FAU-G review: PUBG's indigenous alternative game lacks thrill, exhilaration
Bengaluru-based game studio nCore Games on
January 26 launched the much anticipated FAU-G (Fearless and United – Guards) for Google Android
devices on January 26. The indigenous mobile game has been downloaded by
millions in the country and emerged as one of the top gaming apps on the Google
Play Store. Touted by many as home-grown alternative to PUBG, which was among
the Chinese apps blocked by government over security concerns, is it as good or
the praises are hyperbole? Let’s find out:
FAU-G is currently available only for Android devices. It
is not available for Apple iPhones and iPads. The game is available to download
but its full version is still under development. For now, there is only a
single-player mode, and the Battle Royale and Team Deathmatch modes might be
added later by the developer.
The gameplay is simple and based on real-life events at Galwan
Valley, where the clash took place between Indian and Chinese soldiers on June
15, 2020. While the PUBG is
all about guns, Chicken Dinner, Loot, Team management, etc. the FAU-G is more about sticks, rods, besides punches and kicks. To get a
weapon in FAU-G, you will have to kill the enemies and pick whatever they
drops. You can only pick two weapons at a time that stay with you only for a
few seconds (and limited strikes) and you get resorted to kicks and punches
before you pick another weapon.
