Ballistic Overkill vs Zula
Ballistic Overkill
Ballistic Overkill is a great MMOFPS game that has a fun futuristic feel to it! If you find the name familiar, well, that's mainly because the game is based on its very popular free-to-play browser-based counterpart, Ballistic (this version was unfortunately removed in the wake of Ballistic Overkill). In this game, everything previously Ballistic was completely reworked. There are more classes you can play as in addition to the plethora of game modes and maps that you can play in. These classes have their own respective skill trees that you can add points into in order to ‘upgrade’ your character class. There is also plenty of weapons available in this game, and unlike many other shooter games, with the exception of Overwatch, this game has safe rooms with multiple exits so spawn camping isn't too much of an issue.This improved game even features much better graphics - after all, the game is no longer a brwoser game - and the same goes to its music and sound effects too. However, the game is still pretty much a casual shooter (no ranked matches yet) and the matchmaking in this game still require some changes to make matches more balanced and fair for both teams. That said, if you like short, fast-paced matches and arcade-like first-person shooting or slicing (depending on the character you choose), you should definitely try Ballistic Overkill.
Zula
Zula is a Europe-only, free-to-play MMOFPS game that will see you joining either the group of militarized vigilantes (the Zulas) or the paramilitary force that has its fingers in almost every military organization around the world. Featuring a military-style gameplay that many Counter Strike players, especially the older versions of the game, can relate to and may even enjoy immensely. The game offers tons of game modes for you to enjoy, most of which are team-based, though there are solo modes like the Free-for-all mode. If you're good enough to compete in ranked matches, there are tournaments for you to sign up as well. In fact, Zula is apparently pretty huge in the eSports industry, but of course, if you are to compare it with CS:GO then, it'd be an unfair comparison.With so many weapons and skins along with characters who are based off on popular TV heroes, it is no wonder Zula has had so much success and for so long in Europe. We are not sure when... or even if the game is going to be opened up to the global gamer population but in the meanwhile, you can check out our games like Zula below. If you're from Europe though, then be sure to give this game a try!
