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!
Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks: Proving Grounds is an ambitious, 400-player battle royale game that includes some form of virtual world game elements to make it more social. What do we mean by that? Well, basically, there's a central, social hub where you can meet, chat and interact with other players. Similar to a virtual world game or an MMORPG, there are shops manned by NPCs here along with a nice selection of mini-games for you to enjoy during your downtimes outside of the "Proving Grounds". There's even a shooting range for you to test your skills.In terms of gameplay, Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides a massive 16km x 16km-sized map, which is dubbed as the Isle of Dern, that's filled with immaculate details like buildings, forests and the like. You'll then search these locations for chests or boxes containing the weapons or tools you need Considering the vastness of the map, there are vehicles you can drive around too.
Admittedly, it's pretty much similar to PUBG in many ways, but what truly makes this game unique is its physically-sound destructible environments. For instance, let's say an enemy is taking pot-shots at you from a forest but you can't see where he is... all you need to do is light the entire place on fire and smoke him out. There are also special specialist hardware that are powerful to use but can be really hard to find. These items will give you more strategic opportunities to get at your opponents.
The game has a bit of RPG in it mainly due to its emphasis on narrative and how every battle you fight in may determine the fate of the world. Through a unique reputation system, you can fight for the faction of your choice, either The Capital or one of The Factions, by completing achievements or simply by performing well in-game. Naturally, each faction provides you with their own sets of benefits.
Mavericks will be free-to-play once it is officially released, but it will also offer a premium, citizenship program. Likely a subscription program, having a citizenship will grant you some perks, allowing you to say earn more in-game currency and prestige, access to premium cosmetics and more.
