    Excellent Moba ,pvp arena i ever seen! P.S(i played LoL,Dota,Dota 2,Hon,Wow,Hots. and others. Best balance !
    (but not the best matchmaking, perhaps because online now is not big)

    You wait 10 minutes for a game with death cycle and as a result, you play with single bots, so my score will be 4 games on restricted internet (most games are not played) but I will say that they are a game played on the internet, but they are a game that ends quickly.

    Pros: It is fun, fast paced, and a great game to play with friends. It seemed to have good potential and a passionate community.

    Cons: Oh boy.

    No Updates - Stunlock Studios released maybe 3 updates for the game before abandoning it. It didn't make them enough money so they didn't bother. Sound familiar?

    Unbalanced - This game has some horrible balance issues. Some characters are genuinely unplayable beyond casual games. Some characters are a MUST and some you shouldn't even bother learning.

    Toxic Community - Nearly every match is met with some level of insult or backhanded comment if you ever do poorly. No different than league of legends in that aspect. This could be alleviated by the developers but they have no intention of managing their community now or in the future. No report system.

    Shameless Cash Grab - This issue is ongoing between this developers multiple games. They are now currently releasing ANOTHER battle royale that is identical to their last. Across now 3 almost identical games the developers have the same list of characters and skins, however you must purchase each one with real money across each game independently. The developers actually released the exact same game twice, and charged full price to returning players for skins that were already over priced.

    I have no words to describe my disappointment in developers who choose money over hard work. Rome wasn't built in a day, and you can't make money from a bad game.    … Expand

    I have played very little of the game as DotA 2 is my main moba, but this is basically the opposite of DotA. Short, fast-paced games. It's not as anxiety inducing and toxic. The definition of fun.

    Get this game. Seriously. I'm writing this review because I want people to try this game out. Here are the good reasons.

    1. It's cheap. $30 unlocks the full game and all the champions. Or you can play for free and unlock as you go. Unlocking new characters is relatively easy to you. The developers have put a lot of free content inside, free skins, etc. You get loot boxes often. Not like    Get this game. Seriously.

    1. It's cheap. $30 unlocks the full game and all the champions. Or you can play for free and unlock as you go. Unlocking new characters is relatively easy to you. The developers have put a lot of free content inside, free skins, etc. You get loot boxes often. Not like League of Legends.

    2. It's faster paced than League of Legends/DOTA. Matches last 5-10 minutes.

    3. The gameplay is skill based. There's no Random Number Generator (RNG) moves to the damage whatsoever. You need accuracy or you'll whiff your moves. The game tells you on the bottom right how you died, when you die, so you can improve and know what killed you.

    4. This is a competitive game, with a cool ranking system. This is pure PvP and everything feels fair/balanced from what I can see. You can win with every character. It doesn't matter if there are two ranged guys, two melee guys, you can win if you are good. Similarly, you can also win if the enemy is 2vs1 on you. If you're good you can win.

    5. Support this developer if you want to see more skill based games rewarded. Personally, I'm sick of League and Dota with auto right click on enemies. This game is precise and has a bit of everything: a loadout system, no cumbersome item system, no 150+ champions that barely feel different (the roster feels good).

    6. Great music, I love how this game get's into some trance like music when you're in the groove.

    7. The TENSION. This game creates tension in best of 5 matches. Many times I've had games tied 2-2 and had to win the last game to win. It's great. I haven't had this much tension since playing PUBG in the last of 5.

    8. Simple to learn, difficult to master. There's a lot of depth and high skill ceiling in this game. It's a game you can play for a long time and learn more every day from how the characters interact with each other and the different combos your characters can perform. It's a joy to learn new characters and keeps the game feeling fresh.

    9. I've had a lot of fun with this game. Join the discord, read the Reddit posts, get your friends to play a free game.

    10. Support the dev. $30 is pretty cheap and they even reimburse you if you try the game and you have played the free version I think they give you a discount for champions you've already unlocked. THESE ARE THE PRACTICES AND THE DEVELOPERS WE SHOULD REWARD. Not the cash grab Ubisoft / Electronic Arts / microtransaction kind of developers. I hope this game stays with a high playerbase because I want to play it for a long time. Hell, it should be an e-sport and there's probably just not enough traffic. I'd rather watch this than some drawn out LoL match.

    12. This is the true Multiplayer Online Battle Arena game. You seriously are in a battle arena and you feel like you're in a tournament.

    The only negative I can see is if the playerbase dwindles matches will be hard to find. Right now it's very easy to find a match.    … Expand

    A MOBA super fun, with characters of unique characteristics, servers with little or no ping (my internet is 2 MB)
    The game contains some problems and bugs, but nothing that could hinder the gameplay.
    I think Battlerite can reach the position of League Of Legends

    Awesome game! I'm not a fan of MOBA's, but this is unique among them; a true arena brawler without the other stuff. If you like WoW arenas you should like this one. I'm hoping this game and others like it will grow in popularity, as they would rightly deserve. Give it a try!

    Battlerite is the answer to the question, What is the best Team-Based-PvP game out there? Gameplay consists of pure fighting and pure skills. Games are short and exciting and the balance is pretty good. There is space for character customaziation, both gameplay wise and cosmeticly.

    Battlerite takes the best from MOBAs - small scale PvP teamfights - and drops all the boring stuff creating an intense action experience. Add to that very short queue time and 5-10 minutes matches and you will get non-stop adrenaline fun.

    Movement can feel awkward until you get used to the game, but you can get past it.

    The most important question to ask yourself before installing Battlerite is this: Do I have the patience to learn this game? If you give up on games easily, then Battlerite will be a quick burn for you.    … Expand

    With a diverse cast of characters, an incredible level of depth to play, and a keen focus on the part of MOBA's we enjoy the most (facing off against other players), Battlerite shines as an example of what MOBA's should be. Ditching the path of what they've always been for a stronger, brighter future.

    Battlerite is a paradise for those who cherish fair play above anything else. It’s a game of pure skill, devoid of any random elements. No critical hits, no scaling, no artifacts, no spells etc. Every ability deals the same amount of damage every time it is used. The gameplay is transparent, fast-paced and satisfying. [01/2018, p.62]

    To distinguish itself from the MOBA crowd, Battlerite went for pure, skill-based action and hit the mark dead center. The fluid mouse-and-WASD-driven combat makes every move count and the quick pace of its 10-minute matches never lets off the gas. Even with its lackluster randomized progression system robbing it of momentum, Battlerite keeps me coming back to improve and add to my bag of tricks along the way. Stunlock’s approach to MOBA combat creates a near-even playing field that makes each outplay feel earned, whether it was me or my foe picking up the win. These arenas are places I can see myself brawling for a long time to come.
