Rend vs Survivor Royale
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
Survivor Royale
Survivor Royale follows in the wake of the huge hype over the battle royale genre by being among the first few actually good, PUBG-like battle royale games to hit the mobile market. However, unlike the other games currently available, this game is able to accommodate up to 100 players in the same map, on top of offering everything that made battle royale games so addictively competitive to play. This includes the massive arsenal of weapons, armor, and items to find and hoard (to some extent), a vast and well-detailed world that's gradually shrinking to explore, and of course, the thrilling battle to become the last man standing. Aside from solo mode, there are 2-player or 4-player cooperative modes that you can enjoy as well. Each match lasts around 20 minutes or so.Survivor Royale may not be the most popular mobile battle royale game out there, but it does have a series of more tactical features that made it stand out from the masses. So, if you're a huge fan of battle royale games, you might want to try this one out.
