    This game could have been decent but failed horribly in the matchmaking department. There is a total of maybe 200 players here and the queue is dominated by a handful of premade teams that stomp the randoms. Zynga should stick to browser based games because they lack the skill set for anything else it seems.

    This game is bad for one giant main reason, there is an incredible show of in-balance. If you do not spend real money to get a the un-killable characters instantly, then you will have to play through about 60 matches against pay-to-win players with the most unbalanced character I have ever seen in a moba.

If you do not spend real money to get a the un-killable characters instantly, then you will have to play through about 60 matches against pay-to-win players with the most unbalanced character I have ever seen in a moba. One of the character is able to teleport across the map and refill his entire health pool constantly and even has NO consequences for diving the base towers which may as well not be there for doing such negligible damage. If you want any enjoyment out of this game, spend $10 and buy an overpowered hero for this moba which will never see the light of day in a competitive scene.… Expand

    The game is unbalanced.... Its troll central..... Its basically a P2W........ Or get your ass beat lots of times to grind lvls out on the toon to only have it cost a ton of IP to buy a toon that's ok at best..... Champs in this game actually cost quite a bit also..... Its a money sink for a really bad game.... Really a poor excuse for a moba..... I guarantee most of the good reviews forThe game is unbalanced.... Its troll central..... Its basically a P2W........

    Your first thoughts, when you start this game, will be "Wow! This looks a lot more like an app, than a real PC game." Then after a quick google search, you will realize that you are right. Then after a few matches, you might see that the different characters cost 5.99 a piece. You then might think, "Wow! For a game with absolutely zero replay value, 5.99 is a bit extortionist.

Then after a few matches, you might see that the different characters cost 5.99 a piece. You then might think, "Wow! For a game with absolutely zero replay value, 5.99 is a bit extortionist. Who is in charge of this operation, Zynga?" Then, if you are interested enough to do another quick google search, you will be swiftly put in your place... Because this abomination is actually run by Zynga.
    As for the gameplay, imagine any moba, with turrets that pose little to no threat, no minions, and a single lane. This could be interesting, if the movesets that the characters come with might as well play themselves. For example, the barbarian character has 1. An armor buff. 2. A damage buff. 3. A five second AOE that replaces your auto attack. This means that the pro level strategy is to click somewhere in the general direction of what you want dead, and press all three buttons. You can probably alt-tab out to check facebook while you do that.
    This game gets one point for being technically functional, and another for a single good idea; the randomly spawning small buffs around the map is an interesting idea. It leads to the teams fighting for control over the map, instead of just camping at the turret. 2/10    … Expand

    This is a horrible moba game, and the worst video game i have ever played (for example the "Cheetahmen 2" has more entertaining value for me) Very bad IOS to PC port, worse than Resident Evil 4 on PC. I think on a smartphone you can hardly a chat with other players during a match, but this version is for a PC!! A multiplayer game without a chat? Zynga, you can't be serious.

Fantuus7979 wrote that the matchmaking department is horrible, I can agree. For example: all the six players can choose the same hero (only not, when you playing with "friends", making friends without any chat function :) ).
    There is no balance between heroes (Marco and Khronos for example is very overpowered, but some heroes are weaklings). The practice mod is awful, the "bots" are a joke (worst in game AI) Zynga, a skill of make a computer program is not enough for making video games, there is need more sense (for a good moba: balanced characters, better matchmaking(no low levels team(all players under 50 level) vs high levels players (over 300 level) and so on) This game has only one positive value: low system reqs.    … Expand

    Solstice Arena is explosive fun, and its short matches quickly entice you into the "just one more game" mentality so common in compelling multiplayer experiences. And though the game is great for the PC, each match's brevity makes Solstice Arena a fantastic choice for gaming on the go.
