Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is a new multiplayer game that developers place in the battle royale genre – even though there are no fights at all. Instead, you have to master an obstacle course.
What is Fall Guys? When it comes to the term Battle Royale, most people probably think of fast multiplayer battles where players fight each other with weapons until only one remains.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout does without weapons. You run as a kind of potato creature over an obstacle course. Your task is to overcome all obstacles and be the first to reach the finish line. This brings a lot of chaos, as you have to try to push your opponents to make them tumble down abysses or get stuck on walls.
Each obstacle course offers new challenges. For example, it might also be necessary to shoot a ball into a goal to proceed.
What makes the game special? If you watch the trailer for the game, it seems that Fall Guys is just pure, fun chaos. Watching the little, cute characters wobble around trying to overcome obstacles and pushing each other, it’s definitely something that is great for parties.
Fall Guys therefore resembles the mini-games of the Mario Party series a bit. It could be just as much fun.
How many players compete against each other? In each match, up to 60 players try to reach the finish line as quickly as possible. This is pretty funny to watch on the often narrow paths. And of course, the little guys squeeze through tight openings, which leads to traffic jams.
How to customize your character: To make the rounds even more fun, you can give your character colorful and crazy costumes and hats. This makes each match a colorful, chaotic fun as the wildly dressed characters waddle around.
You can unlock new costumes as rewards by winning rounds in the game.
When does the fun start? Fall Guys releases on August 4th for PS4 and PC. The PC version will be published via Steam. You can already pre-order the game for around 20 euros.
If you want to play a battle royale where fights with weapons are replaced by an obstacle course, then you should keep an eye on Fall Guys.
