Highrisers vs Unturned
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
Unturned
Unturned is an exciting voxel-based MMORPG that takes on the popular zombie apocalypse genre. However, unlike most MMOs, the game also has a single player mode where you can explore the controls and learn what to do and how to do it in relative safety. You may realize stuff about the game that you may be too busy to notice like how you can sneak around a zombie cluster that you, for sure, cannot take on; or that you can switch easily between first and third person while playing; or even the fact that a gunshot is like an alarm bell for zombies to converge on your spot.Interestingly, the game's multiplayer aspect can also be separated into two distinct modes - Arena PvP where everyone fights to the death or cooperative PvE mode where players need to work together, whether they like it or not, to combat the zombie hordes that roam the place. Like most zombie survival games, you'll also be able to find a ton of resources that will come in handy in your quest to stay alive, including the plethora of weapons, foodstuff and other resources that you can scavenge and collect from your surroundings.
Unturned rose to popularity during around the time when Minecraft and Dayz were part of the current gaming trend, and apparently, the game manages to satisfy many gamers' urge to play a game that's a perfect combination of both of these games. Best yet, did you know that this game was developed by a single 16-year-old? Now that you do (along with all the other info we've provided), you might want to drop by and try the game out.
However, do take note that although Unturned isn't exactly a 100% battle royale game, but it does have Grand Survival Battle Royale servers that you can join to like this: https://unturned-servers.net/server/62788/
