FAUG instead of PUBG


 Recently 118 Chinese applications were banned by the government of India including a game which was quite popular among Indian teenagers, PUBG mobile. While the mobile gamers were brooding over the government there was an unexpected announcement of an Indian app/game called 'Fearless And United Guards i.e FAUG which sounds kinda similar to PUBG. The game has been developed by nCore Games under the mentorship of popular Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar. Anyways we won't go into many technical details. Now, the announcement was just made 2 days after the banning of the apps, pretty opportunistic move but the developers were like "it was just a coincident" and also there is gossip among the people that this is kind of a battle royale game or moreover an alternative to Pubg mobile. Meaning of faug( actual word is 'fogi') in the Hindi language means soldiers or a military personal.


According to the developers, the idea behind FAUG is to give gamers an experience about the actual feelings of real soldiers. Let's come to the poster of this game as you can see there is something fishy about the poster. The news of the poster being fake is already viral on social platforms. That sucks. A rival of PUBG and has no original poster. The poster also reflects the graphic quality of the game. Well, I am not being judgemental here but this thing has spoiled the first impression of the game. This has lead to disappointment among gamers. The best thing about the game is its Indian origin. As you guys would probably know that no AAA quality games were made in India. An AAA quality game means a lot of investment and a lot of risks. So FAUG is like a ray of hope to the Indian game development.
