Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends vs Friday Night Funkin'
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends
Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is the latest installment in the expansive hack-and-slash galore, the Dynasty Warrior franchise. The game recounts the tales of the Romance of hte Three Kingdoms where you get to play as the warrior "Lu Bu". There are plenty of hypothetical scenarios that you can experience in this game, along with new playable characters, weapons, and exciting game modes like the reworked Ambition mode and the brand new Challenge mode. You can also play the game cooperatively though many players have complained of issues that mainly revolves around poor controller support.That said, Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends is still a pretty decent game to add to the franchise, though it might not be comparable to their best installment, Dynasty Warriors 4. If you aim to play this game, you might want to check out the console version rather than the PC port.
Friday Night Funkin'
Friday Night Funkin' is a challenging, indie, action rhythm game with some cool tunes, intense gameplay, and 6 levels (excluding the tutorial), with each level offering around 2-3 songs. Likely inspired by games like Parappa the Rapper and Dance Dance Revolution, the game comes with both a story mode and a free play mode. In story mode, you play as a young man who just wanted to smooch his hot girlfriend but his ex-rockstar dad is in the way! The only thing you can do is to use the power of music to "convince" him that his daughter is in good hands. Of course, her dad isn't the only guy you'll have to fend off in this game, and I really like that the game included some festive-themed levels too, such as the one for Halloween and Christmas.The gameplay in Friday Night Funkin' is also absolutely thrilling, with moments when a slew of tightly-packed arrows will just fill up your side of the screen, putting your hand-and-eye coordination to the ultimate test. Similar to Parappa the Rapper, you'll only get your turn after your AI "opponent" is done with its turn (and the AI always starts first), but unlike the teacher-student dynamic in the classic, the AI and you are competitors in some sort of action rhythm showdown where the loser will, unfortunately, get electrocuted and die.
There are plenty of songs to play and there are some that are truly devilish, to say the least. So, if you're a fan of action rhythm games, Friday Night Funkin' is one game you don't want to miss out on! Give it a play - it's free-to-play after all!
