Totally Accurate Battlegrounds (TECO) is a multiplayer - Battle Royale - video game , which the Swedish studio landfall was developed. Released on June 6, 2018 as a spin-off of its predecessor Totally Accurate Battle Simulator , the game is a satire of the battle royal genre, with a strong emphasis on exaggerated player and weapon physics.
Gameplay
The game works similarly to other games in the Battle Royal genre, in which players have to traverse a shrinking safety area by collecting equipment and weapons to fight and eliminate opponents and aiming to be the last player left. The game differs, however, from a physics engine that creates exaggerated character movements when moving or using weapons (including heavy stretching of limbs and excessive kickback when using weapons), the ability to carry Akimbo weapons, and platforms of flowing lava that emerge from the ground in the last combat circle.
publication
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds was originally intended to be released as an April Fool's joke and served as a spin-off of the previous game Totally Accurate Battle Simulator . However, the release has been postponed to June 5, 2018 to address server issues with the game. Landfall stated that the game will be available for free on Steam for 100 hours after its release , after which it will cost $ 5 .
On November 8, 2018, Landfall announced that they would release a new update that would allow the game to be played for free. But on February 6, 2019, they announced that the update would be delayed because they wanted to work on Totally Accurate Battle Simulator .
reception
Kotaku said that Totally Accurate Battlegrounds was both a satire and a tribute to the genre, describing the average game as starting out with "insane onslaught of crazy, wave-arm waving players fighting over guns or just beating each other to death," and that with his "arbitrary" fights he succeeds in making every encounter seem surprising and highly risky. Rock, Paper, Shotgun noted that while the "crazy physics" was an "obsolete joke", the game offered several unique features over other games in the genre, including Akimbo weapons, a quickly buildable wall that was more of a barrier for the Safe Area served as an overarching "storm" rather than relying on microtransactions to obtain player skins. However, it was found that matchmaking times for games were long due to the smaller number of players compared to Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . In August 2018, the game was the 18th most popular game on Steam with over 27,000 players .
