Oh, and you usually battle it out in weird and wonderful costumes.
CSGO: Danger Zone
None of us ever expectedDanger Zoneto be as good as it is.
But oh boy, did Danger Zone grip me.
But let me talk about the tablet and the drones, because they’re just amazing.
It’s absolutely ingenious.
If that doesn’t intrigue you, I don’t know what will.
Check out ourDanger Zone guidefor tonnes more info on this excellent and free-to-play battle royale mode.
The maps are small, the loot is frequent, and the combat is, well, Minecraft.
It might surprise you how intense and enjoyable a match can be.
PUBG
For many,PUBGis where the battle royale genre truly began.
The first major standalone BR to be available, PUBG is still enjoyed by thousands of players every day.
Games of PUBG are much slower-paced than Fortnite, with far more of an emphasis on realism.
There’s no building, no hitscan, no potions or launch pads.
Not that it rewards wild behaviour.
Oh no, you’ll need to be patient when it comes to fights.
Economy of movement is king.
I’d give it a read for the full lowdown on thisaction gamemeets battle royale if I were you.
And as an extra note: it has a grappling hook.
You play as a lil tank thrown onto a Worms-style 2D arena that’s highly destructible.
Movement is an important thing in battle royale games, and Rocket Bot Royale makes it the most fun.
You don’t just roll around in a tank (that’d be boring, obvs).
Instead, you bounce around, propelling yourself with each blast of your cannon.
It’s a refreshing change of perspective, but it should otherwise feel very familiar.
You’ll find yourself armed to the teeth in no time, and then the chaos kicks off.
Gas overwhelms the island, everyone starts charging towards the centre, and only one animal is left standing.
Don’t let the cuteness lull you into a false sense of safety.
Super Animal Royale is fast and ferocious, with the 2D perspective forcing you into close quarters.
Gone are the arguments about broken metas and slide cancelling.
You don’t need to worry about that inFall Guys.
Fortnite
Fortnitehas taken over the RPS treehouse as of late.
Many of us have fallen oddly in love with its maddening cacophony of IP crossovers.
Spider-Man swings by as Ariana Grande whacks Destiny’s Zavala with a lightsaber.
John Cena is in the background, weaving a Segway between someAmong Usimposters who are busy chasing Eminem.
Goku and Harry Kane are in a synchronised dance.
And then the klaxon sounds, you all board the battle bus, and the battle royale begins.
Apex Legends
If there had to be one battle royale left standing, it’d beApex Legends.
That’s not to say it doesn’t do anything different, though.
One thing that isn’t so fast is the time to kill, which is often forgiving in Apex.
