Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground is the blocky version of a potentially fun, mobile-based MMO battle royale game. Despite being a work-in-progress, the game already has really impressive features such as a massive map where vehicles (and by extension, vehicular combat) become necessary, a vast arsenal of weapons to find and skins to collect, a live chatting system for team-based fights, and a fun pixel shooter gameplay that employs auto-shooting so all you just need to do is to aim.Not to mention, being a battle royale game, the map will gradually shrink after some time, with the outer dead zones closing in rapidly on the safe zones. This will force players to the center of the map where gunfights will then break out more frequently as players vie for the ultimate spot - to become the victor royale!
Pixel's Unknown Battle Ground still has its fair share of flaws and bugs since it is, after all, still under development. However, with time and feedback, this game may just end up being one of the best block-like battle royale games on mobile.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
