Ark: Survival Evolved vs Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale
Ark: Survival Evolved
Ark: Survival Evolved is a hardcore, prehistoric-themed (this means dinosaurs... lots and lots of them), survival sandbox MMO set in an astoundingly gorgeous persistent world where everybody is fair game. There is insane amount of resources that you can harvest, items you can craft and dinosaurs that you can tame. Not to mention, you can and will probably need to build shelters for yourself and your tamed beasts, and of course, defend it from other players.Being a hardcore survival game, you'll also need to take care to feed both you and your dinosaurs and that death is pretty permanent in this game. Even the tools you craft has durability that will gradually wear down when used. It might be difficult to be a solo player and thus, you are often encouraged to team up whenever you can.
Ark: Survival Evolved is definitely not the sort of game to play if you're easily frustrated. The learning curve - let alone the "survival curve" - can be pretty steep especially when you keep getting killed or harassed by other, better equipped survivors.
Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale
Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale is an early access, MMO battle royale game where survival means you have to eliminate every other player on the island using any way you can. Players will start the game by leaping off a plane into the battleground where the race to secure valuable weapons, ammo, armor and other resources commences. The game map is pretty big at first, but it'll gradually shrink as time goes on in the game, forcing the remaining survivors together and ensuring a final shoot-out to determine the victor royale!However, since the game's still a work-in-progress, there are plenty to be desired. The controls are rather wonky and well, in terms of variety (maps mainly), the game has not much to offer. Not to mention, as opposed to playing against actual human players, you'll mostly be fighting against bots that seem to have aimlock in this game. To survive the hail of bullets will require some skill, that's for sure.
Although Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale isn't exactly the best battle royale game on the mobile platform that you can play, the game itself is a pretty nice start. By playing the game and giving the dev/s feedback, you may help the game turn into a battle royale that you couldn't resist.
