Rumbleverse

Rumbleverse was a free-to-play brawler battle royale video game developed by Iron Galaxy and published by Epic Games Publishing. The game was released for Windows via Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on August 11, 2022. The servers shut down on February 28, 2023, six months after launch. Rumbleverse was a battle royale game played from a third-person perspective. 40 players will be dropped into Grapital City or Low key key and they must fight against each other with the goal of being the last survivor. Unlike similar games in the market, Rumbleverse focuses on melee combat, and players have no access to any gun or firearm. Players have several base attacks, including punches, kicks, and elbow drops. Basic attacks can be blocked, while stronger attacks or in other words vicious attacks are unblockable and must be dodged instead. At the beginning of a match, players must explore Grapital city or Low key key and collect magazines hidden inside boxes that can teach players special moves from special strikes all the way to unblockable vicious attacks, along with that players can use potions that increase the player's stats such as health, stamina and strength. Only a maximum of 10 potions can be used in solos, 8 in duos and finally a maximum of 6 in trios. Melee weapons, such as baseball bats and chairs, can be picked up and used as weapons against other opponents. Every building in the game is climbable, allowing players to quickly navigate through Grapital City and reach strategic positions while in a quick fight or in an intense endgame. Similar to other battle royale games, players must stay within a shrinking circle. When the player is outside the circle, a timer will begin counting down from 10. Players will be disqualified once the timer reaches zero. Iron Galaxy estimated that each match will last around 12–15 minutes. Rumbleverse utilized a battle pass model. As players complete matches and progress in the game, they will earn Fame, which was considered xp in other games that gives random items everytime you level up in the fan mail leagues. Players can also purchase Brawlla Bills, another type of currency which can be purchased through microtransactions.
