Radical Heights
From the title and the image alone, you honestly wouldn't expect this game to be in the battle royale genre, but it certainly is, and it deserves it spot. Radical Heights is yes, another battle royale game, but this one is surprisingly different enough to warrant its own existence in the battle royale world.
When you think of battle royale, you tend to think more realistically and less about the cartoon-ish graphics. Luckily, Radical Heights sort of turns its attention away from the realism, and makes a game that looks and feels like you've just jumped into a 80's action movie. From the character customization all the way to the soundtrack, this game goes the extra mile to ensure that it is legitimately trying to pull off an 80's action movie, or even a game show, which I think is a bit more fitting as a description.
I mean, just listen to this and you'll see what I mean:
This is the music that plays when you get thrown out into the battle and are shooting your way down the ground. What's really awesome alongside that is that you don't have a parachute or anything. You just skydive and crash on the ground and start playing. I love that solely because not only does it make the matches go quicker, you don't have to worry about where you land most of the time because you land so quickly and people already start looting and running away. So mostly no danger wherever you land.
The game itself plays like a typical battle royale game. You land, you loot, you fight, you win or lose. I myself have not won a single game, but I average close to 3-4 kills almost every round. The gunplay makes it fun so it's pretty easy to get a kill, in my experience at least. I've also gotten into the top 10 many times, but god damn those last minutes of the match are definitely stressful. No idea where anybody is while also hearing gunfire in the distance. Most if not all battle royale games have that, but it's great when it is included.
You're probably also wondering about queue times. Honestly, every time I have played this game over the past few months, I've never had issues finding full servers. I think that's a credit to the games originality because it's getting people to come back over and over again. I haven't played it much lately but if it's been updated recently, I may have to check it out. It's still in very early stages, but from what we have right now, you can expect this game to be one of the top dogs in battle royale. I mean, Realm Royale is probably going to hit that place first seeing as its popularity has not died out, but I think Radical Heights will be close behind it.
So, I'd say this game is great. Yeah it's another battle royale game, and I know we've been getting thrown a lot of those lately. But I appreciate the aesthetic and all the originality this game oozes. It's a lot of fun to play, and you don't really feel too bad when you lose because the matches are so easy to get back into that you hardly noticed you lost. Hope to see it succeed in the future.
