The gameplay of Battlerite Royale is generally praised for its unique blend of MOBA mechanics and battle royale elements, offering a fun and skill-based experience with well-designed characters and abilities. However, many players express frustration over the low player base, resulting in matches predominantly against bots, and highlight significant balance issues among characters and items that detract from the overall experience. Despite these concerns, the core mechanics are seen as solid and enjoyable, with potential for improvement if the game receives more attention and updates from developers.

- “Intense fights, smooth and fun gameplay and mechanics, and a high skill cap with lots of champions to choose from.”
- “Gameplay is boring and the game is completely unbalanced.”
- “The gameplay feels markedly slower, and the skill aspect has been reduced to knowing when to engage and when to hide.”
