What is Black Survival: Eternal Return?
It's a Hunger Games-style, MOBA-like Battle Royale that was initially one of the earliest battle royale games to exist on the mobile platform... before PUBG popularized the genre and Fortnite taking it to a whole new, competitive level. Being a battle royale, the goal in BS:ER is to be the last person standing and to do so, you'll not only need to take out your competition; you'll also need to make sure you avoid any hazards to stay alive.
To be honest, the "environmental" hazards in this game, similar to what you'd see in the Hunger Games movies, is what truly sets it apart from all the other battle royales. The game takes place in an average-sized town that's segmented into different areas/tiles. As the game progresses, each area will be flooded with a particularly fatal hazard that will pop your character like a nasty pimple if you stay in it for more than 30 seconds.
The hazards won't go away, however, and will only gradually cover more tiles as the game reaches its finale. If you're not careful, you may find yourself trapped in a tile surrounded by hazards... if that happens, that's when you'll need to start praying to some RNG gods that the tile you're trapped on doesn't become the next hazardous tile. You can try running through one of the dangerous tiles to get to safer shores, but it can be a huge feat to do so successfully sometimes.
Scavenging for parts or even entire pieces of usable gear is definitely a main aspect of the gameplay, but that is nothing if compared to the crafting system in this game - frankly speaking, it is one of the most complex that I've ever seen. So much so, the game uses an algorithm, similar to certain MOBAs that will automatically recommend items you can buy from the shop depending on your level and stats, to narrow everything down and only recommend craftable gear that you might be interested in and/or have the materials for. You can even pin crafting recipes on your screen so you can keep in mind what materials you need while scavenging.
Unlike Fortnite, there's no building structures, like that "staircase to heaven" strategy that many people tend to use, in this game. However, you do get a nice array of traps and even surveillance cameras that you can set up around an area/tile you're defending.
