Free PvP battle royale

What do you get when you combine a game show with a battle royale? You get Battlepalooza, an action battle royale game by nWay. The matches take place in real-world cities but the game itself is presented as a digital game show, with players from all over the world competing for limited prizes. nWay partnered with Google’s Real-World Games team to use Google Maps and feature recognizable locations into battle arenas. 

Small but action-packed gameplay

In Battlepalooza, you go head-to-head with 24 players in various cities like Las Vegas and San Francisco. There are team mode options available for you, like the Duos and Trios. In multiplayer mode, you will drop in and drop out of matches. It’s the same mechanic as other battle royale games—which speeds up the gameplay but also gives you the choice to go in and out of the game at your own pace.

This game is also intended to be more accessible than other battle royale games available. By combining elements of strategy games and luck-based outcomes, you’re more likely to emerge victorious with skill instead of being quick to react. The game plays from a top-down perspective, featuring a mix of systems from other games such as role-playing game loadouts and mid-match progression systems, common in multiplayer online battle arenas (MOBAs). 

You get to decide your unique loadout so make sure it fits your strategy at the start of each match. Weapons and skills can be upgraded throughout the game by collecting special items. You’ll need to know what items to equip and which to upgrade. This means you will need to understand your playstyle and the match situation. With a well-thought-out strategy, you have a good chance of winning. 

Great playing ground for beginners

Battlepalooza is similar to Fortnite and League of Legends with the top-down perspective to the gameplay; however, the player count is much lower—only 24 contestants—with a choice of Duo or Trio squads. The drop-in/drop-down collaborative gameplay offers more accessibility and little downtime between each round. Overall, it is a good alternative for beginners who want to start playing battle royales.
