The gameplay of this title is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, vibrant champion designs, and addictive nature, effectively blending MOBA elements with battle royale dynamics. However, players express concerns about balance issues, particularly with certain champions being overpowered, and the impact of RNG on gameplay, which can detract from the skill-based experience. While many find the game enjoyable and recommend it for those who appreciate tactical gameplay, the low player base and long queue times hinder the overall experience.
- “All in all, the game is very vibrant, champion designs well polished and pretty, gameplay addicting as heck, and it's given me and a friend I tend to play with (and definitely a lot of other people too!) a lot of joy.”
- “The gameplay is smooth and fun, there's always new ways to improve and the look of the game is extremely polished.”
- “It features a very fun and dynamic gameplay, a fair amount of champions to choose from, a beautiful map and super fun items!”
- “Unbalanced heroes or champions, queue time similar to a challenger League of Legends player that lasts almost more than the actual gameplay (I think that waiting for the matchup is the real gameplay).”
- “The gameplay feels markedly slower, and the skill aspect has been reduced to knowing when to engage and when to hide.”
- “Now onto the gameplay: every single death feels undeserved, and the entire game seems to be based on randomness.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a "cash grab," with many players feeling that the developers prioritize profit over quality and player engagement. While some users acknowledge that the game is generous in certain aspects, the overall sentiment is that the pricing for microtransactions is high and the game's management is lacking, leading to a perception of abandonment and poor long-term planning. Many believe the game should have been free-to-play from the start, as the current model has not sustained a healthy player base.
- “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.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their beauty and polish, with many reviewers highlighting the impressive art style and optimization. Players appreciate the smooth visuals and aesthetic design, although some minor glitches have been noted, which are expected to be resolved as the game progresses in early access. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's enjoyable experience, making it visually appealing and immersive.
- “Really chill game with awesome graphics.”
- “Game is very well optimized, graphics are really good; just very rarely there are a few glitches in the game, but it's normal. The game is early access and I am sure these will be fixed!”
- “I'm not talking about the amazing graphics and the smooth gameplay on its own; they really have talented artists and programmers.”
- “The game is fun but only with a few of the champions; the game is currently completely unbalanced. Ranged attacks hit harder than melee attacks, and ranged champions have two escapes. There are just two abilities at the start of the game, and skill shots have different sizes than the graphics. Some champions have teleports with much shorter cooldowns than others, and melee attacks have different ranges than the graphics. It's a mess currently.”
- “Playable for integrated graphics.”
- “Graphics are pretty polished as well.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it dynamic and entertaining, particularly due to the randomness and wacky elements like consumables and map features that lead to hilarious situations. While some aspects can feel repetitive or imbalanced, the overall experience is described as fun and capable of eliciting laughter, making it a lighthearted choice in the battle royale genre. However, there are calls for improvement in certain areas to enhance the comedic experience further.
- “A wide range of consumables makes the game wacky and random, which is definitely a plus for me - I can't get frustrated over a death if I'm too busy laughing my ass off.”
- “But... what this game has done is really special and nothing else than the most RNG-based battle royale ever made - which is funny, because the normal game is focused entirely on skill.”
- “Also on the map, there is always some TNT and jump pads spawned around random locations, which leads to some funny plans or strategies.”
- “Not funny, didn't laugh.”
- “The humor fell flat and didn't resonate with me.”
- “I expected more laughs, but it just didn't deliver.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of Battlerite Royale, noting that the farming phase can be tedious and often feels unrewarding, as skill is overshadowed by RNG elements and the ability of less skilled players to capitalize on opportunities. While some find the grind ultimately rewarding, many feel that it detracts from the overall experience, especially in a battle royale context where quick progression is expected.
- “When this game first came out, I was like 'oh, the original was cool and this version will add more spice with the BR part of the game.' So I bought it for 20 dollars, and here's the thing: you don't get anything but the champions pack, which I think should be free because it's a BR, and farming for a BR to play the game to its fullest is frustrating.”
- “However, I find there to be quite a bit of irritating qualities about this game that I can't shake through pure grinding.”
- “Fighting feels like a waste of time early to mid-game, often holding you back from progress while others are freely farming the chests around you.”

The game's optimization receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its smooth performance and good graphics, even on low-end hardware. However, others report issues such as stuttering and flickering, particularly in online play, indicating that while the game shows promise, it still requires further improvements, especially given its early access status. Overall, many users are hopeful for future fixes to address these performance concerns.
- “Game is very well optimized, graphics are really good, just very rarely there are a few glitches in the game but is normal, game is early access and I am sure these will be fixed!”
- “It's been not quite 2 days yet, and the game runs smooth, very fluent gameplay and good performance, something many early access games lack in my opinion.”
- “I have a very weak laptop CPU (i5, 2 cores, 7th gen) and GPU (R5 M430), which is really weak; I can't even play some titles from 2005 on the lowest settings with 30+ fps at 1600x900 resolution, so if you worry about performance, be confident that your PC most likely can run it.”
- “Cons: does have performance issues (stuttering/flickering), hoping to get a fix in the future.”
- “Zero optimization.”
- “The game keeps stuttering when playing online (not happened when versus AI).”

The story aspect of the game is viewed as somewhat lacking, with players expressing frustration over the inability to obtain certain cosmetics despite completing quests and performing well. While daily quests and achievements provide rewards, the seasonal cosmetics create a sense of exclusivity that detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the ranking system is perceived as flawed, complicating the enjoyment of the game's narrative elements.
- “Ranking is a bit messed up right now, but the quests and achievements will give you a lot of gold and chests, as well as leveling up your account and heroes will provide chests that allow you to obtain cosmetics.”
- “I guess it's okay if you do it one time action like with this special pack at the start of the beta with outfits for Jumong, Freya, Raigon, and so on, but now every season there's going to be another set of sweet looking cosmetics that you cannot obtain no matter how much you play and how well you do your quests, and now that really sucks.”
- “However, the way that abilities work and how some of them function in this game mode is a whole different story.”
- “Maintaining that is a completely different story.”
