Battle Online: Survival Island vs Identity
Battle Online: Survival Island
Battle Online: Survival Island is an early access battle royale game where you have to fight against other players to survive in a gradually shrinking map. Each map in the game can house up to 15 players at a time while providing players with a ton of resources that are stored in wooden crates to pick up and collect. There isn't any crafting or base building though - just some first person shooting. You cannot loot the corpse of a player you've killed either.Granted that Battle Online: Survival Island still has a very long way to go to be remotely comparable to PUBG, this game is still pretty fun in its rudeimentary kind of way. Not to mention, by playing the game and giving the developer some feedback, you can actually help the dev turn this game into a much better mobile battle royale game for you to enjoy.
Identity
Identity aims to disrupt the traditional grindy and repetitive gameplay of modern MMORPGs by introducing an MMORPG that has an open world that's free of restrictions; a place where players can determine their own destinies as well as the world around them. The game features a massive, rich and immersive open world which includes all sorts of landscapes as well as means of moving around, such as vehicles, bicycles and trains. There are also jobs and careers of all types, both legit and illegal ones, that you can dive into. Each job you take has its own progression path which will see you rising up in ranks if you do your job well.The game even offers players their own virtual homes to decorate as they wish. Players can do a lot of stuff at home as well, such as crafting, growing plants, creating goods to be sold to other players and more. In fact, if you've the business acumen, you can set up a small enterprise and grow it into a huge corporation, especially considering that almost everything in the game can be designed and created by players.
In some way, Identity feels like a game that attempts to combine the fun of MMORPGs with a massive, sandbox-like virtual world with the likes of Second Life or IMVU. So, if this sounds like what you'd enjoy in a game, then you should definitely check it out.
