Spellbreak is a battle royale online RPG with awesome visuals and a spellcasting system that allows players to combine and unleash powerful spells to nuke their opponents.

The game is basically battle royale with spells and RPG elements with some strategic combat. You can equip gauntlets that give you access to two skills- one weak but fast skill and one slow but powerful skill. And you can combine then together to create new attacks that are unique to using them individually. The game is still very early in development, but just from some of the artwork floating around, it looks like a promising new battle royale game that could be enough to stand out.

You can sign up for the pre-alpha to get in on the arcade action!

Xtraction Royale is a new VR battle royale game powered by the Unreal Engine. But there’s a twist.

Other than being a VR battle royale game, players will earn cryptocurrency for playing. It’ll be compatible with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift and offers some intense battle royale gameplay similar to pretty much any other game in the same genre- but it has VR support. Players can arrange squads or play solo and use real-life weaponry with accurate stats.

There are also plenty of equipment, armor, traps, and even scraps to collect during matches which allow players to upgrade their gear at upgrade locations throughout the map (which are obviously going to be hot spots) and change up the game. Players must reach the Xtraction Zone within the time limit and only players that get inside the helicopter will survive. The game is a little different from other games where you must reach a specific point rather than kill everyone else. Character customization is a big part of the game and nearly everything can be customized with the marketplace which has lots of gear.

Players will rewarded with a virtual currency called RVR. It’s their own cryptocurrency which can be used to buy stuff in the game or traded for real cash.

The game is still very early in development but players can sign up for beta. VR and crypto are what makes this game stands out form the sea of battle royale games.

The Darwin Project is a third-person survival game that focuses on the last man standing style of gameplay.

Sure, there are a ton of new survival games rolling out. A lot of them are just Battlegrounds clones, but The Darwin Project ain’t one of them. Not even a bit.

Here’s why.

The Darwin Project takes place in dangerous snowy areas located in Canada. With the snow comes a huge twist to the gameplay style. For one, you’ll leave footsteps as you walk. Just this realism factor adds a whole new dimension and twist to the survival genre. The game also allows players to set player-activated traps and hunt each other down to be the last person alive in Battle Royale-style game.

The game has a “director” which is controlled by a player. This person can control certain events that happen in the game world and control the outcome of it as well. If the players in the battle map don’t adapt to the changing scenario, they’ll likely be killed off. The show director can do things like drop nukes, zone areas, and even use gravity to affect the gameplay.

It’s sort of like an awesome, yet sick, twisted reality TV show.

It’s advertised as a half science experiment and half live entertainment show. You can track enemy positions by the clues they leave behind in the environment as well as use traps and such to catch them. The environment is also freezing cold so you need to play carefully.

There’s also only a limit of 10 players per round on decently-sized maps. Each character has special perks, skills, and attributes that can affect the outcome of the game. The director can change the game arena in multiple ways that may make each of these perks better or worse.

The Darwin Project is also compatible with Mixer. If you’ve never heard of them, it’s another streaming service like Twitch. Viewers can also affect the game’s outcome as well, but it’s not certain how. Perhaps in the future, the game will be compatible with Twitch as well which may propel it to new heights due to the large viewerbase that Twitch has. It’s supposedly on the way. Regardless, this is something that makes this survival game stand out from the clones.

The dev team behind this game have also worked on games like CS:GO and Assassin’s Creed, so they have some experience. The Darwin Project is currently available for beta testing on Steam.

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.

You can follow the development of the game using the links below. It’s worth checking out.
