To be honest, as an old guy who has been playing mobile games since the Symbian era, I am actually quite picky about music and dance games. Back then, I played the mobile game Audition on Nokia, then moved to QQ Dance, Rhythm Master, and now various music games. It's been almost 20 years. Recently, many newcomers in the forum recommended "Heart Dance". I downloaded it and tried it for a few days. I don't want to criticize it, so I would like to briefly share my views.
Let's talk about the advantages first. First of all, the picture quality. The next-generation modeling is really not a boast. Compared with the paper figures or mosaic textures in similar mobile games, the characters and scenes of Xinwu are significantly more refined, especially the light and shadow effects. Even the reflections of the beads on the skirt have been dynamically processed. In this aspect, it can compete with the PC version of Xuanwu😃. Secondly, the dance steps are restored to a very high degree, and many of the signature moves of popular Douyin songs are included, which is very familiar to young players. The social system is also relatively complete, including team formation, guilds, expression interaction, and even a home-like development module. Girls should like this kind of dress-up + social interaction.
However, if we want to make a horizontal comparison, I think Xin Wu still falls short in two areas. One is the accuracy of the operation feedback. Compared with veteran music games like Rhythm Master, the tolerance of the judgment range is higher. Although it is easy to get started, it is a bit unsatisfactory for players who pursue hardcore scores. The other is that the krypton gold guidance is a bit obvious to be honest. Although it is a free game, many special effects costumes and mounts need to be obtained by drawing cards or recharging money. The growth curve of the zero krypton party will be much slower. I had a similar problem when I played Audition back then, but at least it gave free players a sense of accomplishment through skill. In this regard, Heart Dance's reward mechanism for the core gameplay could be more fair.
Overall, if you are a new player in the music and dance genre, or like to socialize and have fun dressing up, Heart Dance is a good choice right now. If you are like me and are a stubborn person who pursues the ultimate operation, you can use it as an entertainment hacking tool. Just don't take the rankings too seriously. Times have changed, and the rhythm of the game has also changed. I miss the days of playing "Electronic Queen" all night long on Saipan, but it is always a good thing that newcomers are willing to join in the game😊.
