Battle Carnival vs Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground is the blocky version of a potentially fun, mobile-based MMO battle royale game. Despite being a work-in-progress, the game already has really impressive features such as a massive map where vehicles (and by extension, vehicular combat) become necessary, a vast arsenal of weapons to find and skins to collect, a live chatting system for team-based fights, and a fun pixel shooter gameplay that employs auto-shooting so all you just need to do is to aim.Not to mention, being a battle royale game, the map will gradually shrink after some time, with the outer dead zones closing in rapidly on the safe zones. This will force players to the center of the map where gunfights will then break out more frequently as players vie for the ultimate spot - to become the victor royale!
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground still has its fair share of flaws and bugs since it is, after all, still under development. However, with time and feedback, this game may just end up being one of the best block-like battle royale games on mobile.
