Friday Night Funkin' vs Hachi Hachi
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!
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!
