Get on SteamKRUM – Battle Arena is a fun, competitive, asynchronous hack-and-slash parody game. If you're looking for a deep story or triple-A features, you've come to the wrong place. This game is made from our hearts and souls (yes, just souls—imagine that without the "dark" in front!). We still have a long way to go before it looks like a polished game. Are you still in? ;) A Barbaric Arena F…

Gameplay is criticized for being disorganized and lacking clear instructions, making it difficult for players to engage effectively. While some find the mechanics and controls challenging yet enjoyable once mastered, others describe the overall experience as shallow and clunky, with poor level design and uninspired enemy placements. The mixed feedback highlights a divide between those who appreciate certain aspects of the gameplay and those who find it fundamentally flawed.
“It reminded me of one of my favorite games, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, except, of course, with heavier, more realistic gameplay.”
“The animations are nice, and the gameplay, while a bit clunky, is fun.”
“The mechanics and controls themselves are a bit tough at first, but once you get the hang of them, they're lots of fun.”
“Gameplay is extremely disorganized; it took me a while to figure out how to even fight anything. When you go into the map screen, it gives you no explanation on what you're looking at or what anything means.”
“The gameplay is so poor that there wasn't any portion of it that I enjoyed.”
“I'm honestly hoping whoever made this game stops now, because I believe with all that I am that this game can never become anything because the mechanics are simply not enjoyable.”

The graphics of the game have been widely criticized, with comparisons made to outdated systems like the N64 and PS2, indicating a lack of modern visual fidelity. Many users also report significant frame rate issues, detracting from the overall experience. However, some players express indifference towards the graphics, suggesting that they do not significantly impact their enjoyment of the game.
“Now another thing I'll bring up are the graphics; they honestly don't bother me at all.”
“I'm not complaining about the graphics.”
“For 2020, this game has PS2 graphics even on high res; very basic game, so if it's your type of game, have fun.”
“Combine this with terrible frame rate issues no matter what few graphic settings can be changed, and you got one mess of a broken game.”
“But gameplay and graphics are horrid.”
“For 2020, this game has PS2 graphics even on high res; very basic game, so if it's your type of game, have fun. For me, just simply no... not knocking it, just too many better titles out there.”
