I’m very glad that the developers put such emphasis on the guns. Seriously, it feels like a game mode for Call of Duty. In IoN, we receive an old-school Gun Game! (Also known as Arms Race in CS: GO) This gives us a great opportunity to check ourselves how the shooting mechanisms work against real players, without having to leave the entire match when dying.Īnd the shooting is fun! The best way to describe the gunplay is Modern Warfare. In contrary to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds or Fortnite, the lobby where players can only run around aimlessly like headless chickens trying to poke each other with fists or pickaxes is completely different. This feature might be suggesting high inclination for eSports competitivity, once fully released. The thing that distinguishes the IoN from other games in the Battle Royale world is the training room, where players can get familiar with the types of weapons, attachments, bullet physics and bullet spread. We can see our avatar in full armour and this is also the place where we will spend earned in-game currency on boxes that contain random skins (yes, IoN offers a fully fledged skin system).Īs for match options, there are no differences to other Battle Royale games, including duos, teams of 4, etc. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, the developers decided to embrace a similar menu style.
Islands of Nyne welcomes us with a menu very similar to PUBG or Fortnite, which is not necessarily a bad thing. While employing a science-fiction setting supported by fast-paced gameplay, the game has a real chance of becoming one of the most popular Battle Royale shooters out there.Īlthough the game offers some backstory to it, besides the tooltip on the loading screen speaking of Recruiters hauling Earth’s famous buildings (like the Colosseum) to the Dome, the player is not given much information - perhaps due to the game still being in early development stages. A relatively new player has joined the Battle Royale playing field, and it is none over than Islands of Nyne.
