Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale vs Darwin Project
Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale
Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale is an early access, MMO battle royale game where survival means you have to eliminate every other player on the island using any way you can. Players will start the game by leaping off a plane into the battleground where the race to secure valuable weapons, ammo, armor and other resources commences. The game map is pretty big at first, but it'll gradually shrink as time goes on in the game, forcing the remaining survivors together and ensuring a final shoot-out to determine the victor royale!However, since the game's still a work-in-progress, there are plenty to be desired. The controls are rather wonky and well, in terms of variety (maps mainly), the game has not much to offer. Not to mention, as opposed to playing against actual human players, you'll mostly be fighting against bots that seem to have aimlock in this game. To survive the hail of bullets will require some skill, that's for sure.
Although Battleground's Survivor: Battle Royale isn't exactly the best battle royale game on the mobile platform that you can play, the game itself is a pretty nice start. By playing the game and giving the dev/s feedback, you may help the game turn into a battle royale that you couldn't resist.
Darwin Project
Darwin Project is an early access, third-person battle royale game that combines the game show-theme from The Culling with the unique art style which made Fortnite Battle Royale so easily recognizable. Unlike most battle royale games where you'll have to compete against 99 other players to survive, this game only has 10 players, including yourself. However, the game spices things up with a ton of challenges, much like those featured in the Hunger Games, that are designed to push you to your limits.Not to mention, the game adds a nice tracking mechanism. Players in the game show will leave clues when they pass by an area and you can use those very clues to determine where your prey is heading to or hiding in. There are plenty of fun power-ups that you can collect, including temporary invisibility. Although you can't craft new weapons, the bow and shovel that you get can be upgraded to increase their deadliness.
Best yet, you can also play as the Director of the entire game show. As the Director, your goal is not to survive but to hype things up enough for the crowd to go wild. You are managing an exciting game show, after all. With feedback from the audience, you can decide which zones to drop a nuke on or which zone to freeze over, or even when to drop a "care package" for the participants to fight over.
Darwin Project manages to breathe new life into the slowly-stagnating battle royale genre. It is definitely a fun, thrilling and unique competitive MMO - one that fans of battle royale would just love to play.
