![]() There’s a lot of factors that add up to a fairly significant difficulty, and it’s not going to be something that’s everyone’s cup of coffee. It’s truly an “arena brawler” game, with familiar-feeling top-down perspective (like in action RPGs such as Diablo) and tactical, challenging gameplay.īattlerite is not an easy game. Everyone is moving around, dodging and trying to land attacks, unleashing powers and trying to plan ahead as they develop tactics for the fight. This dynamic is very similar to the way that heroes in MOBAs are set up, but because you don’t have to deal with enemy buildings or minions, everything is oriented towards fighting enemy heroes. Some characters are built to tank a great deal of damage, some try to deal out large amounts of damage, and others work to mitigate damage from the enemy and even to restore health. It’s a bit like a fantasy game like Dungeons & Dragons given life in a fast-paced battle, each team trying to whittle down the enemy players’ health. Players face off against one another in two-versus-two or three-versus-three matches, throwing powerful abilities at one another in an attempt to knock out the other team in a small arena. What does that all mean, specifically? What is Battlerite?īattlerite is…basically…a superhero wizard gladiator match. With years of experience, the same studio is launching it as a new game, reworking heroes, adapting a current business model, and reworking the core game to focus on a more intense experience. Like in MOBAs, you had characters with a diverse set of abilities–but instead of that fighting being distributed over the course of a lengthier strategic macro-game, the entire point of the game was to constantly teamfight! It was rooted in the use of abilities, as though it were a topdown fighting game…and it also had an incredibly small player population by the time that I heard of it, which is a very big problem for an online game.īattlerite is the revival of that game. When I started getting into MOBAs like Heroes of the Storm, which I reviewed recently, I ran into mention of an older game called “ Bloodline Champions“.
