Flame in the Flood vs Fortnite Battle Royale
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
Fortnite Battle Royale
Fortnite Battle Royale is the latest game to hop into the rapidly growing battle royale scene. Developed by Epic Games, this game offers everything you've enjoyed in PUBG - the epic struggle to survive in an ever-shrinking map - but with a bit more style, albeit the more cartoonish sort. The crafting system in this game is in-depth enough to be entertaining, and of course, the map is vast enough at the beginning to give players a pretty nice (and safe) start before all the PvP starts to erupt across the map.Despite the apparent on-going conflict of sorts with PUBG, Fortnite Battle Royale is an oustanding game. It doesn't only has fantastic gameplay elements and graphics; it also has the added bonus of being free-to-play. Not to mention, as the game is cross-platform, it manages to fill in a void that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has failed to quickly fill - to cater to the demand of a solid battle royale game on consoles.
