Totally Accurate Battlegrounds Review

Originally developed as an April Fools’ joke by Landfall Games in 2018, Totally Accurate Battlegrounds delivers the laughs in a parody of the battle royale genre.

Totally Accurate Battlegrounds sets the theme from the moment you land in the lobby. You’re presented with a humanoid figure — not a good-looking human specimen by any means. It’s more of a rounded human body with the head of one of the characters from Worms.

Just below your worm-human hybrid is the option to randomize his or her (it’s very unclear) outfit. You can’t choose awesome skins you’ve unlocked. You can’t create a style combo that will leave your enemies in awe of your fashion sense. All you can do is randomize your outfit. And the combos are terribly coordinated. It’s wonderful.

You get a pirate hat with a suit. A king’s crown with a dressing gown and caveman-like belt. A shower cap with any of the options is hilarious. There’s a chicken head and jester hat, which pair terribly with everything — again, wonderful — and so many more beyond those.

Before you start the game, you’ll spend a good amount of time seeing what combos the randomizer throws at you. You’ll inevitably be left regretting that one good option from a few clicks back and can’t seem to get again.
