Black Survival vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Black Survival
Black Survival is a battle royale/survival game that will bring to mind games like PUBG and movies like the Hunger Games. However, as opposed to having plenty of players in a single game, Black Survival only houses up to 10 players on a deserted island. The island itself is segmented into 22 areas, each of which will gradually become "restricted areas" that drastically drain your health if you insist on staying in that area. It's also great that the game has a crafting aspect, allowing you to create hundreds of different weapons, tools and food items.Best yet, the game has an amazing myriad of characters for you to play as, each of them have their own backstories for you to discover. Characters are not all free, though you can literally play all of them by patiently waiting for the game's free character rotation. And of course, it also happens to be an anime-themed game... how many anime-themed battle royale games have you seen so far? (The answer is none except this one, by the way)
So, to sum up, Black Survival may have come out at just the right moment when the Battle Royale hype is at its peak thanks to popular games like PUBG and Fortnite Battle Royale, but it managed to innovate the genre and provide players with a fresh new perspective to the genre. You can even play this game for free while you're on the go!
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
