What is BEYBLADE BURST app

Beyblade Burst takes the high energy battles that the Beyblade animated series is known for and translates them into a frenetic and action packed gaming experience on mobile devices. While the Beyblade anime may not have the popular recognition that similar anime like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-O do, it's still managed to be a substantial success, and the collect them all and customized experiences the series promotes makes it an ideal fit for most mobile devices. Beyblade Burst manages to get a lot right and create an engaging and exciting experience best enjoyed by younger players.

For those unfamiliar, Beyblade takes the collectible aspect of games like Pokemon and trading card games and adds a new twist by tying them to the real world element of spinning tops. This video game takes that notion and adapts it aptly to play to the strengths of a digital interface. Three modes make up the Beyblade Burst experience, and once you start digging in, you'll find a lot of depth available. Practice mode is practically a necessity in a game like this, since it allows you to test out the blades available to you, learn their strengths, and come up with a build that's competitive. And while that's incredibly useful in the single player Tournament mode, it becomes even more necessary in the Multiplayer mode. Since you're playing against real people, you'll need to know about the latest metas to truly stay competitive.

The systems behind Beyblade Burst can be confusing at first, but the game luckily creates a smooth learning curve. The game initial locks you out of a number of key features, but as you progress through the Tournament, you'll gain access to more customization features. The gradual unlocking of features and the collection of new blades creates a smooth transition for new players, but it may provide some frustrations for players who are already well indoctrinated into how Beyblade battles work. Many collectible battling games can easily turn into a matter of who has the better stats, but Beyblade adds a level of skill to the proceedings. Throwing your top is an acquired skill and one that can give an advantage to players who are outmatched in terms of unlocked beyblades.

Of course, the collectible element of Beyblade ties back into the real world with toys sold at retailers, and Beyblade Burst makes it easy to integrate your physical beyblades with the game itself. A bar code scanner within game lets you make digitized versions of your existing tops and play with them directly in the game. You aren't constricted to the features of the physical beyblade either. Any blade can be customized in cosmetic ways by changing the color, but you can also change their core features by adding in new abilities and attaching additional parts.

Pros:

  • A unique spin on the collectible battling genre that requires an added level of skill
  • Builds off of the lore of the Beyblade Burst animated series

Cons:

  • Progression system may be a bit slow for veteran players
  • Integration of real world items can create a frustrating pay wall
