About

Pixel Royale 3D is a single player and multiplayer tactical shooter game with horror and science fiction themes. It was developed by Squidy and was released on March 15, 2024. It received mostly positive reviews from players.

Ever imagined a world where mechanical skill and actually playing the game was what mattered? Yeah, we have too. We grew up playing pixel shooters for most of our childhood, and we've had to watch the genre shift in a way that isn't healthy for the community. So we decided to take the genre in a better direction. We made Pixel Royale to gather the community to a place where they can have fun with …

  • Gameplay is fun, smooth, and nostalgic with satisfying gunplay and unique maps.

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for being smooth, satisfying, and fun, with unique maps and compelling gun mechanics that encourage skill improvement. Some users appreciate the upgrade system without monetary investment and the immersive music enhancing competitiveness. However, a few critiques mention occasional bugs, clunky controls, and a gameplay feel that can be less polished or derivative.

    • “The gameplay is super satisfying and the maps are unique.”
    • “Very good game, had lots of fun; good gunplay, smooth gameplay, awesome gun designs!”
    • “I like that the gameplay is very smooth and fun, the fact that you can upgrade your guns without needing to invest any money and the best part is the music, I honestly love the unique tracks that each map has, it really makes everything feel more competitive.”
    • “It combines the worst of Pixel Gun: Prehistoric gameplay from the early days, and abusive microtransaction system from later on.”
    • “Bad game, blatant PG3D ripoff, gameplay doesn't feel good, all actions feel delayed and clunky.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the nostalgic, blocky style reminiscent of Minecraft, while others criticize the game for relying on low-quality, flipped, and stock assets that suggest minimal effort or talent in graphic design. Although the visuals are seen as basic or even poor by some, they suit a semi-casual FPS experience and run smoothly on lower-end hardware.

    • “My game ran really smooth, the graphics are nostalgic, and it's really easy to learn.”
    • “Overall, I'd recommend it for those wanting a nostalgic, semi-casual FPS experience with a blocky art style.”
    • “This is a scam... a bunch of flipped Minecraft voxel-like assets in a pointless PvP FPS arena with nothing else going on... just 'we think Minecraft was successful because it looked bad, so we stole Notch's aesthetic and did nothing with it, now give us money in the cash shop.'”
    • “It also happens to be easy, and doesn't need any proper talent in terms of game development or graphic artists. That's why reviewers are faced with so many of these terrible games with confrontingly bad graphics.”
    • “Even though the game looks pretty bad (and decent visuals are a minimum requirement for any game), it looks like some or most of the game assets are stock/flipped assets (edit: confirmed, this is an asset flip, for profit).”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect is notably lacking, with no story mode or narrative content to engage players, making the game feel empty and uninteresting beyond multiplayer interactions. Users suggest adding a story mode or some form of narrative to provide more depth and purpose.

    • “The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
    • “No bots or players means you can't play the game against any kind of enemies as intended for a game like this where you shoot each other. No story mode means nothing interesting to play or find like Pixel Gun at least has, and a lack of content means there's basically nothing to do here.”
    • “I would also recommend a story mode or some kind.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Monetization is highly contentious, with some users condemning it as an unethical, exploitative cash grab likened to a scam, while others find certain pricing, like $1 for a skin or $5 for customization, to be reasonably fair. Overall, opinions on its value for gamers are sharply divided.

    • “The monetization is very fair as well; $1 for a skin or $5 to make your own is an amazing deal in this day and age.”
    • “This is a toxic cash grab, an attempt from an unqualified asset flipper to scam gamers out of money through a nasty mobile app tier cash shop.”
    • “The developer response here highlights just how disgusting this insult to gamers is, containing confessions and justifications that prove this is a cash grab scam, and why it should never have been allowed on Steam.”
    • “My review stands mostly unaltered, with sections edited for brevity to better warn gamers about this unethical plagiarism and nasty cash grab.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in terrible performance, and it has not received any updates to address these issues.

    • “Terrible performance and receives no updates.”
    • “Terrible game with terrible performance.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's grinding mechanics as a fair alternative to pay-to-win, allowing progress through effort rather than purchases.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users suggest that adding a singleplayer PvE mode could enhance the game's replayability, indicating that current options may feel limited for extended play.

  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is highly praised for its unique tracks tailored to each map, enhancing the competitive atmosphere and overall enjoyment of the gameplay.

    • “I like that the gameplay is very smooth and fun, the fact that you can upgrade your guns without needing to invest any money, and the best part is the music. I honestly love the unique tracks that each map has; it really makes everything feel more competitive.”
