Dynamix vs Hachi Hachi
Dynamix
Dynamix is the rhythm game to play if you feel that most mobile rhythm games are just too "tame". The game features a rather sophisticated gameplay where the keys will pop up not only from the middle-bottom part of the screen but also from the left and right - the sort of gameplay that will definitely appeal to hardcore rhythm games. Of course, like most rhythm games, they do have some impressive flashy visuals to accompany every tap you make.Despite having anime characters in it, the game features over 205 music and songs from a wide variety of artists in addition to Japanese ones, including over 20 Hong Kong originals (the developers are Hong Kong-based after all), Korean hits, and other popular songs from East Asia. However, note that since the game's a freemium, you may need to spend money to purchase the songs you want to play. The free songs are naturally free to play.
With the increasing popularity of rhythm mobile games, we often feel that Dynamix is a challenging game that is often overlooked due to its slight difficulty, at least at the beginning when you're trying to get used to having keys popping up all over the place. However, it is still a very good rhythm game and is an excellent choice as a tougher alternative to any of the SuperStar titles.
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!
