How is Kendall and Kylie doing?
Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s app, Kendall and Kylie, hit the App Store in early February. Within a couple of days, it was topping charts and earning a lot of critical acclaim. Users adored the game’s great interface, compelling story, and addictive gameplay. Although no official figures have been released yet, I think it’s safe to say that they’ve made a good deal of money off of this app already. If their commercial success even comes close to that of their predecessor, the sisters will be taking home quite the lofty paycheck. But I’ll talk more about that later.
Anyway, if you found yourself burning the midnight oil to play through this game for weeks on end, you may be a little sick of it at this point. That’s perfectly understandable. If you’re looking for a new game that shares the same general vibe of Kendall and Kylie, you should be happy to hear that this particular genre of app has blown up in recent years. There are plenty of apps out there for you to choose from, and in this article, I’ll talk about some of the best apps like Kendall and Kylie.
5. Katy Perry Pop
O
Normally, I would think that Katy Perry Pop would easily earn the top spot on this list. The games are near identical, but still refreshingly different. Unfortunately, though, this app is absolutely plagued with technical issues. I have no idea what must have happened in the development process for this game to be so broken while Kendall and Kylie is so smooth, but it’s awful. The game crashes constantly, and has all kinds of stability issues. Still, once you can actually get the game going, it’s a pretty good Kendall and Kylie alternative, and it’s great if you’re a fan of the music business.
4. MovieStarPlanet
There are a few other differences between the two games, too. Since MovieStarPlanet doesn’t have a story, there’s never really any sense of progression. Yeah, you’re trying to become famous, but there’s no way to see whether or not you’re actually doing that. This app doesn’t have the same feeling of satisfaction that you get in Kendall and Kylie, watching your fame go up. In my opinion, it seems more like a regular chat-based multiplayer game that is celebrity-themed. It doesn’t go much deeper than that. Still, there’s a lot of fun to be had here. If you like what you’ve heard about MovieStarPlanet but you’re not sure whether or not you would like it, I wrote a piece on some of the best games that are like MovieStarPlanet that you could check out.
3. Episode — Choose Your Story
Now, as a text-based game, you can’t really anticipate for there to be much in the way of gameplay. This app involves imagination and a lot of reading. It’s not really for everyone, and I can understand that. Still, from art to tone, these games feel very, very similar. If you get a kick out of starting up meaningless drama in Kendall and Kylie, then I think you should at least give this free app a chance. Some of the stories are surprisingly well-written, and a lot of them are really easily to spend hours in without noticing. The only way it could be any better would be if Episode could create a much longer story that involved primarily celebrity-based plotlines. But that could never happen, right? Hmm.
2. Kim Kardashian: Hollywood
Still, when you open up the game today, it quickly becomes evident that this is an older game, especially if you’re coming from Kendall and Kylie. Basically, all of the issues that you see in Kim Kardashian: Hollywood were fixed in Kendall and Kylie. The interface was improved, the gameplay was streamlined, and the story was made a little bit more involved. (The majority of the story in this game consists of a single girl slandering you at every chance she gets, which is fun, but it’s far from reality television worthy.) Although Kendall and Kylie is definitely the best Kim Kardashian: Hollywood alternative, I’m not sure that Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is the best Kendall and Kylie alternative. It sounds like something that would make sense, but I think the jump from a newer game to an older one is jarring, and makes the older game look bad. Still, it’s definitely worth mentioning, and if we’re speaking technically, it is the most similar to Kendall and Kylie out of every other game on this list.
1. Demi Lovato: Path to Fame
Like Episode, Demi Lovato: Path to Fame plays out kind of like a visual novel. I can understand why this may be off-putting to some players, but I assure you that the gameplay in this game is much more personal than gameplay in some of the other Episode stories. Since this game plays out more as like a continuous arc than a one-off story, the experience feels much more intimate than you might feel in other Episode games. So, if you don’t like Episode, I still think you should give this game a try. When it comes down to it, this game is addictive, it has a great story, and and it’s easy to use. With that considered, I feel confident in saying that it’s the best Kendall and Kylie alternative out there. I highly recommend it to any fans of the original game.
