Cytus II vs Music Hero
Cytus II
Cytus II is the sequel to the highly popular action-rhythm game, Cytus, but it's the fourth music game title from the developer, Rayark Games. Set once again in a futuristic, sci-fi society where a mega virtual world exists in the internet space known as Cytus, a mysterious DJ legend called Æsir emerged. His music sold like hot cakes and people fell madly in love with his work. Like Daft Punk (at least while they are performing), no one has ever seen this DJ's actual face, but one day, he suddenly announced a concert where he purportedly will be showing up in person (digital-wise since it's in Cytus). What will go down at this event? Well, no spoilers - Go play the game and you can eventually piece together the story to find out the ending yourself!That said, the game features the same intuitive gameplay but this time around, the game uses a unique "Active Judgement Line" system that makes the actual scan line to move rather than having the notes move. You'll only tap on the notes when the line reaches them, preferably when it's right in the middle. The game also contains a ton of high-quality music (over 50 of them, in fact) featuring composers from all around the world. The genres of the music vary widely as well, from electronic to rock.
Cytus II is an amazing addition to the Cytus series and is a must-play for fans of the original, but even if you have not played Cytus before, you can still appreciate the brilliance in combining immersive storytelling, excellent music, and an intense tapping-based gameplay.
Music Hero
Music Hero is a pretty fun music rhythm game that you can play on your mobile. It features a simple 3-line tapping system where you will need to tap on the notes as they reach the bottom. The more accurate you are, the higher score you'll get. Aside from the flashy animations and brilliant effects, the notes are synced to the music as well, at least the ones available on the app.That being said, Music Hero is perhaps the only app on Google Play to allow you to add your own music to the game and play it. In this case, the notes may not sync at all, but well, at least you can actually play the songs you like!
The game also comes in 3 difficulty levels but if you're a veteran at this sort of rhythm-based tapping games, you might find the game a bit less challenging. However, this means that Music Hero is a great game for new, entry-level players to enjoy the genre.
