Mavericks: Proving Grounds vs Radical Heights
Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks: Proving Grounds is an ambitious, 400-player battle royale game that includes some form of virtual world game elements to make it more social. What do we mean by that? Well, basically, there's a central, social hub where you can meet, chat and interact with other players. Similar to a virtual world game or an MMORPG, there are shops manned by NPCs here along with a nice selection of mini-games for you to enjoy during your downtimes outside of the "Proving Grounds". There's even a shooting range for you to test your skills.In terms of gameplay, Mavericks: Proving Grounds provides a massive 16km x 16km-sized map, which is dubbed as the Isle of Dern, that's filled with immaculate details like buildings, forests and the like. You'll then search these locations for chests or boxes containing the weapons or tools you need Considering the vastness of the map, there are vehicles you can drive around too.
Admittedly, it's pretty much similar to PUBG in many ways, but what truly makes this game unique is its physically-sound destructible environments. For instance, let's say an enemy is taking pot-shots at you from a forest but you can't see where he is... all you need to do is light the entire place on fire and smoke him out. There are also special specialist hardware that are powerful to use but can be really hard to find. These items will give you more strategic opportunities to get at your opponents.
The game has a bit of RPG in it mainly due to its emphasis on narrative and how every battle you fight in may determine the fate of the world. Through a unique reputation system, you can fight for the faction of your choice, either The Capital or one of The Factions, by completing achievements or simply by performing well in-game. Naturally, each faction provides you with their own sets of benefits.
Mavericks will be free-to-play once it is officially released, but it will also offer a premium, citizenship program. Likely a subscription program, having a citizenship will grant you some perks, allowing you to say earn more in-game currency and prestige, access to premium cosmetics and more.
So, if you enjoy battle royale games, you'll want to try this game! You can do so right now if you purchase a Founder's pack, or you can try your luck getting into the game's beta testing by signing up as a tester on the website.
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.
