The gameplay is generally praised for its fast-paced, fun, and mechanically satisfying shooter experience reminiscent of Quake and TF2, with good movement and shooting mechanics. However, some users criticize balance issues related to upgraded characters and DLC classes overpowering others, as well as repetitive and simple gameplay. Despite mixed opinions, many find the core gameplay engaging and enjoyable, especially for a free-to-play arena shooter.
- “I love the movement and the shooting mechanic.”
- “It's got fun, fast paced gunplay, with lots of room for mechanical outplays when being played by good players.”
- “Batla is a fun, casual arena-like shooter with easy-to-grasp, slightly more difficult-to-master mechanics.”
- “Very suddenly one of them purchased the tank class DLC and proceeded to mop the floor with our mechanical corpses.”
- “You can upgrade your character with points which you get, let's say 2-80 in one round. Upgrades in an arena shooter where the skills of a player should rule the gameplay aren't right; here the player rules who has the most upgraded character pieces and weapons or the one with an extra class like the scout or the tank.”
- “Boring repetitive gameplay, customization options are horrible.”
