Free Fire - Battlegrounds vs Last Man Standing
Free Fire - Battlegrounds
Free Fire - Battlegrounds is a 30-man battle royale game that is set on a remote, open-world island in the middle of nowhere. Featuring an intense and competitive, third-person survival gameplay that may remind you of PlayerUnknown's Battleground, this game will have you do whatever it takes to be the last man standing. This include scavenging buildings for weapons, ammo, and other supplies, or simply killing other players for their stuff.The map in this game is also vast and incredibly detailed, providing players with plenty of places to set up ambushes or to hide from danger. Due to its size, players will be able to travel across it in vehicles, if they can find a functional one. That aside, despite being a mobile game, Free Fire does have some responsive and easy-to-use controls, making it easier for you to dominate the battlefield. The huge arsenal of weapons and their attachments at your disposal helps a lot as well.
It's not surprising to see that more and more PUBG-like battle royale games, like Free Fire - Battlegrounds, start to hit the mobile platform. After all, the hype over this genre is as solid as what MOBA had experienced a few years back. So, if you fancy playing a good battle royale game on your tablet or phone, you definitely have to try this game out!
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!
