Battlelands Royale might be a battle royale multiplayer, but it has a spectacular twist to it. The game starts with only 32 players and a typical match lasts about five minutes. Players can play solo or duos, but the real clincher is its graphics and style of play.

It is like a kid's version of battle royale with cartoon characters, mini guns and bazookas. Overall, the game seems a fun time killer and a great change for players who are bored with typical shooter games like PUBG and CoD.

Fortnite is not a recent game, and its initial release in July 2017 gave tough competition to PUBG, and even surpassed it on PC and other platforms. However, the game still struggles to hit the top spot in the mobile gaming space. Powered by Unreal Engine 4, the game feels and looks good.

Just like other platforms, players can build and destroy, and be creative while battling their way through the battle royale maps. Fortnite is yet to shine on the Android platform, but it has an excellent reputation on Apple’s mobile devices.
