Cytus vs Dynamix
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.
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.
