Ring of Elysium Review

The battle royale genre is its own battle royale, with titles constantly competing to be the number one choice for players. Ring of Elysium, tipped to be the next PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, is one of the candidates fighting for a place at the top.

The first thing you should know about Ring of Elysium is that it’s free to play. You can pick it up on Steam or directly from the game’s site. However, developer Aurora Studio needs to make money somehow, so there are plenty of in-game transactions to test your willpower.

The in-game purchases are entirely cosmetic. You can unlock new characters, character skins, weapon skins, accessory skins, and even vehicle skins. You earn a little bit of currency as you play. But if there are things you really want, you’ll almost certainly be dipping into your wallet to purchase them.

Seasonal Passes

The popular thing for battle royale games to do now is have seasonal passes that give players access to unique loot for a limited amount of time. The passes also have challenges for players to complete for more loot or in-game currency.

It’s a good strategy for a game that relies on people doing the same things repeatedly. By giving players challenges, it forces them to play the game in different ways and gives them goals to work toward. Nothing keeps a player going like a goal.
