Rocket Royale vs TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
Rocket Royale
Rocket Royale is a battle royale mobile game that has a gameplay that's really similar to Fortnite: Battle Royale but with a nice little twist. Set in a dying world, you'll be competing with 99 other players on an island to survive. However, unlike many other battle royale games, everyone in this game potentially can "win" the game simply by collecting enough materials and supplies to build a rocket to escape the island. Of course, you could also play the devil's advocate and stop other players from building their rockets just so you can be the last person standing.As mentioned, this game is similar to Fortnite's Battle Royale mode mainly because players can choose to use the materials they've gathered to build covers and shelters instead of a rocket and hopefully end up getting that coveted victory royale. Interestingly though, the game includes portals, allowing players to quickly move from one place to another on the vast map. There are plenty of weapons, over 20 of them in fact, for you to find scattered across the map as well.
Rocket Royale brings a nice twist to the generic battle royale gameplay, giving everyone a chance to "win" so to speak. However, whether or not you can make it out of the island alive, well... that remains to be seen!
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.
