I played the original Black Survival on mobile a long time ago. I'm not a fan of competitive games or do I enjoy Battle Royal type games, but I greatly enjoyed it's interesting spin on it. The world, the lore, and the characters gave a purpose for the game type with a strange emphasis to avoid battles early on and focus on crafting and building power before ambushing other unsuspecting people in order to be the last one alive.

Eternal Return: Black Survival takes the same formula and adds in the visuals I desperately wanted back when I played the original mobile game. The models and art style captures the character static art perfectly and the gathering, hiding, crafting, and possibly avoiding or going on a killing spree is all retained and expanded on. Unlike the original game where you went to an area and tapped the screen to search, you actively have to find search places as you run around.

This game is more about planning than it is about murder. Plotting routes to gather the materials you need for powerful gear as quick as possible is the prime objective. As areas start locking out, you'll find your routes and your plans fall apart and you have to scramble for alternatives, or everything can go perfectly and others start having to struggle. There's a lot of mechanics in play, to killing npc animals to improve your combat and hunting skills or simply running around to improve your movement speed with a skill leveling system taken straight from any popular moba, the game is honestly a very intriguing mix of various aspects combined in a way that just feels right.

While this game is still very new, there is a lot to love here. Even by people like me who don't normally enjoy these competitive pvp style games. Gathering, crafting, and hiding is equally relaxing and adrenaline inducing. For a free to play game that isn't demanding your money every screen, there is literally no reason not to give it a shot.
