Z1 Battle Royale is an exciting, if not bizarre, the battle royale video game developed and released by Daybreak Game Company. The game’s creation started after the cancellation of the first H1Z1 game, which was in development before the release of its competitor. Game developer Neocities stepped in to develop the new game as a result. In spite of a mediocre story and some buggy gameplay, Battleroyale is still one of the most enjoyable massively multiplayer online games around.
Battle royale is the spiritual sequel of the popular first H1Z1 game. It introduces a number of new characters such as the gamer character of Z1 himself, and it throws them into the deep waters of a war-torn world where zombies rule the day. Z1, now known only as Z, has survived his suicide and was left alone after the destruction of his home and those of his friends. Now, he has to join forces with six other survivors and find a way to escape from the underground tunnels. Together, they must battle the growing horde of zombies who seem to be multiplying out of control.
The storyline in Z1 Battle Royale begins at the beginning of the year, as Z and his friends are running through the woods one evening. They encounter a pack of violent animals and a massive amount of poisonous gas, which is funneled through the tunnels. However, they manage to reach safety in an abandoned cabin. Here, they meet the eccentric gamer character, Z, who is in need of some serious adventure and has no intention of following any path, leading the others to the cabin.
As the game progresses, we get to learn more about the group of friends, including how they managed to survive the night in the cabin and why they were forced to take on the dangerous tasks at hand. In the third season of Z, we also see that despite the danger and strange events, Z manages to achieve a certain level of happiness, albeit temporary. After his adventures, he vows to help the others as well and become the top player in the third season. This leads him to join a game called Z1 Battle Royale. His quest to become the best gamer attracts many players and he teams up with various people, who happen to be ranked at the same level as him, such as Rankings Girl, Charmaine, and Toodee.
The early access for Z1 Battle Royale enables us to get a better understanding of the game mechanics as well as the overall game design. The online community for the game is composed of a large number of players from all around the world, who share their opinions, criticism as well as excitement regarding this game. It is through these discussions that we get to learn about the changes that the developers have made and which ones seem to be having the biggest impact on players’ opinions. The official website even has video clips, giving us a peek at some of the latest updates that the team has made. All of these changes have been implemented in the patch notes. The videos can be played here.
One of the most recent additions to the z1 battle royale game killing mechanics is the toxicity gas that players are prompted to breathe every time they are hit by another player or character. The reason why this poison gas is implemented is to simulate the feeling of breathing in insecticide after being bitten by a real insect. This explains why some players are starting to get headaches as a result of continuously breathing in toxic gas. The developers have responded to complaints about this matter by making the time period for when the poison gas will be applied, longer and requiring players to use a weapon to apply it.
Another major change in the game is the introduction of the ‘zerg rush’, whereby a player can quickly overwhelm another player’s base using only one unit. The Zerg Rush button, located on the right hall button on the map, has changed to a hotkey. Players are now required to click the hotkey at least once to trigger an attack on another player. Hotkeys can now be customized according to keyboard layout settings, giving everyone the opportunity to find the right combination for their needs.
Daybreak is still in testing and is yet to reach full release, but with the recent updates to z1 battle royale, it is evident that the game is on its way to becoming a popular online multiplayer shooter with a lot of potentials. As with any new game, Daybreak has a leveling system, where players start off with only a few units and earn more units as the game progresses. New weapons and perks are introduced as the game progresses, providing new challenges to players. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what Daybreak will offer.
