Not necessarily with teenagers in the lead roles, but arguably with a fight at the end of which only one is left.

Cuisine Royale Second Edition: Fulfillment of All Desires has a cumbersome name even in abbreviated form. The game of the makers of Enlisted started in 2018 as an April Fool's joke and still uses many assets from the original game to this day. The developers actually wanted to make fun of the hype surrounding PUBG (buy now € 17.75) and created the game as a satire battle royale, in which you arm yourself with kitchen utensils and carry your weapons around in shopping bags.Little by little these items disappeared and in December 2020 Cuisine Royale was renamed. The arcade weapon control is much more beginner-friendly than with more realistic genre representatives, which means that even newbies sometimes meet opponents. Despite the departure from the satirical orientation, there are still supernatural items and skills, such as gravity boots, health-promoting cigars, zombie incantations and more. Most of the skills are unlocked by playing, but some are character-specific and tied to the champions you choose at the beginning. Crsed: F.O.A.D. Originally started as a parody of PUBG.

Z1 Battle Royale
After several spin-offs, amalgamations, realignments and developer changes, Z1 Battle Royale 2019 landed again with the original makers Daybreak Game Company. The game, which started as H1Z1, initially surprised with amazingly fun battle royale matches, although the title was actually designed for survival gameplay in the style of a DayZ.All the typical features of the genre are available: You start the round with a parachute jump, you have to get loot as quickly as possible after landing in order to defend yourself against 99 other players. The special thing about Z1, however, is that you can build temporary items such as fire arrows or bandages from scrap lying around. The crafting from the former main game was transferred to the Battle Royale offshoot, which makes Z1 Battle Royale stand out a bit from the crowd. Z1 Battle Royale ticks off all the typical genre elements of a Battle Royale. Source: Daybreak
Tetris 99
Something from the series of Battle Royale games is dancing Tetris 99. Here you don't have to kill your opponents, but in the good old Tetris tradition Stack blocks. But not alone, of course, because as the name suggests, you and 98 other players are about to break down blocks as effectively as possible. The important thing is to decide which opponents you send your successfully reduced ranks.You can let the game decide which of you will be targeted, but you can also attack the player with the highest tower, so maybe a KO dust off. That, however, puts you in the sights of the people who have the players with the most kill badges on the kieker. But you can also simply counter when you are attacked, and thus force the attacker into a duel. No matter which tactic you use, in the end whoever is left wins in the end. In Tetris 99 you don't shoot what you have got, but diligently dissolve rows. Source: Arika
Ring of Elysium
Ring of Elysium is PUBG with extreme sports - this is how you could summarize the game in a nutshell and would not be so wrong. Weapons, armor and items are very similar to the items in the PUBG model. The special skills in the form of bicycles, climbing equipment, grappling hooks and hang gliders provide additional tactical options. If you have a bike in your pocket, you can search for loot in a more relaxed manner, because with the bike you can cycle away from the deadly circle in no time. With the grappling hook you get to places where the opponents would never suspect you, so you can set up nasty ambushes. A snowboard was also available on the snow map that was played last season. Maybe it will come back in future updates, or we will get completely new gadgets.Another special feature of Ring of Elysium, which does not have that much influence on the gameplay, is the helicopter, which is used in the last circle appears and brings you to safety. There is room for four people in the helicopter, so you should hurry to avoid being left behind. In Ring of Elysium, the winner is not necessarily the one who holed up best until the end, but the one who seizes the chance at the right moment and sprints to the helicopter. Ring of Elysium is very reminiscent of PUBG, but brings its own twist to the genre with extreme sports. Source: Tencent Games
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is another outlier in our list that doesn't get fired up. You compete against each other with your bean-shaped figurines in several games. The whole thing is reminiscent of game shows like Wipeout or Takeshi's Castle. In some matches you have to compete against each other in races over an obstacle course or balance on platforms for as long as possible. In other games you compete in a team or have to steal items from your opponents. In the end, it all comes down to a grand finale, where the best - but sometimes the happiest - players fight for the crown.Fall Guys was available for free in PS Plus in August 2020 and reached a big one so early The crowd, but also on the PC, is extremely popular. On March 22nd, after the second season with medieval themes and the third season, in which it was wintry, the fourth season starts with the theme of the future. The color scheme and costumes are more reminiscent of the 80s, or rather the future as people imagined in the 80s. In addition, there is also a crossover with the popular indie game Among Us in the fourth season. Fall Guys achieved a steep rise thanks to its availability in PS Plus. Source: Mediatonic
Playerunknown's Battlegrounds
The game that started it all: Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is not the game that Battle Royale invented, but it sparked the hype about the genre and is still one of the best representatives of its kind. The realistic setting and the ballistics of the weapons make PUBG a demanding and difficult to master game. New modes and maps keep the experience fresh and encourage old hands to come back again and again. That is why PUBG is still one of the most played games on Steam, matches happen at any time in a few moments.Without weapons or equipment, you start every round in an airplane and have to go to a place quickly after the parachute jump where you first collect guns, vests and medipacks in order to be prepared for later fights. Then you slowly fight your way to the center of the circle, ideally without drawing too much attention to yourself. But you can also jump in the middle of a battle and jump off at a point where many players cavort thanks to the increased volume of loot. Then you pick up the first weapon you find, take the opponents by surprise and then heat the map with the loudest cart. Both tactics can lead to success, in the end only the one who survives the longest counts. The first Erangel card in PUBG has received a facelift. Source: PUBG Corp.
Call of Duty: Warzone
Call of Duty: Warzone was released in March 2020 as a standalone offshoot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Unlike its big brother, the Battle Royale version of Call of Duty costs nothing and can be downloaded separately from the main game. At the time, PUBG impressed with 100 players fighting each other at the same time, Warzone even surpassed that and sent 150 players into the fight for life and death. Special modes are even populated by 200 players and, according to the rumor mill, there will be 250 players simultaneously on one map from the next update. This makes Call of Duty: Warzone the biggest battle royale when it comes to the crowd, and the game is really good too.Gunplay is familiar to every Call of Duty player, man quickly finds its way into matches. Warzone offers a unique quest system: through contracts you upgrade your weapons, get important information or revive your fellow players. Contracts are missions that you can complete. This carries a certain risk every time, so you have to weigh up whether a contract is worthwhile. If you complete the mighty Most Wanted contract, for example, you will bring your entire team back from the realm of the dead. However, you will also be marked on the map for all other players, which will not make your survival easy. In Call of Duty: Warzone, most players can be on one map at the same time.

Spellbreak
Why not magic instead of creaking? This is what the developers of Spellbreak asked themselves and developed a battle royale that dispenses with shooting beating and instead provides your character with magical gloves. Before a round, your battle mage determines the element of his main hand. Other items such as a second magic glove, armor-enhancing belts, amulets that allow more mana to jump and special movement skills can be found in several levels of value on the battlefield. Each magic glove plays differently: For example, if you choose Frost as your main weapon, you zoom in on your opponents in the style of a sniper and charge your attack. If you aim your shot at the ground, you can skate on the frozen ground, with your secondary attack you freeze opponents, making them an easy target.With the elements stone, energy, frost, fire that were previously available , Storm and Poison you create combinations of the elements either with a second glove or with a teammate. The poison cloud is not causing enough damage? Set them on fire and blow them up! Spellbreak also looks really good, with its anime look it is reminiscent of the works of Studio Ghibli and thus stands out visually from other battle royales. Spellbreak currently promises to be one of the best games in the genre. The developers still have to address one problem: The magic gloves are not well balanced. If the team gets this problem under control, Spellbreak should soon enchant even more players. Spellbreak stands out with its great anime look. Source: PC Games
Apex Legends
The horse from Electronic Arts in the battle royale race goes by the name of Apex Legends. Developed by Respawn Entertainment, Apex Legends is set in the same universe as the Titanfall franchise. At the start of the round you choose one of currently 15 hero characters with their own abilities, which actually differ drastically in the way they play. In this respect, Apex Legends can best be compared with Overwatch.You have to go on the prowl in teams, for example, so team play and synergies between the various heroes are more in focus. If you have no friends, you are put into a squad with random players. A solo mode was also offered as part of an event, but was not well received because the skills of many heroes are designed for team play, so they were useless. So you still have to rely on a friend or two. The game is now in its eighth season, during which new heroes, cards and many other content are constantly being added to the game. So the content stays fresh. The heroes in Apex Legends play completely differently and have to use their common synergies. Source: Respawn Entertainment
