Killing Floor 2 vs TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
Killing Floor 2
Killing Floor 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the popular survival horror first-person shooter game, Killing Floor. This time around though, players will be venturing out from England into continental Europe where the failed experiment apparently has massive impact on as well. With civilization in disarray, the remnants of humanity has banded together to combat the massive hordes of zombies and set up bases across Europe. Playing as one of the remaining and well-trained mercenaries, you'll once again descend into the bowels of the outbreak and clear out hot zones for the survivors to reclaim.Similar to the original, Killing Floor 2 has a co-op (up to 6 players) option or you can simply play the single player mode. Interestingly, the game has added a new 12-player PvP mode where two teams of players take turns playing as humans and zombies. The team with the highest score will naturally win. The perk progression system is also expanded in this sequel, allowing players to invest in meaningful talents that will help them find a handful of skills that fit their respective play styles. Interestingly, the game has reworked its melee combat, giving melee fights more of a structure rather than simply slashing and smashing.
With so many improved features but still retaining the same good old zombie-killing mania, Killing Floor 2 is the sequel that the game series deserve. Enjoy hilariously crazy moments of caving zombies' heads in or blowing them right off with your friends by your side!
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale is the standalone battle royale game mode for the mobile survival game, Thrive Island. Set in a pretty huge open world where you can craft a large variety of items and build shelters or even big buildings as a base of sorts at night. This game has a lot more "survival" gameplay rather than the somewhat intense "battle royale" fights since you are expected to gather resources and scavenge loot just so you can have the best gear to prepare you for the final fight for the title of victor royale!Unlike other battle royale games that have the iconic map-shrinking feature, this game did away with that. Instead, you need to hunt the land for your opponents, which may take awhile, but can be fun when you catch someone by surprise. Interestingly, the game even has a zombie mode where you can turn your slain foes into zombies. Not sure how this fit into the battle royale gameplay though.
All in all, TIO: Battlegrounds Royale feels a lot like a hardcore survival game rather than a battle royale mainly because it places emphasis on building a good shelter, gathering raw resources (as opposed to finding ready-made items) and well, crafting. The game is also a work-in-progress so you can expect a less-polished game that could use your feedback to improve.
