Last Man Standing vs Unturned
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!
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/
