Battle Carnival vs Brutal.io
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Brutal.io
Brutal.io , developed by the very people behind Wings.io, is a competitive PvP game where you get to play as a cell of sorts, much like Agar.io, but with a spiky flail to whack other players with. Like all IO games, Brutal.io is very easy to learn but can be hard to master. Similar to Agar.io as well, you will need to gobble up food fragments scattered around the place to grow your main bulk. The arena you'll do battle in is unique too. It has walls you can take cover behind, and there's even a walled-up area in the middle for smaller cells to hide when escaping from larger cells.Despite the comparison with Agar.io, Brutal.io is not a direct copy of the game. In fact, it builds on what makes the former game so challenging and hence, addictive to play, while subsequently created something that looks and feels different. That being said, Brutal.io is still a game that fans of Agar.io, or any IO games really, would really enjoy.
