Battle Royale video games have become popular in recent years thanks to the success of Fornite or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Although many of these online survival games offer skills in exchange for money, most are free and there are mobile versions to always have the entertainment with you.
Battle Royale (or pitched battle) is a genre of video games that consists of putting a group of players on the same map and having them try to survive. Users begin the game with minimal equipment and must move around to collect weapons, clothing or protection while killing their opponents.
Generally, the safe playing area is shrinking, so the space in which players can move is increasingly limited. This forces opponents to close in and fight to be the last one standing.
This concept comes from a Japanese novel called Battle Royale that was published in 1999. There is also a movie of the same name based on the book that was released in December 2000. Over time, the idea began to spread to video games and, currently, We have a wide variety of options available for free on mobile phones.
PUBG MOBILE
The popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has a mobile version available for free for Android and iOS. It is the option with the most subscribers to play from the phone, but not the only one (we will talk about more later). Your goal, like all online action games of this style, is to survive on a battlefield with 100 other players.
The playing area shrinks as time goes by and, if you don’t move towards it, the player’s life drops until they die. For this reason, users must make sure they are within a circle that appears on the map while trying to kill their enemies and defend their team.
Call of Duty: Mobile
The video game developer Activision launched its famous Call of Duty for mobile phones a few years ago and, since then, it has had millions of downloads. The phone version offers customizable controls, text and voice chat, sound effects and three-dimensional graphics.
Call of Duty: Mobile offers a multiplayer mode, for traditional five-on-five combat. However, it has also joined the Battle Royale trend, where 100 players must survive.
Knives Out
This game is quite similar to PUBG. The game begins with one hundred players on an island, only one of whom can leave alive.
Everyone starts with a knife, but, in the Knives Out field, there are weapons, vehicles and more equipment that they can take to defend themselves and attack the rest of the users.
It can be installed from Play Google and from the App Store.
Farlight 84
It is another Battle Royale, with a different drawing style than those mentioned above, as you can see in the image below, although when it comes to playing it is quite similar. Players can choose from a roster of heroes, each with different play styles and abilities.
Its distributor FARLIGHT highlights of the application that the gameplay is fast and flexible. Additionally, on the battlefield, users may encounter firearms to enhance their combat presence and vehicles to move more easily.
Cyber ​​Hunter
It is a Chinese science fiction video game that is inspired by the Battle Royale concept and is available on phones and PC. It is developed by NetEase and the gameplay is slightly different from the other games mentioned above.
Although it is still a battle game, the context in which the games take place is different. It is based on a dystopian future, in which brain-computer interface technology (something similar to what Neurolink wants to offer) has advanced a lot and human civilization has evolved thanks to it.
In this virtual world, players must fight among themselves, being able to move on the map, in the sky or underground.
Free Fire MAX
In this case, the battlefield accepts up to 50 players in a single game. They descend on a desert island by parachute, as is usual in Battle Royale, but they only have 10 minutes to win.
Users must get weapons, hide, and fight to survive. In addition, Free Fire allows you to create groups of up to four players to eliminate the rest of the users and win the games.
Super Mecha Champions
This multiplayer action game offers games with up to 99 people, in pure Battle Royale style. In this case, players are gigantic robots fighting in a neo-futuristic city called Alpha City. The graphics are different from other alternatives that we have seen in this article and it has high-tech weapons and quite curious vehicles.
The graphics in this title have brighter colors and are not as realistic as other options (partly because the battle context is set in a futuristic world). Super Mecha Champios is PEGI 12, that is, it is suitable for children over 12 years of age, since it is classified as a game with moderate violence.
Bullet League
With this battle royale game, users fight in a 2D setting reminiscent of the graphics of Super Mario Bros. Despite having a different aesthetic, the objective remains the same: become the last player standing.
In the case of Bullet League, games have up to thirty players. This makes the battles much more dynamic and does not last as long as in other video games in the Battle Royale category.
Zooba
If you are not convinced by the aesthetics of the usual Battle Royale, Zooba is a completely different option. As you can see below, the drawings are considerably less gory and players will become animals carrying shotguns, grenades and bows with arrows.
Since it does not have such violent graphics, its developers at Wildlife Studios classify it as a game with PEGI 7. That is, it is suitable for children over 7 years old, since the violence they show is neither realistic nor detailed. This is a good option so that the little ones can enjoy an adapted version of Battle Royale.
Happy Zone
Azur Interactiva Games Limited is the developer of Happy Zone, another Battle Royale whose objective is for the player to survive other users who are playing online. As the level increases, Internet users can improve their skills to increase their power in fighting. Additionally, in each match, players must collect resources and weapons to eliminate their enemies.
It also has a special squad mode, which allows users to invite their friends and play together as a team to emerge victorious.
Unlike other games seen at the beginning, the aesthetics are much more pleasant to look at and, like Zooba, it is also suitable for children over 7 years old.
