Brawl Stars vs Last Man Standing
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.
Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing is a battle royale game that is similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) in many ways, including graphically and gameplay-wise, but you often have to remind yourself that being a free-to-play version, this game does have its own set of flaws. For starters, although the map in this game is as vast as PUBG's, there are no vehicles in Last Man Standing, forcing you to travel large distances on foot. There isn't any bullet tracers or obvious muzzle flashes in this game either so it can be quite difficult for you to pin-point from where you are being shot at.Some players also report having frame rate drops which may indicate poor game optimization and well, since there isn't any anti-cheat in the game, you will have to content with having some cheaters in the game (still less than 50% of the time though). Matchmaking takes quite some time as well since the player base in this game is obviously a lot less than PUBG or even Fortnite Battle Royale.
That said, the game has some redeeming qualities aside from being free-to-play, such as having a fun and sometimes intense and competitive gameplay; insanely in-depth character customizations where you can earn more outfits and clothes by playing; a nice arsenal of weapons that you can find and use, including the very useful riot shield-like barriers; multiple game modes (solo, duo and team-based), and more.
So, Last Man Standing is a pretty decent alternative - the free-to-play sort - if you're looking to play a game that's more similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds rather than the more cartoonish-looking Fortnite Battle Royale. Granted that this game isn't at all perfect and that apparently the devs won't be patching this game up anytime soon, this is the best you'll probably get!
