Darwin Project vs Paladins
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.
Paladins
Paladins is a breakout MMO hero shooter game that offers a smooth mix of objective-based matches and arcade-styled, first-person shooting. In addition to an amazing lineup of champions of varying skills and abilities to play as, the game also incorporates a unique card-based loadout system where you'll need to adapt to the random cards that you get as you play. The matches themselves are team-oriented and fast-paced as well. Best yet, the game is going to launch its new battle royale game mode soon, which guarantees to put a twist to the conventional genre.Paladins: Champions of the Realm is a great alternative to games like Team Fortress 2, Dirty Bomb and Overwatch. Both competitive and casual players will definitely enjoy this game!
