Cytus vs Hachi Hachi
Cytus
Cytus is a fun and challenging, rhythm mobile game that has a rather striking futuristic/sci-fi theme and an intriguing story about how future robots try to save the human emotions they contain from being erased by storing them in the form of music. Cytus is the place where the music will eventually be kept.In terms of gameplay, the controls are easy to learn since there are, at most, 3 types of notes, but there are multiple ways of tapping on those 3 notes. Aside from its intuitive Active Scan Line system, Cytus also features over 200 songs and 400 variations of said songs. However, don't expect to be bip boppin' to the latest hits though. The songs are mostly just music (no singing) and they are often from the dance/electronic genre, though there are some from other genres, like pop, jazz, and trance, too.
Cytus is perhaps the first mobile game of its kind to include a really profound storyline in addition to its incredibly-addictive rhythm-based gameplay. If you're looking for a fun rhythm game for your mobile, this is definitely a game you'll want to play.
Hachi Hachi
Hachi Hachi is an anime-themed action rhythm game that boasts of offering a slew of original soundtracks, each with their own back stories for you to uncover. The tracks are all designed by more than 20 professional musicians working together and they feature tunes from a wide variety of music genres, ranging from J-pop to Jazz; R&B to hardcore metal; and so much more. All of this is also coupled with fantastic anime art that truly immerses you into the theme of the game.The most interesting part of Hachi Hachi is its PvP aspect. Unlike many other action rhythm games which are basically single-player games, Hachi Hachi lets you choose to compete with another player or play alone in its Casual mode. The game also has a highly competitive Arena mode. In it, there's a weekly tournament where players will be randomly matched with other players of similar skill levels and be given a random song and difficulty to battle in. The more matches you win, the higher you rank on the tournament's leaderboard!
If competitive tap tap-styled games are kind of your thing, Hachi Hachi is an excellent choice. Give the game a try by downloading it from Google Play or the Apple App Store!
