Detailed Review

Rhythm Hive represents HYBE's official entry into the mobile rhythm game market, positioning itself as a comprehensive platform for fans of multiple K-pop groups under the HYBE umbrella. The application serves as both a rhythm game and collectible card platform, featuring official music from eight prominent groups including BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, ENHYPEN, SEVENTEEN, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans, BOYNEXTDOOR, and ILLIT. The core gameplay mechanics involve tapping, sliding, and holding notes in sync with musical rhythms across multiple difficulty levels. Players can access both full-length tracks and shortened versions, including special unit and solo songs not typically available in other rhythm games. The card collection system allows users to acquire and upgrade artist cards that enhance gameplay performance and unlock visual customization options. Recent additions include newer tracks such as 'Take Two', 'Running Wild', and 'LOVE, MONEY, FAME (feat. DJ Khaled)' alongside established hits. The user interface employs a clean, visually appealing design with intuitive navigation between different game modes and group-specific sections. Performance remains stable even under limited network conditions, as noted by multiple users. Real-world usage patterns show players engaging daily with both the rhythm gameplay and card collection aspects, though some report repetitive card acquisition experiences. The absence of advertisements creates an uninterrupted gaming experience. User feedback trends indicate high satisfaction with the game's core functionality and group representation. Marina🎀🎀 (August 4, 2025) expressed frustration with card distribution, noting repeated acquisition of duplicate album cards rather than NewJeans theme cards. Multiple users including ban_handed (August 5, 2025) and engene4lifee (August 4, 2025) have requested expansion to include additional groups like TWS and &TEAM, while zoliac (August 3, 2025) specifically mentioned wanting recently released albums like 'desire:unleashed' and 'YOI' from ENHYPEN. The application demonstrates significant strengths in official music licensing and stable performance, though limitations appear in card distribution algorithms and music library currency. The game excels as an official HYBE platform but faces expectations for broader group representation and more frequent song updates. Ideal use cases include daily engagement for existing HYBE group fans seeking authentic rhythm game experiences with official content, though users seeking broader K-pop representation may find the group selection limited.

I loooove this game sooo much but if I try to get any cards it's always the boy bands ESPECIALLY Bts and Enhyphen, but there is the songs too. There are so many songs that could be added as new cause in the latest update you added song from years ago! So I really do love this game but could you add more songs?? Thank you!

Love rhythm hive been playing for a year and seeing that it still gets updates is great! But I have a request and a question. What is up with the lack of new jeans song updates despite them having 3 new songs? Of course there is a whole ongoing issue with ador and them but despite all that I still believe adding those songs would bring in a lot of traffic to the game in it of itself still It would be nice to see new NEWJEANS songs in the studio! Hopefully this comes to fruition despite the controversy Great game but 1 request.. Love rhythm hive been playing for a year and seeing that it still gets updates is great!

This is my favorite game of all time :) Its very relaxing and fun while I get to listen to my favorite Kpop songs! Theres lots of elements to the game which can be confusing at first but slowly will understand.(I skipped the instructions in the beginning😭 is there a way to rewatch it😭😭😭) One thing though, it takes up lots of storage but worth it. In the end, I would totally recommend the game!!!!!!! AMAZING This is my favorite game of all time :) Its very relaxing and fun while I get to listen to my favorite Kpop songs!
