Minor issues fixed and QoL improved
Birdie Crush is essentially the 'Everybody's Golf' of the mobile world, but with a heavy dose of anime charm. The magical elements—like hitting through black holes or using wind-controlling spells—transform golf from a slow sport into a vibrant arcade experience. The 'Perfect Shot' timing meter is standard for the genre, but it feels fair and responsive here.
The character designs are adorable, and the Delion Bridge academy setting gives the game a fun 'school life' vibe. However, be prepared for some aggressive 'gacha' mechanics when it comes to the best equipment and costumes. If you can look past the monetization, the core gameplay is delightful and the 1v1 PvP matches are quick and engaging.
Stunning anime-style 3D graphics
Auto-play options for casual sessions
Deep character customization and equipment crafting
Live global tournaments and friendly matches
Look for skill boxes on the fairway! Landing near them grants abilities like 'Wormhole' or 'Tornado,' which can skip entire hazards and land you directly on the green.
Face off against a live opponent. You take turns in real-time, making it a true test of skill and strategy under pressure.
Yes, there is a story mode where you can follow the students' lives at the academy and practice your skills.
I pre-ordered this game as a fan of Eunha, who sings the soundtrack song. I didn’t think I would play it. I don’t play many games and haven’t been interested in golf games for a long time. But I’m hooked! I play this daily. Play is fast and fun. Controls are good. The worldwide interaction is fun and well matched, and the “versus” events against each in-person player are short and sweet. I never feel overwhelmed by getting in a long match with someone far superior, as has happened in other online games. The various solo play options are great and are where I spend most of my time. I can’t explain it, I just really like it. While still being stuck at home, this game has made recent weekends more bearable as something to pass the time and have some fun. Oh, and the soundtrack that plays in the main lobby screen? Perfect. Eunha delivers a great song. I expected nothing less.
I really enjoyed playing this game, but I got frustrated and quit due to the gotcha mechanics. I put in so much work, and even some money, yet never got the costume I wanted. Even when it said “Choose a characters costume” it actually meant, choose a character and we’ll give you a random one. Then when I finally got a legendary costume it was either for the wrong person, or it was the SAME legendary costume I got before. So you mix all the legendary costumes you don’t care for to get one that you still don’t care for. It was a lot of work to build up the characters and to draw for costumes on a daily basis. I got all the high points for the events and everything. But in the end, I just wasted my time and money. Fun game, but if you want the nice costumes you either have to be extremely lucky, have tons of hours to grind, or pay lots of money. There need to be a function of “Get this amount and choose a legendary costume of your choice.” That would have kept me coming back because at least there would be an option I could work for.
I’ve only been playing for a short while but so far I’m enjoying Birdie Crush for what it is: an anime-style gacha golf game. If none of that sounds remotely appealing to you - any of it in any way - then you probably won’t like this game…at all. Alas, if you know what you’re getting yourself into then this is a polished, fun, light-hearted, anime dress-up simulator with a golf side game that’s sure to make you smile. It’s a silly title with lots of modes, currencies, costumes, characters, equipment, and IAPs. If any of this sounds fun / tolerable to you then perhaps you ought to give it a go. Note: What’s keeping this game from being a 5-star experience (so far) is the unstable server. I’d say at least 40-50% of my attempts to login to the game are met with server failure codes, and judging by the Discord this has been an ongoing community experience for a while. In my personal opinion a stable server should be a Dev priority but that doesn’t appear to be the case here.
I play a couple golf games and this one is the best. You don’t have to pay anything to play, it gives you quite a few coins and gems for free (I did by the birdie pass but it doesn’t cost a lot compared to other games) The only thing I have a problem with is I can’t find chat. There is a board to post on in my club menu but no one uses it. Chat popped up once with someone saying hi so I know there is chat but I don’t know where to find it but that’s a minor issue. Anyway, definitely try this game. I read a few other reviews where people complained about the servers. It does take like 10 seconds to load but beside that I’ve had no issues. So get out there and play! See you on the course.
This is an amazing gacha - the golf mechanics are very solid (reminds me of the old hot shots series) and the power ups are interesting without being overwhelming. The graphics are insanely sharp and easy on the eyes. There are a variety of modes which means there is always something interesting to do. In-app purchases feel like a good value and so far don’t seem necessary unless you want to try to top the global leaderboard. There are some auto-features but this game mostly seems to require active play. The problem is that even now (feb 20) a couple weeks into the global launch, the servers are still constantly overwhelmed and it is impossible to maintain a stable connection long enough to complete more than a couple of holes at a time. Even temporary disconnects cause the app to reset to the main menu and the re-join feature fails most of the time, forcing a hard reset and counted as a loss. A shame because this is currently my favorite gacha.
I normally don’t write reviews often but Birdie crush is way over deserving the game is neat numerous activities to choose from and you aren’t overwhelmed as a new player. Yes there is a slight grind to this game but I wouldn’t say over the top I got my first Caddie/Pet up to three stars in less than two days! I love how we can easily choose from competitive to casual you aren’t obligated to choose one it’s your choice which I enjoy! Looking for a relaxing yet competitive game of your choice? Birdie Crush is the one to choose I wasn’t that interested in Golf until I started playing this wonder of a game!
…and that was like what, years ago? Feels that way. I remember playing Martina and having a punk schoolgirl outfit and an electric guitar lol. But that was beta, so of course my account has nothing of the sort. You guys didn’t even award me with some kind of “bonus for being a beta player”… or maybe y’all did and I wasn’t aware since I never got a notification that this game came back from the grave. Anyways, I do enjoy the game for the quirky golfing, but I personally don’t know how long I will stick around due to all of these RNG factors running rampantly. I guess the whales will have a field day with that. I guess we’ll see how this game will finally turn out, but in the meantime I’ll just sit back and just leisurely golf. No need to try hard.
This game is well made and the Graphics are nice. This game came out yesterday and it’s really fun to play and there’s many area to unlock and 4 characters to choose from. There’s also competitions and events for you to do if you ever get bored. I like how this game included different options whenever you want to try to be the best or you want to take it chill and not really try to win. There’s also a Gacha in this game where you can try to unlock accessories and outfits for your characters to make them look nice you can either use the gems that you can get from playing games and completing achievements and coins. I hope they’ll add more characters later on but I would definitely recommend playing this.
