BallZ DX Switch Review

Before I begin the formal review of BallZ DX, I’d like to direct your attention to an Asmongold video about 7/10 game reviews I watched. The video is an hour long and I want to talk about a small section of it where he mentions that big game reviewers don’t review most games. This is true, AAA game reviewers ignore most video games, they simply don’t get reviewed for whatever reason. A lot of them are crap, or they don’t have the media connections, or the marketing budgets to get noticed. I review those games, and to be honest, most of them don’t do well clicks wise. This is because nobody is looking for them. But I am here to provide a service, so I do it. And so Ballz DX will get a formal review, even if its from known asset-flipper Max Interactive Studio(and this is an asset-flip)!

BallZ DX is an upgraded version of BallZ, which is a block-breaker game that exists online and elsewhere on the Switch(flipped by the same publisher). You shoot balls from the base line to break blocks. The blocks are infinite and keep dropping. A number on each ball shows you how many hits are needed to break it. If you hit a yellow ball, its added to your ball count. You can only lose when the blocks drop to the base line. BallZ DX takes the formula and jazzes it up a little. There is a score board, and coins and crystals you can collect to unlock new balls. There’s a nifty feature where you can call your balls in with the down button. The music is pretty good, though its only two tunes(I think). I wish there were more tunes. And that’s Ballz DX in a nutshell.

The thing about games like BallZ DX is that there isn’t a particular lot to say about them. They’re simple, they exist and that’s that. But they still deserve to be reviewed, even the crap ones. And that’s why I exist in the shadows, to review the unreviewed! And I will continue to do it. As for BallZ DX, it gets a Recommended with a seven back-end score. It does what it does, and does it well, even if it isn’t flashy and is an asset-flip.

Overall: BallZ DX will win no awards, and hardly anyone knows it exists, but it will give you a decent time for five dollars, and that’s what matters.

Verdict: Recommended
