D4DJ Groovy Mix in IOS

DJ X Anime Rhythm Game

Our Site Score

92/100

D4DJ Groovy Mix is easily one of the most refreshing entries in the mobile rhythm genre. While most competitors stick to a simple lane-based tapping system, Groovy Mix introduces a DJ-centric layout featuring sliders and turn-table discs that require you to flick and hold in ways that feel tactile and rhythmic. It’s not just about hitting notes; it’s about feeling like you're actually mixing a track. The inclusion of 'Technical Scoring' is a godsend for purists—it allows you to compete based on your actual skill rather than just how high-level your gacha cards are.

The music library is staggering. You get a mix of high-energy original EDM tracks, anime covers, and surprising collaborations from franchises like Touhou and other rhythm games like WACCA. The Live2D character models are incredibly expressive, and the stories are fully voiced, adding a level of polish that justifies the download size. Whether you're a casual fan of the anime or a hardcore rhythm gamer looking for a high skill ceiling, this is a must-play.

Dinsun Review

The rhythm gameplay here is actually quite good—the 'sliding' and 'scratching' mechanics feel appropriate for the DJ theme and offer a legitimate challenge. However, the game is bloated. There are too many menus, too many currencies, and too much focus on the 'gacha' characters rather than the actual music. If you aren't an anime fan, the story is unbearable. It’s the usual 'high school girls following their dreams' nonsense that I’ve seen a thousand times. If you can ignore all the fluff and just play the songs, there's a decent game here, but it's hard to separate the art from the predatory business model.
