How is it that this buy to play FPS that had a significant budget got so outperformed by a run of the mill lobby based shooter? Argo performed equally poorly on Steam despite offering an innovative new experience with an emphasis on realism. Compare that to the recent open beta of Lawbreakers, an innovative new arena shooter from Boss Key Studios / Nexon which only got 4,500 or so concurrent users and quickly fell off each day of the open beta. Those numbers came down a bit of the last week, but it still gets 7,000 – 10,000 concurrent players. Despite not offering anything new the game had over 13,000 concurrent users. Everything from the game’s interface to to core gameplay mechanics reminds me of other Korean tactical shooters. It’s a very traditional Korean lobby based tactical shooter that plays almost exactly like Combat Arms or Alliance of Valiant Arms.

I was perusing some new free to play games on Steam the other day and I ended up trying this new shooter from Neowiz Games called Black Squad. It’s existed in numerous older games like Shaiyafor example and even in some form through hardcore mode in Path of Exile or Diablo 3, but no other game has used it as a means of progression. Permadeath in and of itself isn’t new to MMORPGs.
It’s actually an innovative concept and something no other MMORPG seems to have done. So the higher level and better geared a character is on death, the more Valr acquired and the better legacies they’ll have access to. Players kill enemies, gain experience, acquire loot, and upon death they gain a special currency called Valr which can be used to gain legacies, which are passive permanent stat boosts which are carried over and applied to all future characters. Unlike Realm of the Mad God though where death is extremely punishing, dying is a mechanic in Survived By which must be used to grow stronger. Once a character dies, it’s dead forever.
What makes both of these two games special is that they both feature a permadeath system. The core gameplay in Survived by is remarkably similar to another game called Realm of the Mad God. Survived By launched on Steam on December 5th, 2018 and it’s a unique new free to play MMO by the U.S.
