The game that made battle royale a global craze: 100 players parachute onto a large map, scavenge weapons and fight inside a shrinking zone. It's slower, more grounded and more tactical than its successors.
Kit's verdict · 7.6/10
Clunky, tense and historic. Nothing beats a PUBG final circle for pure nerves.Kit · Sadkitty Games
Loved
- Realistic, tense gunfights
- Large, varied maps
- Free to play since 2022
Not so much
- Clunky movement and looting
- Long stretches with nothing happening
Play it if players who like a slow, realistic and tactical survival shooter.
Skip it if anyone who wants constant action or arcade-style movement.

Tips
Play it better
- Hold Alt to look around freely while you keep running in a straight line.
- Use Q and E to lean around cover, so you show only part of your body.
- Set the zeroing distance on scopes with Page Up and Page Down for long-range shots.
- Pick up a frying pan. On your hip it blocks bullets from behind.
- Drink energy drinks and painkillers to fill your boost bar, which slowly heals you and speeds you up.
- Drive into the next circle early. Vehicles are loud but fast, so park them as cover when you stop.
