Into the Dead vs TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
Into the Dead
Into the Dead is a fairly simply first-person shooter game that has some of the most intense zombie-themed post-apocalyptic setting that I have ever experienced. To stay alive, you not only need to have great aim; you'll also know when to run. Like most FPS games, the game does have a nice arsenal of weapons for you to use, but so far, this aspect seems a bit lacking since 1. there isn't a lot of variety unless you pay real money and 2. there is no way for you to upgrade your existing weapons. There are also tons of thrilling missions and minigames to complete as well as new game modes and features to enjoy.Although Into the Dead is not perfect, the game does have that special thrill of horror as you do your best to fend off the incoming hordes of zombies. It is definitely the perfect game to play if you're up for a heart-pounding zombie-killing, post-apocalyptic adventure.
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale
TIO: Battlegrounds Royale is the standalone battle royale game mode for the mobile survival game, Thrive Island. Set in a pretty huge open world where you can craft a large variety of items and build shelters or even big buildings as a base of sorts at night. This game has a lot more "survival" gameplay rather than the somewhat intense "battle royale" fights since you are expected to gather resources and scavenge loot just so you can have the best gear to prepare you for the final fight for the title of victor royale!Unlike other battle royale games that have the iconic map-shrinking feature, this game did away with that. Instead, you need to hunt the land for your opponents, which may take awhile, but can be fun when you catch someone by surprise. Interestingly, the game even has a zombie mode where you can turn your slain foes into zombies. Not sure how this fit into the battle royale gameplay though.
All in all, TIO: Battlegrounds Royale feels a lot like a hardcore survival game rather than a battle royale mainly because it places emphasis on building a good shelter, gathering raw resources (as opposed to finding ready-made items) and well, crafting. The game is also a work-in-progress so you can expect a less-polished game that could use your feedback to improve.
