Flame in the Flood vs Radical Heights
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
Radical Heights
Radical Heights is a brand-new, over-the-top, free-to-play battle royale game with a funky 80s theme. Featuring a premise that mimics that of The Culling, the game is set in a domed "fake city" constructed solely for the high-stakes game show that you are a participant in. In this game show, participants will need to battle each other for access to better weapons, gadgets, awesome cosmetics, and, of course, cash while trying to avoid dying in the process. If you survived to the very end, you'll be declared the winner of the game show and will be showered with virtual fame and fortune.In addition to its fiery third-person gunplay, players will also get to travel around the map and battle their rivals on epic BMX bikes. However, unlike Fortnite Battle Royale, you can't build stuff in this game.
Granted that Radical Heights is still in its VERY early access and hence, there is still plenty of stuff that needs to be tweaked and fixed, you can still get a pretty good idea of the game's potential in being one of the better battle royale games on PC. You can also get involved in the game's development and give the developers feedback as you play.
