Les meilleurs jeux de bataille Royale

In 2018, one genre of video games dominated the public discourse and eventually found its way into the heart of pop culture: The Battle Royale. The basic concept is simple — dozens of players are placed on a map and fight it out until only one remains standing. It’s led to countless different games offering their own take on the formula.

The most popular game on the planet in 2019, Fortnite found success by taking an existing game and introducing battle royale elements rather than creating something from scratch. Originally only a player-versus-environment “Save the World” mode focused on building, Fortnite evolved into a competitive multiplayer game, as well, but it kept the building elements that made the first version stand out. Dropped onto an enormous map, you must scavenge the environment and nearby buildings in search of weapons to use, all while your enemies create their own fortified structures and search for targets to kill. Fortnite ’s blend of battle royale action and crafting isn’t the only thing that made it successful, though. Epic Games has been committed to constant updates, both to add new content and make ongoing quality-of-life changes. This has led to a game designed specifically to please dedicated players, and it has paid off in a big way.

Release February 04, 2019

Respawn Entertainment may have shelved development on Titanfall 3, but the studio avoided angering most of its fans by releasing the free-to-play Apex Legends __ in its place. Set in the Titanfall universe, the battle royale game is, on a fundamental level, similar to its peers. You still drop down onto a map and gather weapons and gear from loot boxes, and a circle gradually shrinks to kill those not active in the fight. However, it also introduced respawning to the formula, giving teams the ability to revive their friends killed earlier in a match. This small change wouldn’t be enough to cause Apex Legends ’ massive success, however — Respawn’s excellent gunplay is responsible for that. Smooth, snappy, but still weighty, the weapons in Apex Legends feel nearly perfect, and they make it easy to sink dozens of hours into the game in a single week. With classes offering their own unique abilities, as well, you can always try a new strategy.

Release March 10, 2020

You wouldn’t think there’d be room for yet another battle royale shooter, but Call of Duty: Warzone somehow manages to capture the attention of millions of players — even in such a saturated market. The Call of Duty name alone prints money for Activision, and with it being free to play, it’s an enticing offer. In its first month, the shooter racked up over 50 million players. Which, for context, is around the same number of users who played Apex Legends during its first month, as well. Above all else, Warzone is an absolute blast to play. There’s nothing quite like the way a Call of Duty game feels — something that other shooters have tried and failed to replicate. Combined with the massive budget of an Activision game and a high degree of polish, Warzone refines the genre completely. It borrows many beloved mechanics from the base version of 2019’s Modern Warfare, like perks and weapon progression, and successfully melds it with what you’d expect from a battle royale game. It features 150 players across small teams of up to four players — all competing to gather cash, loot, and XP, while avoiding the deadly gas that slowly closes in on you. And with constant updates courtesy of Raven Software, Warzone will likely stick around for the foreseeable future.

Release December 20, 2017

The game that served as the catalyst for the battle royale phenomenon, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds __ has nonetheless avoided very many pure imitators. A remarkably slow game in comparison to its competitors, a typical match of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds involves players sneaking into shacks and houses, finding a weapon or two, and carefully crawling through the grass to avoid detection. At any moment, chaos can still break out, with grenades going off as players scramble for cover. It isn’t a game of excess, but it rewards smart play like few other battle royale titles. Despite making full use of controllers on console and mouse-and-keyboard on PC, the game was even translated to phones and tablets as the excellent PUBG Mobile. Free-to-play, the mobile version’s use of motion aiming helps to keep your shots precise, and it has even received in-game tie-ins with franchises like Mission: Impossible and Resident Evil. It doesn’t have the same fidelity as its big sibling, but that’s about the only tradeoff you’ll deal with.

Release August 03, 2020

Fall Guys was another hit that skyrocketed in popularity throughout 2020 to become one of the most popular battle royale games in the world — and it’s easy to see why. The game eschews the weapons of other popular royale designs for a series of platform-heavy racecourses instead. Every race starts out with 60 players, and with each match, the number of players drops until the winners are declared. There are several different types of races involving a variety of chase situations, and multiple tactics to help out friends or knockoff foes. It’s a zany combination of battle royale and the rollicking fun of Mario Kart, and the ability to customize your Fall Guy in so many ways (primarily via a cosmetics shop and currency earned from wins only) is just icing on the cake. While winning is nice, the true fun is in the journey, and thanks to ongoing updates that add new races, that journey will keep going on for quite some time.

Release February 13, 2019

Yes, it’s a battle royale game, and yes, it’s one of the best games in the genre. Released without prior announcements as a free-to-play Nintendo Switch game, _Tetris 99 _takes the classic puzzle game and turns it into all-out chaos by pitting 99 players against each other. You still play Tetris as you normally would, but have the choice of where to send your cleared lines, such as a random player or a player attacking someone else. Play too aggressively, and you’ll find multiple players launching attacks on your board, which can result in an early defeat. Play too defensively, however, and you risk leaving too many other players alive when the action begins to speed up. Knowing when to attack is just as important as mastering your piece-spins and hard drops, and even the best Tetris players will find a challenge when playing against so many others.

Treyarch a introduit avec succès un tout nouveau style de jeu dans leur série après plus d'une décennie, et nous sommes heureux qu'ils l'ont fait. Mode d'échauffement dans Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 se déroule sur une île qui présente des éléments et des emplacements de l'histoire de la série. Blackout fournit un énorme arsenal d'armes pour éliminer les ennemis, et contrairement au reste de la série, Blackout présente des véhicules, ce qui est un bon changement. Les armes se sentent aussi lisses que vous le pensez, et la conception détaillée de la carte vous permet de tracer votre prochaine embuscade ou de trouver des endroits pour abriter. Pall of Duty: Black Ops 4 comprend un mode zombies, et dans l'esprit de la structure des «plus grands succès» de Blackout, il y a aussi des ennemis morts-vivants à combattre dans la bataille Royale. Vous pouvez mettre à niveau votre arsenal en massacrant les morts-vivants, mais ce n'est pas aussi facile que cela puisse paraître car il pose une énigme dangereuse. Le déchargement des armes à feu bruyantes sur l'empiètement des morts-vivants vous donnera à d'autres adversaires à portée de voix, alors préparez-vous à des attaques sans arrêt.

Si vous aimeriez mélanger un certain fantasme avec votre Battle Royale, les choix peuvent se sentir un peu limités. Black Desert ’s shadow arena est sans aucun doute une belle option, mais notre favori personnel est le Spellbreak _spell. Ce jeu de style innovant a fière allure sans exiger trop de puissance de performance, et il a une profondeur incroyable pour ce qui est traditionnellement un système assez simple. Dans Spellbreak, les classes se concentrent sur divers éléments magiques que vous montez rapidement et personnalisez. Vous pouvez profiter des avantages des pouvoirs magiques invincibles en unissant les forces des sorts avec des alliés avant d'entrer dans une bataille. La combinaison de sorts confère le pouvoir d'évoquer des tempêtes électriques mortelles ou des tornades ardent qui peuvent vaincre tout ennemi. Chaque carte contient également des tonnes de potentiel, y compris des coffres cachés avec divers power-ups et armures traditionnels - ainsi que des boosts vraiment non traditionnels comme la capacité de voler ou de se téléporter. Si cela vous attire, cela devrait, car une fois que vous commencerez à jouer à ce jeu, vous serez accroché à ses batailles diverses et engageantes. C'est aussi un peu plus comme un MOBA que de nombreux royales de bataille, qui peuvent être rebutantes pour certains mais qui en valent finalement la peine. Bien que le jeu tourne autour de Battle Magic, nous sommes sûrs que vous apprécierez les avantages de ses options cosmétiques.
