H1Z1: King of the Kill vs Highrisers
H1Z1: King of the Kill
H1Z1: King of the Kill is a competitive, battle royale-styled MMOTPS game set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone's fair game as you scavenge for supplies and materials to gain the upper hand. Gameplay-wise, the game is pretty fast-paced and intense especially when the map shrunk to a relatively small area, but of course, to be a pro, you'll need to put in the effort and the commitment to improve. Newcomers might find the skill ceiling a bit high though so you can expect to be fodder for quite sometime until you are familiar with the few maps available and know which stuff are hazards and which aren't.The shooting mechanics in this game is pretty arcade-like I suppose - it's the hit-or-miss type without the chance of getting glancing blows, and there might be a few weapons that might need adjusting - shotguns for example - but it's still okay overall. However, if you are to compare this game with another battle royale game like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), you'll find this game seriously lacking.
So, if you've got the cash to buy either H1Z1: King of the Kill or PUBG, we'd actually recommend getting PUBG since the game has a ton of players right now and you won't need to wait too long to get into a game. Not to mention, PUBG does have a lot of stuff that's better than H1Z1. But if you like having lots of skins or if you have a lower end PC, then H1Z1: King of the Kill might be your best bet.
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
