Fortnite has become the trending game for months now thanks to its Battle Royale mode. Malavida's editors give their views on the popular online multiplayer:

I have always been a supporter of more realistic shooters, but Fortnite's success has to be recognized, and the fact that it has been able to unite a huge community of users around the game, many of them not very familiar with the genre. Maybe the most experienced users will opt for other games, but Fortnite is the ideal free option for those who are looking for massive games, gameplay, and fun for free and with everything you can ask for in a game of these characteristics.

This is the big game trending among the young and not so young for a long time now, even after disappearing from the official stores outside Epic Games. One of the reasons is that you can play without spending a single dollar, but there is more. In addition to being free, in-app purchases are only aesthetic improvements in terms of costumes, dances, or accessories, so that the game is never unbalanced between those who pay to play and those who do not.
Learning how to play is easy, especially since the inclusion of the Party Royal mode, and the rules are simple. However, surviving more than ten minutes, being considered good, and even winning games, is not that easy.
Another great advantage is the continuous updating. Epic Games works hard to keep its players interested by introducing new challenges, daily quests, and character skins from almost every franchise imaginable. This way, the community is never bored.

This is for sure one of the best games in recent years, a true revolution in the battle royale genre, where PUBG and Free Fire, among others, also stand out on mobile. Since its release, it became a mass phenomenon that everyone was talking about, from children to parents, through general media, and now, its popularity has been increased even more by the controversy between Apple and Epic Games, which, fortunately, has not affected Android users. One of those games that need to be on the smartphone of any serious gamer.

I think it is a good shooter although I am more a fan of games with more realistic aesthetics, such as PUBG. I do not think I like the kind of sense of humor it uses, I prefer stories that inspire more seriousness. In any case, I preferred the already legendary Duke Nukem 3D.

It is a very entertaining game, and although it is played by children, it is still one of the least violent shooters on the market. In addition, children generally take it easy.
The keys to its success are its free-to-play model, the cross-platform gameplay, the great number of possibilities offered in its creative mode, and above all, the Battle Royale mode, being one of the first games to offer such a mode. For Epic Games, it is important to keep Fortnite updated and add new features so you can continue to enjoy it as the months go by.
As a video game lover, what I miss the most is a serious story mode, designed to be played alone. We will probably see it someday, as Epic Games has laid the foundation for a franchise with its own characters, locations, and hallmarks.
Fortnite is not a game that certainly has few things wrong with it. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage is in the aesthetics, something that everyone who likes shooters is not completely happy with because they prefer games with a more realistic look. As advantages, we can }highlight the different ways to enjoy the battle royale mode and its fluid and almost frenetic gameplay style.
