Gameplay
Unlike PUB-G, FAU-G is not a battle royal game but rather a combat game, Pawar explains. “With the first rollout, the makers have only introduced the campaign mode that follows a simplistic storyline. Players play individually to complete various missions that either involve rescuing people or fending off attackers. In PUB-G, the only objective was to survive and win; there was no overarching story,” he adds. 

The makers have hinted at rolling out the battle royal and team-based death match modes, which will allow players to interact. Pawar says this is a common strategy in the gaming world. “Even PUB-G evolved tremendously over the three to four years that I played the game. It started out as a much simpler iteration,” he shares.

Pros and cons 
The game’s graphics are satisfactory, and it runs smoothly without glitches, says Pawar. However, with a limited range of actions, the game soon becomes monotonous. Although the game has been lauded for its references to the Indian armed forces, Pawar believes the similarities are limited to a few basic elements. “The lead character is dressed in military fatigues and the dialogues include terms such as ‘jawan’ which gives the game an Indian vibe, but doesn’t share anything new about the army,” he says.
