The Darwin Project is a multiplayer shooter that borrows a lot of elements from the Battle Royale game mode: random spawning, hunting for equipment, and fighting inside an area that constantly shrinks to a smaller size. You can also not only take equipment from dead opponents, but also craft your own from scrap materials. Your only weapons are a bow and an axe, however, you can create different types of arrows. The game also features the setting of traps, which you can create using materials you find during a game round.
