Japan’s Battle Tops In Digital Form
BEYBLADE BURST app is an action game developed by Hasbro Inc. The game lets players compete in online battles with tops from the anime and toy franchise Beyblade. They can also utilize the RC functionality of Bluetooth-enabled Beyblade Burst toys.
A Shorthand History of the Japanese Battle Tops
Beyblade is a long-time running toyline since the late 90s. The stylized battle top takes its inspiration from the Kamakura period toy called “beigoma”. The interest for battle tops resurges when Takara Tomy introduced Beyblade in the market. Hasbro got their license for selling Beyblade internationally in 2002, along with the Western localization of the media series.
From the Playgrounds to Online Battle
BEYBLADE BURST retains the fundamentals of the physical Beyblade while making it very accessible anywhere. Players can create their own personalized profiles and custom Beyblade Burst tops by combining parts, as well as battle opponents in over 90 countries. They are provided with an intuitive digital top selector for convenient navigation. They can challenge each other to reach the top of the leaderboards, at the same time earn several achievements for leveling up. Winning each match rewards players with Beyblade parts. The scoreboard is filled with points earned from PvP battles. Players can either choose online Digital Battles or physical Toy Battles. Digital Battles reward the winner with Blader points in the scoreboard. Toy Battles allow players to record their battle result to the Battle League. This game features Battle League for hosting digital Beyblade leagues. Each season has a bracketed tournament format. Players can invite everyone in multi-round tournaments.
