Apex Legends Mobile vs Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Apex Legends Mobile
Apex Legends Mobile is the smartphone version of the highly-popular battle royale, Apex Legends. Like its PC and console mother game, the mobile version brings the character-based, high-octane squad battles; the only difference is we will all get to experience it at our fingertips. Players will dive into the familiar World’s Edge map and compete in not only the battle royale mode, but also others like Team Deathmatch, Mini Battle Royale, and 3v3 Arenas. There is also a ranked mode for players who love the thrill of competition.Currently, Apex Legends Mobile will have all the content of the base game when it was first released, from weapons and, of course, the Legends themselves. Squad up with your friends and random players, using popular characters like Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Octane, and Wraith. It’s also important to note that, just like the mother game, the Apex Legends Mobile will have regular updates that will add more Legends, maps, and events!
Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks: Proving Grounds is an ambitious, 400-player battle royale game that includes some form of virtual world game elements to make it more social. What do we mean by that? Well, basically, there's a central, social hub where you can meet, chat and interact with other players. Similar to a virtual world game or an MMORPG, there are shops manned by NPCs here along with a nice selection of mini-games for you to enjoy during your downtimes outside of the "Proving Grounds". There's even a shooting range for you to test your skills.In terms of gameplay, Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides a massive 16km x 16km-sized map, which is dubbed as the Isle of Dern, that's filled with immaculate details like buildings, forests and the like. You'll then search these locations for chests or boxes containing the weapons or tools you need Considering the vastness of the map, there are vehicles you can drive around too.
Admittedly, it's pretty much similar to PUBG in many ways, but what truly makes this game unique is its physically-sound destructible environments. For instance, let's say an enemy is taking pot-shots at you from a forest but you can't see where he is... all you need to do is light the entire place on fire and smoke him out. There are also special specialist hardware that are powerful to use but can be really hard to find. These items will give you more strategic opportunities to get at your opponents.
The game has a bit of RPG in it mainly due to its emphasis on narrative and how every battle you fight in may determine the fate of the world. Through a unique reputation system, you can fight for the faction of your choice, either The Capital or one of The Factions, by completing achievements or simply by performing well in-game. Naturally, each faction provides you with their own sets of benefits.
Mavericks will be free-to-play once it is officially released, but it will also offer a premium, citizenship program. Likely a subscription program, having a citizenship will grant you some perks, allowing you to say earn more in-game currency and prestige, access to premium cosmetics and more.
