Fortnite

Most of the planet was destroyed by a cataclysm, which led to the emergence of strange creatures resembling zombies. The survivors named them "brain-eaters." The last representatives of humanity fend them off while hiding in whimsical shelters made from various materials. Along the way, they try to understand the reasons behind the strange purple storm that started it all.

The online shooter Fortnite originally launched as a cooperative game where a group of four players must destroy waves of enemies and complete missions on the map. Later, a free-to-play "Battle Royale" mode was introduced, designed for 100 players, where the last one standing wins. Both game modes are popular due to dynamic gameplay, a lengthy story campaign, or intense battles with other players, and extensive upgrade options that keep players coming back to the game again and again.

1) Random generation of all content: level landscapes, buildings and roads, types of missions and tasks, types of rewards and loot, weapon blueprints, ammunition, and other necessary items.

2) Resource gathering from three basic and a dozen additional materials for creating walls and other barriers, various traps, weapons, ammunition (blueprints required), and other necessary items.

3) Building and destructible environments. Everything in the game can be broken down and repurposed, for example, to build a safe corridor for evacuating survivors or a fortress for self-defense. Enemies can also destroy all structures, so watch out!

A purple cosmic storm of unknown nature struck Earth. It immediately turned 97% of the planet's population into dozens of diverse brain-eaters that resemble zombies in some way. Different brain-eaters perform different functions during attacks and become more aggressive and stronger during the storm. Survivors found a way to protect themselves from the threat by building energy shields that guard their settlements. The player starts as the leader of one such settlement, needing to provide for their residents, find other survivors, seek allies to expand the anti-storm shield, and figure out how to restore Earth to its normal state.

The main menu of Fortnite serves as the player's base, featuring a map of the game world with missions, character selection menu, upgrade menu, etc. At first, everything will be surrounded by purple fog, but as the story progresses, it will recede further from the base. The main goal is to permanently destroy the storm and return the planet to its usual state; however, the process is planned to take 500 hours or more. In Fortnite, side missions are closely tied to the storyline, and shocking details can only be uncovered by completing 3-5 side missions.

Four hero classes (soldier, builder, ninja, and gatherer, the meaning of which is clear from the name) are divided into five types: common, rare, epic, legendary, and mythical. The last type of character has more levels for upgrading, maximum abilities, and skills that can be unlocked compared to the first. During the mission, the Fortnite player embodies a character-operator, meaning you can try out all their types and kinds. To upgrade characters, you need to gain experience obtained during missions and development points, which are activated using special items and after unlocking skills.

This is the main game mode that can be played with friends or alone with bots. Gather resources, complete missions, build structures, set traps, and shoot enemies. If you complete all the quests exactly as the game requires, you will receive additional bonuses — money, experience, development points, blueprints, etc. The further you are from your base, the harder the game will be. You need to unlock the entire game area.

The battle royale in Fortnite takes place on one giant map, and no gameplay feature, including building and crafting, has been removed. But you can stay focused and just look for weapons, ammo, traps, and other items that are randomly distributed in houses, trees, cars, and similar places. Over time, a purple storm surrounds the island, so you can't stay in one place for long — you will have to move toward the center of the map, where it is much more dangerous.

A total of 100 players participate, but there will be only one winner. Cooperative mechanics are available, where you can compete with opponents in squads or duos, and revive fallen teammates. You need to shoot carefully, as friendly fire also deals damage. Soon, various vehicles will appear, as well as several combat maps instead of just one.
