BeJJ: Jiu-Jitsu Game 4+

As of now, I don’t know the state of whoever is working on this game. I don’t know if it’s a team or one man, or if you all have other jobs and this is part time. Either way you’ve done a really nice job making Jiu Jitsu into a fun game. Opening crates is always tedious, but I have respect that you didn’t push it and the crates don’t feel like intrusions. The animations are simple but interesting, I think the struggle of submissions could be portrayed a little better but it’s still quite good. I like the way the card game is done with the simple three base stats, it’s easy to understand and it works well with the cards. I love how you can play to your strengths and win even when your opponent may be stronger. The one problem I think I currently have is balancing of those three, strength seems overpowered, someone with high strength but low anything else just seems to manhandle their opponents until they win by points. Sometimes against those opponents you can get a lucky submission, but other than that it’s like you have no power unless you get the first takedown. Aside from that, this game is really enjoyable if not a little frustrating sometimes, and I believe that you guys or girls can make it great. I believe in y’all, this game is good and I hope it only gets better. You keep working hard no matter your situation, I’m sure it’ll pay off!

Thank you very much for the feedback and sorry for the late reply! Everything was well noted :). This gives us more strength to keep on the hard work. It is true that the Strength attribute can be favorable in really early stages of the game because of the cards options. Once we add more cards into the game, this should become more balanced. Oss!

I would just like to say, this is the most realistic martial arts game I found, and this game is good enough, I’m leaving this review which is very rare. I love the belt systems and card systems where you have to calculate how you use your moves. However, some things I would personally like added is a section where you as a player can spar with AI of all belt levels (ex. 2 strips blue belt vs white belt or 1st degree black belt vs 3 stripe purple belt), just to make the game more realistic if possible while not using that method to XP farm, for example, put that feature in the quick match area (that’s if it is not added). There can also be some bug fixes as well as I sometimes get booted from a match. Other than that, awesome game and keep up the good work guys. :)

Thank you very much for your comment! This makes us happy and motivated :). It is actually possible to fight against Friends independently of their levels. For instance, you you as a blue belt can challenge a friend black belt, but you need to have that person as your friend in the game and both of you need to be online for that. In any case, your feedback was taken into account and we will se what we can do, thinking of the Solo Training mode :). We will have another look into those bugs and optimization again soon. Oss!

I never thought that Brazilian jujitsu would make a good video game until I saw this one. Holding a decent belt in jujitsu myself, I thought that the sport that I love could never be captured in a video game because of the infinite variables in each match. While this game doesn’t cover everything (because it’s a game), it is clearly addictive for people who fight, or non-fighters alike. It’s in it’s beta stage currently, but I’m sure it’s going to finish out to be an even better system. The game crashes quite a bit right now, but reloads quickly. Even with that annoyance, I still can’t wait to play every match. Thank you for a well thought-out version of the lifestyle I treasure so much. Please think of some more ways for players to advance more quickly in their skills, add new avatars, and all of the other goodies we see in other games. Last thing, I love that there are no weight classes that prohibit a “light” player from competing against a heavy player, only changes on how natural attributes are distributed in your initial character. Great idea.

Hi Chris! Thank you very much for the feedback and sorry for the late reply. This gives us strength to keep on the hard work. We will definitely add more ways to speed up progress at some point, but the main idea is to also give importance to mid levels events/championships. So, if we facilitate too much progression to the black belt for instance, then the other belts events wouldn't have many players participating. By the way, we have updated with a newer and stable version. Oss!
