Gameplay
We’re back with yet another battle royale game to see if they live up to PUBG Mobile and Fortnite. Grand Battle Royale is a blocky pixel game with similarities to Minecraft so I thought it looked like a decent game. Because as you know, we’ve gone through some pretty bad battle royale games.
The gameplay is definitely interesting. The first thing I noticed is that it’s on a much smaller scale than other battle royale games I’ve played. For example, there are about 20 people in a match, whereas PUBG has about 100, the map is much smaller and you can’t run nearly as fast. All of these are pretty big deal breakers in my eyes.
One of the things I love about battle royale games is they can last a pretty long time if you’re good at hiding and shooting down players quickly, but there aren’t any good hiding spots in Grand Battle Royale so you’re almost always exposed.
Graphics
Although the graphics aren’t quite on the same level as other battle royale games, it’s done on purpose. The graphics are supposed to be blocky pixel themed and honestly, I like it. I know it’s quite controversial but I think it works well in a game of this genre, but I’ve got to say I prefer more detailed graphics in general.
Music & Sounds
As for the sounds, during the gameplay, you can hear yours and other player’s footsteps. This helps you identify enemies coming towards so you can take them down. There’s no music so I was thankful because it would’ve too much at once.
Controls
The controls are where everything goes a bit downhill. As I said before, you can’t run very fast which definitely makes a big difference when it comes to escaping players shooting at you.
Another big deal breaker is the fact shooting at other players is extremely tricky. I found it so hard to aim at players because the controls are all in awkward places. As an update, an auto-shoot option would be more sufficient.

The Verdict
Grand Battle Royale has a lot of potential to be a good game, but the fiddly controls make me not want to continue playing. I understand that not all Battle Royale games can be as good as PUBG Mobile for many reasons, however, it just isn’t for me.
