    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.

    • “The gameplay of the game was indeed quite novel at the time, as the mainstream battle royale games were still dominated by shooting games, and Battlerite Royale's unique gameplay naturally brought some traffic to the game.”
    • “Unique mix of MOBA and battle royale, plus you have in-depth mechanics like playing an explosive barrel, turning into a barrel to fool your enemy, using items like hooks to grapple enemies, really unique and awesome mechanics.”
    • “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.”

  • graphics59 mentions

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their stunning visuals, charming art style, and smooth performance, contributing to an enjoyable gaming experience. Many players appreciate the dynamic and varied aesthetics, with some highlighting the game's cartoonish graphics and character designs.

    • “My laptop can run PUBG, MHW, and GTA on high graphics, but for some reason, I'm stuck on the loading screen because of very low FPS.”
    • “I tried multiple solutions that Stunlock Studios recommended, but nothing works (even with the lowest/worst graphic settings).”
    • “The game is currently completely unbalanced, with ranged attacks hitting harder than melees, and melee attacks having different ranges than the graphics; it's a mess currently.”
  • monetization44 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a cash grab, with many players feeling that it prioritizes profit over player experience. While some users acknowledge the game's generosity in certain aspects, the overall sentiment is that the developers have failed to balance monetization with gameplay, leading to frustration over expensive microtransactions and a lack of proper advertising to attract a larger player base. Many believe the game should have launched as free-to-play with in-game purchases, rather than as a paid title.

    • “On the monetization side of things, I feel the game is actually quite generous.”
    • “I like the way they handle microtransactions.”
    • “As far as I understand it, this is a price tag for early access only and they are still figuring out the monetization part of it, but will be free to play on release.”
    • “Devs too busy running after their next cash grab instead of keeping a good game running.”
    • “This game is bad, a shameless cash grab.”
    • “Honestly feels like a cash grab and the devs didn't care to do anything past developing the game and pushing the 'go live' button.”
  • story16 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is generally perceived as minimal and somewhat lacking, with players primarily engaging in basic quests and combat rather than a rich narrative experience. While there are some seasonal cosmetic rewards and daily quests, frustrations arise from the inability to reroll missions and the feeling that the story does not significantly enhance gameplay.

    • “The story is almost non-existent; it feels like an afterthought in a game that focuses more on gameplay mechanics than narrative.”
    • “I was hoping for a rich storyline, but instead, I found myself doing repetitive quests with little to no context or character development.”
    • “The lack of a compelling story makes the game feel empty, and I often find myself questioning why I should care about the quests I'm completing.”

    • “A funny battle royale game that mixes MOBA gameplay and tactics together greatly.”
