Here I thought Tetris 99 was the weirdest game ever turned into a battle royale, but now you can also fight to the death in Scrabble. Royal babble is a new Scrabble-like battle royale where 16 players battle to be the last letters standing. You must create words in such a way that you escape from a closed area and attack other players by building their words. I really didn’t think it would work, but man, it absolutely does.
You start the game on a large board slightly away from your enemies. You must build your words from the first letter, and gradually move your words into the middle of the board (or towards other players) to get out of the hot zone. It’s okay if your old words end up outside, it’s just your most recent or “active” word that you need to worry about (you can also just add letters to the active word, not right your old content).
Of course, it won’t be a real battle royale if you can’t kill other players. So if you can connect the letters between your active word and theirs, you will eliminate them. Enemies also lose strength when they die.
Babble Royale is free to play On steam right away. It’s currently in early access so the developers of Everybody House Games can tweak it with feedback from players. They say it’s in Season Zero right now and will fully launch with Season One in three to five months.
I’m wondering if I can get my family to play this for Christmas. It was a heavy time for us, and Scrabble was always turning. I also always lose. Everyone’s like, “Oh, I don’t want to play with journalist, the word is yours Work“, then they proceeded to attack me. I think it’s time to get back to the spirit by making them play battle royale.
