Starting to play Fortnite Battle Royale. BagoGames
The online game you won’t be able to stop playing
The survival video game Fortnite Battle Royale arrived just a few months ago, but it has already managed to captivate users worldwide
Fortnite, the Battle Royale developed by Epic Games, is based on the base version of the video game Fortnite that came out in 2017 for the platforms Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
The excitement generated by this latest release is due to some key ingredients, such as the fact that it is free (not Pay2Win), that it can be played by many people, and that matches have a set time limit….
In fact, the Fortnite version based on the Battle Royale game mode arrived last September to be played on the same platforms. Therefore, we remind you of something very important: it is offered free of charge, so it is not necessary to own the main game to play a match and play again and again...
However, to play Fortnite on Google mobile devices, you will have to wait a little, because for now it only works on the IOS operating system, although it has already been confirmed that this summer you will also be able to play on tablets and mobiles running the Android operating system.
Thus, players who wish can connect to the same multiplayer Fortnite match from any device, even mobiles.
The open world of Fortnite opens a spiral of possibilities for players: without a doubt, it is one of the video games of the year and the web has been flooded with videos on YouTube showing each player’s skills to win and be the last one standing in a game where survival is the only thing that matters.
Why do we like it so much and why are we so hooked? We have dared to try to explain it to you…

The gameplay
Its Battle Royale method makes it much more thrilling and addictive: it combines elements of classic survival games with the challenge of being the last one alive while the match lasts.
The goal of this type of game like Fortnite is to be the last survivor among all the players participating in the game round (which in this case can be up to 100).
If you have a gang of friends as geeks as you, you can play in teams of up to four people and must defeat all the other players who have joined the match. Victory, if it happens, will be for all team members.
The time
The ticking of the clock is a key piece to create tension. What sets it apart from other games—like the recently released Far Cry 5—is the fact that Fortnite offers the mentioned Battle Royale mode, which means the match has a time limit in which players must develop their strategy to win. Otherwise, an electric storm circle will close in on all players and trap them.
The open world map becomes increasingly restricted until there comes a time when not even the most sheltered hiding place offers escape: players must come out and risk everything if they want to survive, as staying outside the safety circle will cause damage to the character and likely death.
The shelter
If there is something original in Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode, it is the building elements that allow you to construct your own shelters or escapes during the match. They can even make it harder for other players, whose mission is also to find and kill you.
Almost all elements found in the game can be turned into materials to build your hideout, so look for wood, stones, or metals to transform your space: the more intricate the structure your imagination can create, the better your chances of reaching the end alive.
The characters
You arrive in Fortnite’s open world by parachute: in the game, you are one of the commanders of one of the bases created worldwide after the arrival of a purple storm that turns creatures into “husks” (humanoid zombie-like beings).
In this dystopian world, where 98% of humans on Earth suddenly disappeared, the 2 percent of humans who survived found a way to build shields against the purple storms.
The next step for them is to send commanders armed only with a pickaxe to search for resources, more survivors, or more help to expand their shield and find a way to return Earth to its normal state.
This is how each match begins: your character arrives on the scene by parachute ready to be the last survivor, armed only with a tool to build their own world until the last one falls.
