Yes, the Freestyle mode alone easily makes DropMix potentially worth a purchase, if only to experiment with such a massive amount of tunes. And by “theoretically,” I of course mean “that is exactly what I ended up doing:” So theoretically, you can mash up the likes of “Pony,” “Down With the Sickness,” “Call Me Maybe,” “Bust a Move” and the Doctor Who theme into your own twisted vision of an earworm. Using either the four included base sets that come along with the board or one of the pre-packaged sets or packs, the game encourages you to team up with friends to create some impressive beats through its multiplayer games.īut let’s be honest here: while DropMix is also a party game with competitive modes that are best experienced with friends, its main draw is oh so very clearly the Freestyle mode, where you can construct your own compositions and mixes simply by placing your favorite cards on the board, which you can do with whatever combination of songs, artists and genres you see fit.
You have yellow cards for vocals, red cards for main instruments, blue cards for drums, and green cards for backing instruments, along with Wild Cards that can cover all four. The setup for DropMix simply involves using the game’s board as a play area to place down cards in one of five spaces (with your mobile device set down on it and running the app, connected via Bluetooth), with each card acting as part of a particular song. Now, I admit to not having been a huge fan of the integration between toys and games in recent years (Skylanders, Amiibo, etc), if only because they felt like gimmicks overshadowing the actual games, but I will say that after hours of play, I was taken by DropMix (which is another reason we were late: I was too addicted playing it to write a quick review, which you can take as a good sign).
Well, we may be a bit late to the party on this one, since we didn’t expect things to fully take off with this game and didn’t prepare for any shipping hassle with a huge piece of plastic, but with Series 3 of the Discover Packs now having been recently released, there’s probably no better time to check out DropMix, the collectible card game/rhythm game hybrid from Harmonix and Hasbro that uses your mobile device to play.
