Islands of Nyne: Battle Royle is another survival game where you need to be the last man standing.
You’re placed into a battle arena with up to 100 other players. It looks and plays very similar to PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds, but it’s not quite the same. In fact, it was in development for a longer period way before PUBG was announced.
The storyline goes as aliens have pitted humans against each other and watch them battle it out. The battle arena shrinks just like any other battle royale game and puts players in close proximity.
In IoN:BR, there are key differences compared to PUBG. For instance, the game is only in first-person, which means you can’t use the camera to peek around corners and windows. The game also takes place in an environment that’s alien. They have things like antigravity and even teleportation. The environments are what keep this game interesting. you can play in pirate-themed levels, medieval villages, ruins, and even modern levels. Unlike PUBG, you don’t only play in a rural, ransacked city.
You get a variety of weapons to utilize to your advantage that fit the environment, such as medieval-theme weaponry like swords. This is also a distinct feature that keeps Islands of Nyne a standout battle royale game.
Here are some features from their press kit:
- First-person-only gameplay
- A full competitive ranking system
- Persistent stat tracking
- Massive arenas featuring weapons and locations that span time and space
- Teleportation, anti-gravity mechanics and other unique Sci-Fi elements
Some other planned features are multiple game modes, a betting system, and even no microtransactions. Before you knock this game off as a just another battle royale trying to cash in on the trend, give it a try. It has amazing graphics due to the Unreal 4 engine and looks very promising already.
