Rend vs Rules of Survival
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
Rules of Survival
Rules of Survival is a battle royale game that you can play while you're on the go. The game features a gameplay that resembles PUBG in many ways. You can drive vehicles, for example, in addition to the usual scavenging for better weapons, more ammo, medical supplies and other resources while competing with the other 120 players for the victory royale on a map that's periodically shrinking.It is inevitable that one day we'll have a battle royale game that somewhat rivals their PC counterparts, and this day has just arrived - in the form of Rules of Survival. This game is possibly the best mobile alternative to PUBG right now, and yet, despite its similarities, the game still manages to stand on its own on mobile since there aren't many (or at all, really) battle royale games on the iOS platform.
