Knives Out (also named Wilderness Action) is a PUBG-styled battle royale game developed and maintained by the Chinese gaming giant NetEase. Launched in December 2017, Knives Out enjoyed millions of downloads and expanded rapidly as many players from around the world joined. By March 2018, Knives Out had earned $24 million for NetEase and remained on the top of PlayStore’s most downloaded games.
If you have already played PUBG or any other battle royale game, you will find yourself already familiar with Knives Out’s gameplay. The reason is simple; every battle royale game follows the same pattern; a lot of players, team combinations, ever-shrinking game arena, and survival of the fittest.
However, Knives Out is more than just a copy of PUBG and comes with some unique and colorful features that start surprising players from the very beginning. The game starts as the player jumps off a plane and you have to control the player’s parachute and land him safely on the specified point on the map.
The map looks similar to any other battle royale game; buildings of different sizes and styles scattered over a vast area. What’s new on the map is an ice-capped section and also a large castle that takes the one-on-one battle experience to the next level.
The unique features are not over yet! In your armory, you can have everything you wish to have. But there is something special that probably no other game has even thought of yet – Drones! Yes, you read it right. You can fly drones in Knives Out!
A few users are critical of the graphics; for example, the lack of graphics while moving inside the castle is quite visible. However, the average graphics are compensated for by some cool additions to the map plus the ability to fly drones.
All in all, Knives Out is a must-try game for the fans of battle royale games as it provides a nice competitive environment and some unique game features.
