Brawl Stars vs Realm Royale
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.
Realm Royale
Realm Royale is Hi-Rez Studios' (the developer behind SMITE, Paladins, Tribes: Ascend, etc) interesting take on the battle royale genre, that is by giving it a complete fantasy overhaul and designing it to specifically focus on teamplay.In this game, you'll get to play as one of five classes, namely warrior, mage, hiunter, engineer and assassin, each with their own unique abilities. Unlike many other games that only have modern weapons like guns, this game lets you blast your enemies with spells or slash at them with a sword. As mentioned, the game is very team-based, and hence, it is crucial to have a good mix of classes in your team. Only by working together will you be able to counter other classes, such as having an engineer to put up shields to defend the team from sniper fire, while having an assassin of your own to take out that pesky sniper.
Aside from class abilities, there is no building of any sort in this game. There are also mounts that you can summon when needed, giving you a way to travel vast distances in shorter time. So, in some way, it's more like PUBG than Fortnite.
Realm Royale retains the competitive gameplay that makes battle royale games so addictive to play while presenting the battle royale community with a nice new, fantasy-infused twist. It's hard to say whether this new version of battle royale of theirs will help propel the game to the top, but what we know for sure is that if you're a fan of the genre, this is a game you'll want to try.
