What it is
Realm Royale is a battle royale game from Hi-Rez Studios, released in 2018 for Windows. It pairs class-based play with weapons and magical abilities in a fantasy setting, where players loot, craft gear at Forges and try to outlast a deadly fog. Players can choose abilities suited to each match, from a Grapple Hook and Decoy to a Healing Totem or Proximity Mine. Forges can also be used to craft powerful abilities and equipment or bring back fallen teammates, though crafting leaves a player exposed to attack. The game supports multiplayer and online PvP, and squads can work together to reveal enemies or support one another. Its listed Steam features include partial controller support and Family Sharing. One listed store notice says services for the title will shut down on February 17, 2025, a relevant limitation for anyone considering its online play.
