The Culling (video game)
The Culling is a first person "battle-royal" style video game developed by Xaviant Games.[1] The initial release was March 4, 2016. Contestants are placed inside an arena and the last player alive wins.
Setting
Players are on what is known as an island full of various traps and buildings. While playing, contestants may notice caves, bridges, poison, explosive barrels, and more. Upon completing various tasks such as living for a few minuets, traveling certain distances or interacting with the environment, players receive "F.U.N.C". F.U.N.C is the in game currency used to purchase equipment and upgrades each match.
Builds
When particular perks and air drops are put together they provide unique strengths and weaknesses. Players call these combinations "builds". Selecting the correct perks can provide players with an edge based on their play style. The community creates hundreds of unique combinations[2] and this is expected to grow as the game gains popularity. One popular build includes taking the Cyclops airdrop and combining it with perks such as "runs with spears" since the player will receive one of the better spears in the game from the air drop.
Development
The Culling was designedby Xaviant Games to be a title enjoyed by both players and those watching the players, a "streamer-friendly" game.[3]
