Battle Online: Survival Island vs Last Man Standing
Battle Online: Survival Island
Battle Online: Survival Island is an early access battle royale game where you have to fight against other players to survive in a gradually shrinking map. Each map in the game can house up to 15 players at a time while providing players with a ton of resources that are stored in wooden crates to pick up and collect. There isn't any crafting or base building though - just some first person shooting. You cannot loot the corpse of a player you've killed either.Granted that Battle Online: Survival Island still has a very long way to go to be remotely comparable to PUBG, this game is still pretty fun in its rudeimentary kind of way. Not to mention, by playing the game and giving the developer some feedback, you can actually help the dev turn this game into a much better mobile battle royale game for you to enjoy.
Last Man Standing
Last Man Standing is a battle royale game that is similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) in many ways, including graphically and gameplay-wise, but you often have to remind yourself that being a free-to-play version, this game does have its own set of flaws. For starters, although the map in this game is as vast as PUBG's, there are no vehicles in Last Man Standing, forcing you to travel large distances on foot. There isn't any bullet tracers or obvious muzzle flashes in this game either so it can be quite difficult for you to pin-point from where you are being shot at.Some players also report having frame rate drops which may indicate poor game optimization and well, since there isn't any anti-cheat in the game, you will have to content with having some cheaters in the game (still less than 50% of the time though). Matchmaking takes quite some time as well since the player base in this game is obviously a lot less than PUBG or even Fortnite Battle Royale.
That said, the game has some redeeming qualities aside from being free-to-play, such as having a fun and sometimes intense and competitive gameplay; insanely in-depth character customizations where you can earn more outfits and clothes by playing; a nice arsenal of weapons that you can find and use, including the very useful riot shield-like barriers; multiple game modes (solo, duo and team-based), and more.
So, Last Man Standing is a pretty decent alternative - the free-to-play sort - if you're looking to play a game that's more similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds rather than the more cartoonish-looking Fortnite Battle Royale. Granted that this game isn't at all perfect and that apparently the devs won't be patching this game up anytime soon, this is the best you'll probably get!
