    "Built as a passion project by a small team at Epic Games," or so touts the micro-transaction-heavy gacha game recently released by the developers of what is currently the world's most popular game. Make no mistake: there's nothing small or passionate about this.

Make no mistake: there's nothing small or passionate about this.

    The core gameplay loop is as follows: First, you give Epic your money so you can gamble on heroes. Then you take your heroes into battle. There's some strategy, but just like in any gacha game, strategy is trumped by having gambled good heroes. So you more or less let the game play itself until it can't progress any further. Then you give Epic more money. Rinse, repeat.

    The art and visual style are okay-ish, as that's supposed to be the sell of these games. Gotta have waifus so the player has incentive to spend money for ownership of a 2D image they could just look up on google and set as their desktop background. The sound design's not bad either, but overall, it's all just uninspired. It's lazy filler content: characters and places and sounds that are all appealing enough, but that I have no reason to care about, except for maybe the reason that I spent money to get them.

    On that note, they sure did an equally poor job rounding out the corners of the aesthetic by just filling the writing and dialogue with fourth-wall breaking meme culture. It comes off as exactly the forced attempt to shove in some last minute personality that it actually is. It's about as appealing as sitting around at the dinner table on Thanksgiving and having your elderly parents show you memes they found on their phone.

    If you like losing money, play this game.    … Expand

    Shocked that this game has the Epic name attached to it. This one makes "The Elder Scrolls: Blades" look like an actual game. Shame... shame... shame...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry if my grammar is not good, I am not a native English speaker.

    I really like this game, is not for everyone but I'll say why I like it. Basically Battle Breakers was made for cellphones and I spend my time playing it on my free time (so have it on PC with your big screen, can be an option too). It can scare you at the beginning of the game basically because it has tons of stats and numbers to level up, but really you don't need to spend money to get them, you can have tons of diamonds (the premium currency) just playing and with those you can buy a lot of heroes free, but believe me you WON'T buy more and I'll explain why.

    Basically the game is a strategy game where you have five colors or elements, Grass, Fire, Water, Light and Dark, my point here is when you have a stable team, keep it and keep playing with it forever because you will level THAT champion with mana, strenght and many many other stats. So! If you have a party and stabilize all your members, if you are smart you won't touch it and will keep playing without changing nothing.

    But yeah isn't a perfect game either of course, actually is a grinding Odissey but if you like that you'll enjoy a lot making your perfect strategy and your perfect rainbow team with some additional backups specially for determined missions (where you have to use two grass types, two light types, an specific job on your members, etc).

    PROS:
    - Free to play
    - You can get tons of premium currency just playing
    - Satisfactory level up until level 100

    CONS
    - After 100 leveling is pretty hard
    - Tons and tons of grinding
    - The game itself doesn't motivate you to get new heroes

    P.D. If you have Fortnite Save the World REALLY get Jess and Ramirez those two are pretty overpowered at the beginning and if you like them you can keep them until late game.    … Expand

    I am rating this game 0 out of 0 because of how bad it is.

    It is far away from a real strategy game of some sort, it is basically a pay-to-win with a lot of microtransactions around, where you have to spend money to have a good hero.

    First, even if it looks cool it is beyond simple and they compensate by creating an overly complicated upgrade/evo system. Second, when the game messes up you will lose all progress and Epic games will not help you. Last, if you made the mistake of buying the battle pass, then it gets deleted by the software, you will not get a refund.
