Very Addicting Game!
Wed Jul 26 2023 Originaldiode

I found out about this game from an EMC Productions video, and I thought I’d try it out. I never thought a game like this would be so fun to me, especially the attention to detail about drum corps. Even the corps that won at championships that year, in the game, was accurate too! One thing I’d like to request is to make the game play for longer, or play for as long as you want. You start from the 2000 season and end at the 2019 season. This is fine, but I wish I could play more seasons, like not going into the future but the option to start your corps more in the past. For example, you can have the option to start at the beginning of DCI in 1972, or pick your own year to start from, like 1982 or 1995 or whatever. It would also be great to update this game to make it include the 2021 season, 2022 season, and possibly the 2023 season (depending on when this game is updated). Overall a great game, I just wish more could be added to it!

It’s the small things
Sat Jun 27 2020 Drum Corps Man

Wow at first when I saw the price I was a little bit worried. But it was definitely worth it. This game was really fun to play, I mean I accidentally played this for four hours without noticing the time. Good job to the creators for making a fun and exciting game. However, as I stated in the title there was a few small things. The first being when I got tired of staring at my phone screen. I wanted to get a bigger screen so I downloaded the game on my iPad. Unfortunately the game doesn’t fit on the iPad screen and I couldn’t press a lot of the buttons. The second being the max level. I understand the use of the max level because the game has a season limitation on it, which leads me into my final complaint which is we should be able to go as long as we want and win as many championships as we want. Then when we are done we can restart the game ourselves. Finally I had a few other ideas for this game and these include 1. Being able to buy and run multiple other drum corps 2. As stated earlier more seasons 3. Also stated earlier get rid of the max level 4. Make the game playable on the iPad 5. I’m sure this will take a lot of time but make a 5 second mini show to play at the championship I am sure that I will come up with others in the future. But for now those cover it. Thanks for reading my review!

Just a few things
Fri Jun 19 2020 Funky ewok

This game is incredible, just beat it today, but I also have a few suggestions: The violin crescendo thing when revealing scores only lines up in prelims, due to pauses in the animation for more tension. One cool feature to implement would be to allow the player to create their own logo, and to create uniforms that also need upkeep in addition to props. When I beat the game, the stats didn’t line up with what happened. It only said that my corps existed for one year, and that I had only won once, however I had won about 5/6 times. The newspapers could have side columns with joke titles. I could keep going, but I’ll end it with this: perhaps more options could be given during show design, and different choice based events (like during the tour period) could occur in an expanded section based on spring training. Sorry for making this really wordy! It’s obvious and admirable how much care and talent went into putting this together! 😀

CanNOT wait to see where this goes

This game is already sick. And if nothing else was ever done with it, I’d probably still make a full-through on a weekly basis. It’s got plenty of replay value. I just can’t wait to see where it goes. Maybe there will be a dynasty mode where you begin at the founding of DCI as one of the founding corps and literally play 60 years, trying to recreate the success of that corps or do even better! Basic color scheme customization and uniform presets like what kind of hat will your corps wear? Jacket designs, etc. Maybe there will be a little bit-performance of 2-3 drill sets when your corps takes the field. Just so many possibilities. I’m here for all of them. And I’m happy to pay $.99 a pop or whatever for cosmetic additions like I’ve described. This is a really cool game and has a lot to give. Let’s support the designer as much as possible and help make this game the best it can be.

Great game but I had a problem
Fri Jun 26 2020 #Nuttella

I thought this was amazing. It was very fun and entertained me. Unfortunatley, I had one problem with the game. I am playing on an Ipad. When I played the game, the edges of the game were cut off. I could not see part of the screen. This made it difficult for me to upgrade and improve. After our first performance, a screen showed up, showing the performance of my drum corps and the ticks. I could not see any exit or close button. So, I was stuck on that screen. I could not continue to play. This game is great, but I wish screen wasnt cut off.

Great Game!

Overall, loved the idea & the overall gameplay. Some critiques: 1. Get rid of max level, or create a max level that’s MUCH higher 2. Add some more scenarios for the “Special Events” & the problems you're required to solve. The ones already in there are great! 3. Maybe make a way to hire certain techs & captains. I think making it something like how you hire people for heists in GTA 5 would make it better & also allow for some character development if you were to go that route 4. I would also like to see some way for you to design your own show. Not exactly how you could do that but I think adding elements to give the player more control over the performances would be a nice touch Like I said earlier, it’s already a great game but there’s some improvements I mentioned, along with countless other reviews, that would make the game even better. Keep up the good work!

My updated thoughts (7-8-20)

I’m really hyped that the game is starting its launch off of being an amazing app (it already is, but even more amazing) and i love the team putting so much effort into it. I’m also very happy that there will be weekly updates, because games with weekly updates are the games that stay around for a long time, and i can’t wait to see where this app is heading, thank you team :)

Has a lot of potential just a lot some bugs
Wed Jul 22 2020 Kyloren1234

This game is really fun and has huge potential, it does has a bugs like I won a championship but the plaque said the year later like if i won 2016 it would i win 2017 so then it would be in a loop because u can never finish the case since all the space is already taken up when u get too 2018 champs. but overall loving the idea and could be big!
