Bushiroad

Bushiroad at a Glance

Bushiroad operates as a Japanese entertainment firm founded in 2007 that has released 17 games on PlayPile since 2012. The company appears more often as a publisher than a developer with 17 publishing credits compared to six development roles. Their catalog spans from the early 2010s through late 2023 showing fairly consistent output across two decades with nine titles in the 2010s and eight in the 2020s. Mobile platforms dominate their strategy as they have released games on Android and iOS eleven times each while maintaining a much smaller presence on PC with four entries and Nintendo Switch with three. Their genre focus leans heavily toward Music and Role-playing games which both account for five titles each. Adventure and Arcade games follow with four releases apiece. The company also dabbles in Shooter, Visual Novel, Simulator, Platform, Fighting, and Card & Board Game genres though these make up only one or two titles each. This variety reflects their broader business as a card game manufacturer known for products like Cardfight!! Vanguard and Future Card Buddyfight. Their mobile applications often tie into these physical card games or other media properties they manage. Quality trends among their rated titles show a generally steady but unexceptional performance. Three of their four rated entries fall into the good category between 60 and 79 points with none reaching the great tier above 80. Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Burst Forth!! Choro-gon Breath holds the highest score at 78 in 2022 while Love Live! School Idol Festival from 2013 sits at 76. Elrentaros Wanderings released in late 2023 scored lower at 60.5. The average rating across all three rated titles is 71.5 which suggests their games are serviceable but rarely standout hits. Recent releases like Girl's Blossom Project: Unbelievable Real Love and Tokimeki RunRuns from 2022 continue this pattern of adapting popular anime licenses into mobile formats. The company maintains a clear focus on licensed properties rather than original IP creation. Their shift in output remains stable over time without major changes in volume or direction. Players browsing their catalog will find a steady stream of mobile-focused games that cater to fans of specific franchises rather than seeking impressive mechanics or high critical acclaim.
