Smash Hit vs The Binding of Isaac
Smash Hit
Smash Hit is a unique and yet entertaining arcade-like game. You will be travelling through an otherworldly dimension where you'll need to break as many glass objects as you can with what seems to be steel ball bearings. The most interesting part about this game though is that everything in the game is intricately linked to the music played in the background as you play. So, this also means that if you happen on a stage where the tune is a lot quicker, you can definitely expect the obstacles to move a lot faster (and hence, harder to aim) too.Bringing its players the stress-release that comes with smashing fragile stuff, Smash Hit is indeed a smash hit on the mobile platform as it has racked up over 100 million downloads over the years. The game is even adapted for the Oculus virtual reality platform (check out Smash Hit VR).
The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that has a rather dark and depressing theme. In this game, you play the role of Isaac, a human boy who had to flee for his life after his mother heard the voice of God asking her to sacrifice his son to him. However, in a rather weird twist, the basement Isaac ran into turned into a waking nightmare and is filled with insane enemies, his fears and of course, his mother.Despite the rather abstract story, the gameplay is surprisingly solid. You'll find many gross items that will grant Isaac new powers and change his being, allowing him to fight off hordes of enemies and bosses of varying abilities. Interestingly, the levels you fight in are randomly generated and this gives The Binding of Isaac a kind of replayability that rivals that of other famous dungeon crawling games. Depending on your actions as Isaac, you'll also unlock different endings as well.
The Binding of Isaac is definitely a unique sort of dungeon crawler that uses the gruesome element that Diablo has so perfectly wielded to disgust you while giving you sufficient variety in terms of Isaac's abilities and the abilities of the enemy you'll be facing. If this is the sort of game for you, you might be interested to try the game out.
