Mini DayZ vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Mini DayZ
Mini DayZ is a brilliant survival game in which you have to outlast the zombie apocalypse as well as anything hostile that might just kill you. The game includes an open world map full of resources and zombies on the move. You can and should harvest resources, grow plants, build a base and craft a wide variety of new tools, weapons and items that will help you survive the next couple of days. There are plenty of AI survivors you can meet as well, some of whom are friendly while others are hostile. If you play the game on its multiplayer mode, you may even encounter other players too.The absolute best thing about this game is that Mini Dayz is completely, 100% free-to-play. There are no in-app purchases whatsoever! So, if you do find yourself being beaten to death by another player with a baseball bat, you'll have no one else but yourself to blame.
With exciting crafting options and a harcore gameplay where your survival needs come first and foremost, the game is a brilliant addition to the survival game genre, especially considering there aren't many great ones on the mobile platform. It is a pretty good alternative to Last Day on Earth to be honest, so if you're a fan of the latter, you might want to check this out.
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.
