Well, there you go, a brand new adventure! Here we are, out in the Enchanted Desert of Infinite Possibilities, also known as the pulsating, heart-stopping world of Xbox Series X/S! Can you feel it? I can feel it. It’s like you’ve just rub my lamp! Instead of three wishes, you my friend, you get FIVE video game suggestions! Brace yourself, ’cause this ain’t no magic carpet ride, it’s gonna be a good one, I can tell you that!
So you’re a Fortnite fan, huh? Well, step right up, my intrepid explorer of cartoon carnage! Let me pull out my proverbial video game treasure chest and share some Genie approved fighting-game spectaculars on Xbox Series X where you can bring your battle royale love. And remember, it’s not just about winning, it’s how stylish your swagger is when you do!
1. BRAWLHALLA:
First off, we have the button masher’s dream, Brawlhalla! So you like Fortnite, eh? Picture this: Fortnite and Super Smash Bros. having a baby. Adorable, right? That’s Brawlhalla for ya! It’s a free-to-play 2D fighter that thrives on chaos. It’s got everything you need: crazy combos, larger than life characters, and an unfathomable number of weapons! It’s got a lighthearted graphical style akin to our beloved Fortnite. Not to mention it’s as fun to watch as it is to play! With this, you can give your ruining-spooky houses-with-a-contraption lifestyle a break. Ready to settle scores like a gladiator? Brawlhalla should be your first stop.
2. KILLER INSTINCT:
Knocking on door number two, we find, Killer Instinct. Now, this ain’t your regular, everyday, run-of-the-mill beat ’em up! It’s a cacophony of combos that requires quick thinking and faster fingers! And hey, it’s another Fortnite feather in the cap as this game too, has a free-to-play aspect. It’s got characters that are, let’s just say ‘unconventional’. Are you ready to muster command over a werewolf or a ghost? Sound familiar? Sounds like you got a smorgasbord of Fortnite’s eccentric, unpredictable approach here! And the best part: It’s got more special effects than a Fourth of July fireworks show!
3. TEKKEN 7:
Stepping into the ring, it’s Tekken 7, the godfather of 3D fighting games! Now, you might be thinking, “But Genie, there aren’t any building mechanics here!” And you’re right, my Fortnite aficionado. But there’s more to Fortnite than just forts! As a Fortnite player, you’re used to playing with a huge roster of characters with their own unique abilities. Tekken 7 gives you just that with a sprawling cast of characters, each with their own move sets and grappling mechanics. And during the intros, oh boy, I tell ya, our Fortnite crew could learn a thing or two about making an entrance from these guys!
4. MORTAL KOMBAT 11:
Ah, Mortal Kombat 11. Now this, this is a spectacle. It’s got all the blood and guts that would give the Fortnite Island a run for its money during Fortnitemares! Much like Fortnite, Mortal Kombat 11 loves to swap out the scenery and offer a variety of different maps. And the fatalities! They give even a rocket launcher at point-blank range a run for its V-Bucks! With a comprehensive ‘Krypt’ (you’re digging the pun, ain’t ya?) of customizable parts, it feels like a fighting Royale’ of choice. So put on your game-face, and your boxing gloves – same time!
5. INJUSTICE 2:
Last but not least, we have an all-time classic, Injustice 2. Superheroes bashing each other up? Oh, you mean like playing Fortnite during a Marvel crossover event? Injustice 2 is basically that, on steroids. Its gargantuan ensemble cast parallels Fortnite’s mix of esteemed guests and lovable lunatics. Plus, much like our beloved Island, you can use the environment to your advantage in battle. And then there’s the “Gear System”—as tantalizing and interesting as Fortnite’s Battle Pass rewards.
Now comes the real fun part – the Best Choice and the Why! Ta-ta-tum! Drumrolls please! Given your love for Fortnite and its madness, I’d recommend the delightful chaos of Brawlhalla, no questions asked! It’s a power-packed pugilistic party in a Fortnite-style cartoon world. And hey, it’s free! It caters to our communal love for dynamic characters and wacky weapons while offering the kind of epic battles you’ve grown to love in Fortnite. So there you have it – five exciting battles and the champion to rule them all! Now, go forth, my friend, conquer and score victory ‘Royales’ in all new ways. The world, or in this case, the Xbox Series X/S, is your oyster!
