You climb up the tiers by winning ranked matches, but if you lose matches, you ranking will drop and you'll find yourself in a lower tier. The matchmaking system will make sure players will compete against other players within the same tier. Speaking of which, the game features a competitive ranking system, each tier is split into 5 divisions. The matchmaking system will make sure you are matched against players at your skill level.

Players will need to gear up and use the environment to their advantage in order to survive the longest. In this mode, players can't lose or advance in ranking (like the casual mode in Hearthstone). There is also the casual mode that is designed to be more of a practice mode, but you still fight against 99 players. The game has several game modes: play as a lone wolf against all the other players, team up with a friend in Doubles mode (play against 49 other teams of two players each) or play in a team of 5 people (20 teams of five players each). Players are dropped into a very large arena (currently featuring 3 large-scale maps), each arena features its own landscape and rewards tactical decision making. The game features 30-minute times matched with up to 100 players fighting at the same time. Islands of Nyne is inspired by Battle Royale and The Hunger Games movies and focuses on the last-man-standing gameplay. OK, money stuff aside, you probably want to know what makes the Islands of Nyne: Battle Royale (Why such a long name?) so different from other first-person shooters? There are only asking for $40K, and with $30 funded by May 19th, I have no doubt in my mind that this project will be funded successfully. On May 10, 2016, Define Human Studios started a KickStarter crowd-funding campaign to raise money for their current project. Define Human Studios is another company who wants to make a different type of shooter, that brings a fresh air and refreshes over the boredom of playing the same FPS games just in different skins. There are tons of first-person shooters out there, and quite a few for VR.
