Fortnite: This is the game behind which everyone is addicted – games

Millions of players are dependent on "Fortnite". Sometimes, more than three million people simultaneously play the new version "Fortnite: Battle Royale". It is free for computer, mobile phone and console. The game is a race against time and opponents. Up to 100 online players jump together from a flying bus, landing on an island and fighting each other until there is more left than one. .

At the same time, a storm prepares and continues to shrink the field – until the last player faces a few virtual square meters. Until then, the characters of the game on the island can collect weapons, drugs and building materials. Not only has an advantage, which can aim and shoot well, but also builds a good fortress quickly.

FOCUS-Online publishers tested the game

"Fortnite" has an absolute addictive potential. After three days, we managed to win a match for the first time – without even killing a single opponent. Simply by maneuvering well in all directions, building fast, and lucky enough to see the boss finally hit by the dangerous storm first.

Is the game suitable for teenagers? There are different opinions. The International Age Rating Coalition IARC recommends "Fortnite: Battle Royale" only from the age of 16. The PEGI European-wide game information frees the game from the age of 12 years.

And what do we think of the game? Yes, the players shoot at each other and try to defeat their opponents with weapons. Yes, the weapons carry real names and have realistic characteristics. But the comic character of the game is predominant: the characters, sets and houses are cartoon style. There is no blood and no body. Players eat bright blue mushrooms to reload their shields. In the game shop, there was sometimes an ax in the form of a unicorn to buy. Therefore, we do not find "Fortnite" more disturbing than other computer games.
