Ark: Survival Evolved vs Unturned
Ark: Survival Evolved
Ark: Survival Evolved is a hardcore, prehistoric-themed (this means dinosaurs... lots and lots of them), survival sandbox MMO set in an astoundingly gorgeous persistent world where everybody is fair game. There is insane amount of resources that you can harvest, items you can craft and dinosaurs that you can tame. Not to mention, you can and will probably need to build shelters for yourself and your tamed beasts, and of course, defend it from other players.Being a hardcore survival game, you'll also need to take care to feed both you and your dinosaurs and that death is pretty permanent in this game. Even the tools you craft has durability that will gradually wear down when used. It might be difficult to be a solo player and thus, you are often encouraged to team up whenever you can.
Ark: Survival Evolved is definitely not the sort of game to play if you're easily frustrated. The learning curve - let alone the "survival curve" - can be pretty steep especially when you keep getting killed or harassed by other, better equipped survivors.
Unturned
Unturned is an exciting voxel-based MMORPG that takes on the popular zombie apocalypse genre. However, unlike most MMOs, the game also has a single player mode where you can explore the controls and learn what to do and how to do it in relative safety. You may realize stuff about the game that you may be too busy to notice like how you can sneak around a zombie cluster that you, for sure, cannot take on; or that you can switch easily between first and third person while playing; or even the fact that a gunshot is like an alarm bell for zombies to converge on your spot.Interestingly, the game's multiplayer aspect can also be separated into two distinct modes - Arena PvP where everyone fights to the death or cooperative PvE mode where players need to work together, whether they like it or not, to combat the zombie hordes that roam the place. Like most zombie survival games, you'll also be able to find a ton of resources that will come in handy in your quest to stay alive, including the plethora of weapons, foodstuff and other resources that you can scavenge and collect from your surroundings.
Unturned rose to popularity during around the time when Minecraft and Dayz were part of the current gaming trend, and apparently, the game manages to satisfy many gamers' urge to play a game that's a perfect combination of both of these games. Best yet, did you know that this game was developed by a single 16-year-old? Now that you do (along with all the other info we've provided), you might want to drop by and try the game out.
However, do take note that although Unturned isn't exactly a 100% battle royale game, but it does have Grand Survival Battle Royale servers that you can join to like this: https://unturned-servers.net/server/62788/
