Battlefield heroes:Battle Royale
Battlefield Heroes as a Battle Royal
The Core Idea
​​
Take the stylized, humorous world of Battlefield Heroes and drop it into a cartoony, over-the-top Battle Royale experience—somewhere between Fortnite, Totally Accurate Battlegrounds, and Fall Guys, but with Battlefield-style gunplay and vehicles.
Platforms
-
Cross-platform from day one: PC, console, and mobile.
-
Built for casual pick-up play but deep enough for competitive fans.
-
F2P with cosmetics as the monetization model.
Why this could work
​
1. Unique Art Style in a Crowded Market
-
The market is saturated with realistic BRs (Warzone, PUBG), but few go the goofy-but-satisfying route like Fortnite or Realm Royale.
-
Battlefield Heroes’ art style is timeless and could stand out again in a modern engine.
2. Battlefield Mechanics in BR Form
-
Use classes (Soldier, Gunner, Commando) with passive abilities—like Apex Legends, but more arcade-y.
-
Add vehicles—Battlefield's signature tanks, jeeps, and planes—something few BRs do well outside of Warzone.
-
Simple, satisfying shooting with room for skill—accessible, but deep.
3. Tone & Humor = Differentiator
-
Fortnite leans on crossovers and memes.
-
Battlefield Heroes could lean into physical comedy, ragdoll physics, slapstick, and exaggerated war tropes.
The Pitch
Battlefield Heroes: R is a fast-paced, class-based battle royale where cartoon chaos, goofy vehicles, and slapstick strategy meet classic Battlefield mechanics all wrapped in a nostalgic, free-to-play package.
Who's the Audience?
-
Teenagers and young adults looking for something funnier and less sweaty than Warzone or Apex.
-
Nostalgic players from the original Battlefield Heroes.
-
Streamers & YouTubers—game needs high “clip potential” moments: mid-air rocket kills, goofy ragdoll deaths, etc.
Gameplay Concept: "Battlefield Heroes: Royale"
60–100 players drop into a huge cartoon-style battlefield. Choose your hero class, scavenge weapons, hijack vehicles, and use goofy power-ups to outlast the competition in a world of explosive, slapstick chaos.
Core Features:
-
Classes:
-
Commando (stealth, sniper)
-
Soldier (balanced, healing grenades)
-
Gunner (heavy weapons, shield)
-
-
Vehicles: Tanks, jeeps, fighter planes—chaotic and physics-driven.
-
Power-ups: Jetpacks, boxing gloves, invisibility potions, ridiculous stuff.
-
Emotes & Customization: Skins, goofy hats, taunts.
-
Solo, Duo, and Squad Modes
Optional Twist:
-
Add base-building or fortification elements—but make it simple (like placing sandbags or setting up a turret).
-
Maybe even a "Capture the Flag" or "Control Zone" twist inside the BR format (inspired by classic BF game modes).
Design breakdown
Gameplay Design: Core Mechanics
-
Core Loop:
-
Drop-In: Parachute into the map from a blimp or glider.

Loot: Scavenge for weapons, power-ups, and vehicles.
-
Combat: Fight using guns, gadgets, and abilities. Vehicles add chaos.

Endgame: Final circle forces chaotic team fights with vehicles and power-ups.
-
-
Movement & Combat:
-
Movement: Sprint, vault, and slide for fluid action.
-
Combat: Simplified but satisfying shooting with cartoonish weapons (e.g., bazookas, frying pans).
-
Abilities: Each class has unique abilities like invisibility, healing grenades, and deployable shields.
-
Vehicles: Land (jeeps, tanks), air (planes, helicopters), and utility (hoverboards).
-
Map Design: Layout & Flow
-
Map Size: ~4x4 km for 60-100 players.
-
Regions:
-
Open Fields: Great for vehicles, risky due to no cover.
-
Urban Areas: Dense, high-risk/high-reward combat zones.
-
Natural Terrain: Forests, cliffs, rivers add verticality and variety.
-
Fortified Structures: Bunkers or castles with high loot, high contest.
-
-
Shrinking Circle: The safe zone shrinks over time, pushing players into tight areas. More dynamic than just closing on a central point—encourages strategic movement.
-
Key POIs:
-
Tanks: High-powered vehicles in contested areas.
-
Crash Sites: High loot, high danger areas.
-
Blimp Base: A high-altitude POI with special loot but limited access as the circle shrinks.
-
Level Design: Dynamic Interaction
-
Interactive Environments:
-
Destructible cover like fences and walls.
-
Weather effects (fog, rain) that affect visibility and movement.
-
Timed Events like airstrikes or supply drops that change game flow.
-
-
Verticality: Buildings with multi-level interiors, rooftops for sniping, and ramps for vehicle combat.
-
Random Events/POIs:
-
Supply Drops: Timed air drops with special loot.
