Have you ever wanted to take on one hundred online players around the world by building up the best fort to take an advantage against enemies and get a really satisfying and hard worked win? Now you can through Fortnite Battle Royale.
There are two main modes in the whole Fortnite game package. These are Fortnite: Save The World and Fortnite: Battle Royale. I have not yet played Save the World so I can’t review it but I have played around 50 hours of Battle Royale.
The “Save the World” mode is described as a co-op sandbox survival game and is about exploration, scavenging items, crafting weapons, building fortified structures, and fighting waves of encroaching monsters. Tim Sweeney, Epic’s founder, described the game as “Minecraft meets Left 4 Dead”.
On the other hand, Fortnite: Battle Royale is a free game that you can download and play across all platforms (I think that the fact that it is free is kind of killing off their other mode because that is not free). Battle Royale is a massive multiplayer mode where you have a group of 95- 100 players trying to be the last man alive (you can play either: Solo, Duo or Squads).
You skydive and glide to a location on the map of your choosing and then the map gets increasingly smaller pushing you to a certain point on the map until everyone is dead but one. This is a clearly Hunger Games inspired like mode. You fight till you win or die. This is a cool game mode you have options to cut down trees and collect other resources like Bricks and Metal and create a fort and survive there until you are forced to move or you can be on the move constantly trying to find better gear to make yourself stronger and hopefully last longer.
In my opinion I prefer to play with friends in Duo or Squad mode because it is way more fun when compared to Solo mode but that is my personal preference and others have the right to say differently.
