Apex Legends Mobile vs TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
Apex Legends Mobile
Apex Legends Mobile is the smartphone version of the highly-popular battle royale, Apex Legends. Like its PC and console mother game, the mobile version brings the character-based, high-octane squad battles; the only difference is we will all get to experience it at our fingertips. Players will dive into the familiar World’s Edge map and compete in not only the battle royale mode, but also others like Team Deathmatch, Mini Battle Royale, and 3v3 Arenas. There is also a ranked mode for players who love the thrill of competition.Currently, Apex Legends Mobile will have all the content of the base game when it was first released, from weapons and, of course, the Legends themselves. Squad up with your friends and random players, using popular characters like Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Octane, and Wraith. It’s also important to note that, just like the mother game, the Apex Legends Mobile will have regular updates that will add more Legends, maps, and events!
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.
