The battle royale genre has exploded in recent years with Fortnite and PUBG. In response, DICE introduced Battlefield V: Firestorm, a multiplayer mode for Battlefield V that brings battle royale into the long-running shooter franchise. While it’s not necessarily the highlight of the latest installment in the series, Firestorm is another reason to join Battlefield V.
Already in Firestorm’s favor is the fact that it is in a Battlefield game. The best elements of the series only enhance the experience. It’s gorgeous – the maps are detailed and suitably gigantic. And Battlefield V’s particularly smooth controls are still gameplay highlights. The series’ large-scale battles also fit perfectly into the battle royale genre, despite its more realistic feel.
Tone
What makes Firestorm unique among the industry’s Sea of Battle Royale titles? Well, the differences are minor, and this is a double-edged sword. Using Fortnite as a point of comparison, the immediately noticeable difference is the tone of the game.
While Firestorm’s goal is still to become the last one standing, Battlefield’s visual realism is obviously a very different aesthetic from Fortnite’s colorful and more accessible look.
Battlefield’s first-person perspective also shakes things up. While the first person retains the immersion, some players may prefer the wider range of vision offered in third person battle games.
