Dance Dance Revolution Dance Wars is a Dance Dance Revolution game for iOS devices, the fourth in a series of DDR games for iOS. The successor to Dance Dance Revolution S+, it was released on February 14, 2013, as a free-to-play game.
Development[]
Konami started development on DanceDanceRevolution Dance Wars, then codenamed DanceDanceRevolution GREE and simply titled DanceDanceRevolution, in 2011. It was originally slated for a 2012 release date on Android and Windows Phone devices, but it was delayed to 2013. On December 2012, the full name of the game, DanceDanceRevolution Dance Wars, was revealed and the game was later released on February 14, 2013 (although the app itself was already in the iOS app store the night prior to February 14). On July 2, 2013, it was announced that service for Dance Wars will end on August 31, 2013, and is no longer available for download.
New Features/Changes[]
- Dance Crew. Up to 10 members can be in a crew. The limit increases as they buy the Charisma upgrade.
- Missions.
- DDR Shop - a shop that allows the player to buy items with DDR Coins, which can be purchased with real money. Song packs cost 220 DDR Coins.
- Stamina. This is basically a virtual representation of energy used in Versus battles and Missions. Can be regained by eating food or buying items that increase the maximum stamina.
- Accessories for the characters. DanceDanceRevolution Dance Wars is the first non-arcade DDR game as well as the first installment outside of Japan to have accessories for characters.
- DanceDanceRevolution Dance Wars is the first DDR game to make use of the GREE Platform. As such, a GREE account and a stable Wi-Fi or 3G online connection are required in order to play the game.
- Unlike the past DDR iOS games, DDR Dance Wars does not have the ability to change gameplay options, such as speed, turn modifiers, etc. However, they may be added on a later update.
- Due to the game's new engine, many songs above 170 BPM become harder to time, especially CG Project and MAX 300. Also, some songs display the wrong BPMs (e.g. SEDUCTION's BPM is displayed as 95-189). However, this has since been fixed in update 1.0.2.
- Due to the game's new engine also, downloaded content from DDR S+ cannot be transferred over to DDR Dance Wars.
