Brawl Stars vs Knives Out
Brawl Stars
Brawl Stars is an arena shooter with a couple of pretty nice twist - it has a fun ".IO game" feel to it; the game has destructible environments, and the game snagged an element from the popular battle royale genre, that is the wall of poison gas that's slowly closing in.The game has two main game modes, Free for all and Team mode, where each team consists of 3 players. In many ways, the team mode reminded me of the old Survival mode on Paladins where players all converge to the capture point in the middle of the map to duke it out and determine the last person/team standing; a mode which they had unfortunately scrapped.
Brawl Stars also features tons of unique brawlers for you to play with. Each of them has their own set of special abilities. This, in turn, is quite similar to the character formats used in traditional MOBA games.
From the makers of addictive multiplayer games like Clash Royale and Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars is a new addition to Supercell's repertoire that will make its other successful games proud. It's unique, fun (addictively so at that), and best of all, it caters to a vast majority of players who simply want to enjoy a few 3-minute (or so) competitive matches on their phones.
Knives Out
Knives Out is a pretty decent mobile battle royale game - the latest of which to hit the mobile platform for both Android and iOS. Developed by Netease, this game features everything you'd come to expect from a battle royale game, including the massive 100-player, details-covered battleground that is gradually shrinking, the arsenal of weapons you can scavenge for, and of course, the intense PvP action especially when it comes down to the last 2 survivors... with you being one of them.If you're looking for a battle royale game that's "more of the same", then Knives Out will do the trick for you. However, it will definitely need more work if it wants to stand out from among the many increasingly well-designed battle royale games out there.
