Ballistic Overkill vs Realm Royale
Ballistic Overkill
Ballistic Overkill is a great MMOFPS game that has a fun futuristic feel to it! If you find the name familiar, well, that's mainly because the game is based on its very popular free-to-play browser-based counterpart, Ballistic (this version was unfortunately removed in the wake of Ballistic Overkill). In this game, everything previously Ballistic was completely reworked. There are more classes you can play as in addition to the plethora of game modes and maps that you can play in. These classes have their own respective skill trees that you can add points into in order to ‘upgrade’ your character class. There is also plenty of weapons available in this game, and unlike many other shooter games, with the exception of Overwatch, this game has safe rooms with multiple exits so spawn camping isn't too much of an issue.This improved game even features much better graphics - after all, the game is no longer a brwoser game - and the same goes to its music and sound effects too. However, the game is still pretty much a casual shooter (no ranked matches yet) and the matchmaking in this game still require some changes to make matches more balanced and fair for both teams. That said, if you like short, fast-paced matches and arcade-like first-person shooting or slicing (depending on the character you choose), you should definitely try Ballistic Overkill.
Realm Royale
Realm Royale is Hi-Rez Studios' (the developer behind SMITE, Paladins, Tribes: Ascend, etc) interesting take on the battle royale genre, that is by giving it a complete fantasy overhaul and designing it to specifically focus on teamplay.In this game, you'll get to play as one of five classes, namely warrior, mage, hiunter, engineer and assassin, each with their own unique abilities. Unlike many other games that only have modern weapons like guns, this game lets you blast your enemies with spells or slash at them with a sword. As mentioned, the game is very team-based, and hence, it is crucial to have a good mix of classes in your team. Only by working together will you be able to counter other classes, such as having an engineer to put up shields to defend the team from sniper fire, while having an assassin of your own to take out that pesky sniper.
Aside from class abilities, there is no building of any sort in this game. There are also mounts that you can summon when needed, giving you a way to travel vast distances in shorter time. So, in some way, it's more like PUBG than Fortnite.
Realm Royale retains the competitive gameplay that makes battle royale games so addictive to play while presenting the battle royale community with a nice new, fantasy-infused twist. It's hard to say whether this new version of battle royale of theirs will help propel the game to the top, but what we know for sure is that if you're a fan of the genre, this is a game you'll want to try.
