging, and most importantly, fun!
honestly, this game is just REALLY GREAT. i came to this game as a pretty decent bang dream player, expecting the exact same mechanics and similar features. however, my expectations were completely blown. now, i certainly didn’t come to this game with no prior knowledge as i did watch the anime, and ever since i finished it, i’ve been waiting for the game to come to en servers. the characters are all just AMAZING (muni is obviously the best character), and i love being able to collect them in the gacha. just like bang dream. and that’s also one thing i like. it’s similar to bang dream, but it’s not a clone. there are so many games that just have the same exact mechanics as bang dream with a little tweaking here and there, but d4dj is anything but! there are so many aspects of this game that just make it slightly more hard. in other words, slightly more enjoyable. overall, this game gives off the same feeling and satisfaction as bang dream, whilst being more challenging and having a different overall theme.
Love it!
Fri Jun 10 2022 KawaiiUniI wanna start off by saying, wow! This game is different from other rhythm games because not only do u have to click all the notes at the right time but u also do things that makes it like real DJ! But I’m wondering, one of the songs is Moonlight Densetsu, from Sailor Moon so that’s interesting. I also think that it’s a little too hard. There are so many things u need to do and I know we can change that to focus on just one thing but I preferred to do it all! That’s all really cool game!😄
Ok I’m back and I wanna ask why not all of the LyriLily members have magical DJ outfits. I love LyriLily and I love magical girls so how come only Miiko has one? I’d love to dress each of the members in magical DJ outfits! My DJ unit is entirely made up of LyriLily members and I want to dress them in magical DJ outfits. I definitely would want Miyu in a pink outfit since I love the color pink and Miyu’s hair is pink! Thank you!
One more thing! I want there to be a reward for getting all the songs in one DJ unit. I got all the songs in LyriLily since it’s my fave and I was hoping for a reward. Like a title saying LyriLiliy Songs or something. Or a LyriLily things to put in my club. Anything that has to do with LyriLily! Bye thank u I hope u read all of my recommendations!
Super fun and addicting.
Wed Oct 06 2021 X_theMeggyI've recently gotten into Rhythm games near late 2020. I played games such as StepMania, ddr, etc. I moved on to virtual rhythm games to broaden my horizons to music. I was looking for a good rhythm game for my phone to play during my free time. There were so many terrible rhythm games on the app store that just weren't worth downloading. I then stubble across D4DJ. I saw the game trailer and saw many reviews. I gave the game a chance and this game was beyond my expectations. So many songs to choose from, many characters, and so on. I enjoyed watching each unit's story and understanding each character's personality, characteristics, things they like and hate. The charting for a lot of the songs are really fun on certain difficulties as well. In the end, this game will always hold a special place in my heart. This game made me appreciate different types of music, and all of these songs on this game are a complete banger. If I could rate this 6 stars, I would.
Thank you Bushiroad for expanding my horizons to new types of music, fun, and so on!
Amazing but I’m confused about something
Fri Sep 23 2022 JeanWindhamOkay so like this is one of the best rhythm game I have ever downloaded I absolutely live it! It’s addicting and I’m down. The design is amazing I love the characters and overall it’s an amazing game! But there is one problem, I will buy songs from the shop but not be able to find them in the shows. For example: MeMe by Milgram, The bad Apple song you have, and harrow. Those are 3 of many but I don’t know if I’m just stupid or don’t know how to work things but I’m not able to play them. Other than that amazing game. I love the mechanics and it’s so cool to look at! Thanks you I hope I get a response.
Also one more thing: when there is a lot of the pink slider thing’s and I move it really fast it won’t move and glitch and I’ll lose my combo this just came up but I don’t know. I don’t lag at all.
Edit: I still cannot okay base songs. I got D4DJ on my phone and I can play them there but not on my iPad (I’m using my iPad right now) It’s really getting annoying since this event or whatever that’s on right now has a “play a base song once” as one of the requests and I just can’t. So I won’t be able to get the reward. Please fix this
Pretty good! Really like RONDO.
Fri Feb 25 2022 alxueaFor some reason, it’s usually pretty hard for me to get attached to characters in idol/rhythm games like these. But with D4DJ I actually found it quite easy to warm up to the characters! I very much enjoyed reading through RONDO’s stories, and recently started looking more into Lyrical Lily! Was a little shocked by how much I liked them, too...found myself chuckling while reading through their story(ies).
I will say that the actual gameplay isn’t quite what I’m used to - which is both for better and for worse! I do understand that some of the elements that make it different are meant to do that exact thing: make it more unique, but the pink line really does bother me sometimes...actually moving it is fine; having to ignore it sometimes is more the issue. Hopefully as I practice more I’ll get better with this!! Not the games fault, just my personal taste!
Extra note: I really like the little games they pair with events like bingo and slots machines (that you get to do just by getting coins from playing through songs by the way - not a microtransaction thing) they’re fun and refreshing!!
Its amazing but can there be an update where you can save progress
Sun Jul 17 2022 jafdbjz BFIve had this game for months and have had absolutely no regret in installing it. But, something that bothers me is the fact that we can’t save our progress or get it back after uninstalling and reinstalling the game. There are times when i have to uninstall a few apps to get some other apps (which i will only use for a few minutes) due to the lack of space on my phone, so sometimes I have to uninstall this game. Sadly, when I reinstall it, all of my progress is gone. Ive even tried putting in the password but thats used for when I need to transfer data to a new iOS. I don’t want to uninstall this game anymore in fear of losing all of my progress and cards that ive spent months obtaining. Please add an update where we are able to save our progress even after uninstalling and reinstalling the game or even if we just create a password to input somewhere in the game to regain our progress after uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Other than that, this game is so fun and addicting and I absolutely love it!
Blew my expectations away
Tue Nov 30 2021 lol polish soI personally have a bias against most modern day mobile games. Their style gets repetitive and most of the time, essential stuff that makes the game fun is behind a paywall, top that with bundles of advertisements and user tracking, I generally didn’t think my experience with this game was gonna be good. Once I got into it however, I kid you not, this is one of the best free to play mobile games I have ever played. My expectations for this game were honestly blown away. The storylines are super interesting and the gameplay is super fun and enjoyable! Plus, stuff that’s actually important to the game isn’t behind a paywall! Combine that with my love for rhythm based games in general, this game is a blast for me. This is what mobile games should be like. Thank you guys for all the heart and soul you poured into this game. I love it. And this is coming from someone who usually has a bias against modern day mobile games, which says a lot! :)
Great game and very fun. But it has a account linkage issue!
Thu Jun 12 2025 Tamamo-no-MaeI've played a lot of rhythm games over the years and this one I enjoy more than most. The music, art style, design are all great. I would have given this a 5, but there is a major issue that is plaguing this game.
It's impossible to link your account at all through any of the options. I've tried both Apple and X account linking and both come with errors. This means that If i upgrade my iPad in the future I will lose everything that I have done with this game, including some event exclusive cards and songs that would take a long time to re-acquire since i've been playing for 2.5 years now. So i'm writing this review in the hopes that somebody will find a way to make account linkage work. Either patch or update the game to make account linkage work. I know i'm not alone in having this issue. Please make this happen, I don't want to lose all my progress when I eventually upgrade my iPad.
