I really like the idea of this genre and am hoping one of the upcoming games in it will actually turn out decent. It is a really fair style of game as everyone starts with absolutely nothing and it boils down to being good at shooting and knowing where to go to find good loot.
H1Z1 was the first and PUBG made it big. Then FortNite came out and took it over. These are the 3 Battle Royale games I know of, other than Radical Heights which is still very early right now.
PUBG could have been great, but the developers just don't care about it. They just want money. (A Korean company called Tancent published it). It was the kind of Battle Royale game I wanted, but it has so many bugs, is poorly optimized and has no directional sound... Not sure how you have a shooter with no directional sound.
FortNite in my opinion is too much about who can build the better tower, the fastest. It's also 90% children under the age of 10.
However with all of that being said, Tancent, the publishers of PUBG are working on a new game I believe it is called 'Europa'. It's a lot like PUBG but with environmental destruction and hopefully better developed and optimized.
Lets discuss this genre!
Do you play any Battle Royale games?
