Garena Free Fire takes a lot of its inspiration from Fortnite - ranging from battle royale gameplay to the quirky characters that players can choose to utilise. However, Free Fire manages to add its own spin to the BR theme, in that it requires only 50 players to begin a match.

Free Fire, owing to its small size, shorter action-packed matches, and simplistic graphics, is optimized to run even on low-end devices. This is arguably why it has such a massive fan following within the mobile gaming industry.

Rocket Royale is one of the few battle royale games that also incorporates the building feature that was originally adopted by Fortnite. Rocket Royale requires players to build a rocket using gathered resources, to then escape the arena in order to win.

However, players have to destroy each other’s rockets in order to sabotage progress, and thus, building forts to protect your own rocket becomes the main focus of the game. Rocket Royale also features similar graphics and textures as Fortnite.
