When you are eventually downed, you won’t be forced to crawl in the way so many other BR games opt for. The toss up is these items take time to build, and anyone in the vicinity can see you’re building them, so forging often turns into a makeshift scenario as opponents rush to grab your newly forged gear.

Gather enough and you can build anything from armour potions to full weapons at these locations. Shards are a material currency that can be used at forges, which serve as crafting stations across the map. In Realm Royale, all that gear you don’t want can be broken down into shards. Sometimes you find the weapon you want, you might be forced to battle with something you’re not accustomed to or maybe you’ll die in the first 30 seconds of a match. It’s a generous approach within an unforgiving format, but that’s not where the looting ends.īR games often come down to chance. Now you can run up to any chest and - as long as there’s been a brief passing of time before it was last looted - bag lots of goodies. As we’ve mentioned, there are chests everywhere, but these don’t remain empty once they’ve been looted.
It’s the first clue that Heroic Leap (the internal studio at Hi-Rez working on Realm) is pushing freedom and agency at every opportunity. So, you can build a playstyle from the off, with a class that works for you, but you can still drop abilities and weapons on the fly, should the situation demand it. You can still use any weapon and any special ability while playing as a Warrior, Hunter, Assassin and Mage, but as you progress each one you’ll unlock unique traits (such as the Warrior’s power to heal squadmates with a shout).

Instead of starting out with an avatar that’s only distinguishable by its skin or whether it can perform a prepubescent dance move, now there are four classes.
Even the cartoonish art style will remind you of Fortnite’s similarly colourful aesthetic.īut spend a couple of hours in its company and you soon realise Realm has far more in common with Paladins: Champions of the Realm (the game in which Realm originated as a BR mode) and a more traditional MMO. There are chests to open, guns and loot to equip and a shrinking eye that periodically forces players into a smaller and smaller arena. 100 players launch from a wooden blimp and skydive down into one huge, open map. Realm Royale rewards skill, map awareness and tactical prowess as much as any of its contemporaries, but balances that by offering more ways to empower you as a player (especially if you’re a little less experienced with this kind of game). It’s an addictive roll of the dice for some, but an utter bore for others. Because BR games can be the most frustrating experiences: spending 15 minutes looking for the right gun, only to have someone snipe you from a distance and force you right back to the start of the cycle. Now in its Beta phase on Nintendo Switch (and every other platform for that matter), Realm has been slowly evolving its core systems in order to keep the mechanics that set it apart from Fortnite - easily the biggest BR draw on Nintendo’s current-gen hardware - while trying to make the whole experience more enjoyable. Its time in the sun came last summer, and while its player base dwindled to Anthem levels, publisher and developer Hi-Rez Studios wasn’t ready to give up so easily. Usually when a BR title stumbles into obscurity - or experiences a brief 15 minutes of popularity - they tend to stay gone. Plenty of games have attempted to grab a piece of this lucrative pie over the last couple of years, but for every Fortnite, PUBG and Apex Legends there are countless others that have failed to capture that same zeitgeist. In 2019, few genres are quite as fickle and difficult to predict as battle royale.
