An all-new game about committing large scale violence inside a pretend Ikea is now live on Steam.

not long after it went live. It's been quite well received during that time, too, with more than 3,600 user reviews on Steam giving it a"mostly positive" overall rating.

It sounds pretty straightforward as battle royales go: 16 players try to kill each other using everything at hand, from guns to axes, rakes, and pieces of furniture. Items can be recycled, and the materials left over used to craft new stuff. There are cosmetic items to earn, the map is large and has"distinct store sections," and both free-for-all and duos modes are supported.

But it's the setting that makes Retail Royale most interesting, because it's even more overt about the Ikea connection than The Store is Closed. This, in case there's any doubt, is the very first screenshot on the Steam page: Ikea's lawyers insisted that the developers of The Store is Closed"make changes" to the game to lessen the Ikea connection, although it's not currently clear whether developer Ziggy intends to comply. The same fate could befall Retail Royale, but there might be an argument that both games count as protected parodies.
