The Culling vs Unturned
The Culling
The Culling is, in many ways, a potentially great PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds alternative game. In fact, many would say that this is perhaps the very first standalone, battle royale game that is inspired directly from the Hunger Games. As such, you'll expect a pretty brutal arena set on a remote island where players will not only need to explore the foreign land to scavenge for resources but also to craft a wide variety of weapons, traps and tools just so you can ambush your fellow players. Naturally, being battle royale and all, the last man standing will be the victor.Each match can contain up to 16 contestants (and yes, like Hunger Games, The Culling is apparently a game show) and the game lasts for around 20 minutes. There is also a tutorial, a training mode where you play against AI bots, and a special 8-player Lightning Round where players get access to the best weapons early on in the game. As a game show, the "organizers" will often spice things up with special in-match events that have some pretty crucial rewards too. Like the Hunger Games, players can also each call in an airdrop (a.k.a. "care package") containing valuable items but getting to that airdrop in one piece without having your stuff stolen before you reach there can be quite a challenge in itself.
Now, unlike PUBG's shooter-heavy gameplay, The Culling has a more visceral, action-based, melee-oriented gameplay that will make every successful kill a very satisfying one. Don't get me wrong - the game does have ranged options like bows and guns but having a firearm or any ranged weapons may not be an advantage if you don't know how to keep your distance. Players can easily be disarmed of their ranged weapon if they are ambushed by a melee player, and of course, if you missed your aim, you may not have a second shot.
However, due to a plague of problems between the developers and its community, The Culling seems to be a pretty dead game at the moment and hence, finding a match can be quite difficult. Similar to PUBG, The Culling is not a free game either and this game is on the pricey end considering its almost non-existant player base.
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/
