If there is an online multiplayer game that has attracted attention in recent months, it has been PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. And it is that it is a quite crazy approach that leads you to the most instantaneous action against 99 other players. Something that can not only be enjoyed on computers and Xbox game consoles. Mobile developers have not missed the opportunity to release their own unofficial versions Among them we couldn't help but get hooked on Grand Battle Royale for a few hours. And it's also free on Google Play.
This is a version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds adapted to Android mobiles. Also, to make matters worse, the game somewhat mimics the checkered and pixel aesthetic of Minecraft. So it becomes instantly recognizable, friendly and fun. That yes, with many fewer players, but with the same philosophy of agreements and betrayals of the original game.
All against all
The concept in Grand Battle Royale is maintained. You choose your avatar, which you can customize after raising money by winning a few games, and you start playing. An airplane allows you to parachute almost anywhere on the island where the action takes place. The whole place is semi-ruined, and also full of weapons and first-aid kits From here on, collaborating or massacring the rest of the players is up to each one.
Now, survival does not only depend on our ability to kill other enemies. In addition, it must be taken into account that the playing area is reduced as the seconds pass. A kind of blue force field marks the safe area in which to play. Outside of it our life gradually descends. With this, Grand Battle Royale manages to gather the remaining players in the same part of the map The slaughter is a matter of time.
Better with remote control
In our experience we have been able to verify how a mobile shooter can become uphill. And it is that walking through a destroyed land, where there is rubble, buildings and vehicles, forces us to look with zeal in any direction. Something that is done by sliding your finger across the screen. It is fast, but not comfortable when aiming and shooting with the weaponSomething that creates even more tension during the game.
We are also not comfortable having to click on the weapon icon that appears on the screen to pick it up from the ground This slows down the process and allows us to exposes. For the rest, the title is agile, and you just have to have a bit of ease to go through the mapping. Of course, much better if a command or controller is used.
Money and companionship
The key is to get the highest number of kills at the end of each round. With this we will achieve a larger booty of money. In the end, it is only used to unlock new skins and show off your position and experience in the game Something that, on the other hand, is not easy at all.
Grand Battle Royale has a chat to be able to communicate with the rest of the players during the gameIt solves certain communication problems, but it is not the most desirable. You have to click on the space, write with the full screen of the keyboard and then see if we have not died. But at least the option to send messages to the rest of the players works. It's even useful for setting up alliances on the island to gather players together before the game.
In short, a game that meets the needs of playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on Android phones. It is the best option, although it is not a good game for that reason As a positive point, it must be said that, with a good Internet connection, there are no interruptions or lag. As a negative point is its control, which is somewhat clumsy and uncomfortable.
