However, a game is just a game, and not all of us always have the same preferences.

If you are as much of a sucker for Battle Royale games as much as we are, the name itself is enough to suggest that this is a classic a Battle Royale. It is fast-paced, straight to the point and isn’t as visually stunning as most of the other Battle Royale games out there. The map is comparatively smaller and the farther you are from the damage soon the higher is the damage you sustain.
