Radical Heights vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
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.
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.
