Angry Birds Match vs Candy Crush Friends Saga
Angry Birds Match
Angry Birds Match adds a different twist to the usual slingshot-based gameplay that the Angry Birds franchise is incredibly renowned for. In this brand-new spin-off, Rovio delivers a whole new match-3 adventure where you'll not only need to organize the Hatchlings' party but also to protect it from the mischievous pigs. Mix and match up tons of cakes and party decor to solve the many and varied puzzle levels available. You can also bring out the big boys a.k.a. the Angry Birds like Red, Chuck, and Bomb with a match-4, and use explosive Boosters to clear the toughest levels. The best part of this game though, aside from the fact that you can play this game completely offline, is definitely the crazy-cute Hatchlings that you can collect. You can even visit them and put on the new outfits you've unlocked!Angry Birds Match may have done a complete 360 on the iconic gameplay that had made the franchise famous, but this isn't exactly their first attempt at doing so - There's an Angry Birds-themed racing game called Angry Birds Go! after all. That being said, this new game does help Rovio experiment with various other game genres just to see which new field they can expand the franchise into... and apparently, the casual match-3 genre is a pretty good bet.
Candy Crush Friends Saga
Candy Crush Friends Saga is brand-new match-3 puzzle adventure from the Candy Crush franchise, developed by none other than King. This game attempt to move pass the franchise's usual match-3 gameplay by adding in fun new game modes, such as dunk the cookie in the chocolate and free the octopuses and the mammoths, as well as the fact that you can now call on your favorite characters, your "friends", in the game for help. The game rewards are also so much more attractive this time around because you get to collect more friends and their outfits. However, many players have pointed out that the game has a pretty obvious cash-grab scheme - the little piggy banks that you get for "free" can only be opened using 30 Gold Bars. It would have been nice if there's a free option to open such rewards, like a long waiting period, maybe?Overall, Candy Crush Friends Saga builds on the original games by providing its fans with exciting new game modes and friends whom you could call upon for help, while retaining the style that had made the franchise popular among gamers. It is definitely a step up!
