“[h1] 7/10 [/h1] It was fun pvp game at the time, now just a dead game.”
“This is one of my favourite games of all time. It is simple but awesome and i cannot express how sad I am that this game is "dead". I dont know what went wrong, was it bad marketing or, bad luck or maybe something else,…”
“I started this game at the very beginning, oh how far we've fallen Icarus. I wish with all fibers of my being that one day this game will blow up again. Every day I check the player count and lose a little bit of hope…”

“Battlerite is one of the most mechanically satisfying PVP games I have ever played. The combat is sharp, every move feels deliberate and rewarding, and the skill ceiling is high enough that 100+ hours in you are still…”
“High skill ceiling, low barrier to entry. A game that rewards mechanical mastery and understanding. It feels like playing a MOBA, but you get to skip straight to the team fighting part. My absolute favourite competitive…”
“highest skill scaling game, died bc people would rather play games where they can blame their team and cope in different ways, which cant be done in battlerite- if you get your head crumbled its your fault and thats it,…”

“this game was so cute and felt really engaging to play, too bad it never made it.”
“Que locura que abandonaron este juego, literal con amor y tiempo para mi podia tranquilamente llenarse de players. La jugabilidad estaba espectacular, literal estaria bueno que al menos dejen de alguna manera que la…”

“At the time, me and all my friends quit league to play Battlerite and it was only becoming more and more popular until the studio went trendchasing and farted in the game's mouth. One of the biggest losses in online…”

“It's just 2v2 or 3v3 team battles, and even that isn't that fun so not even a real MOBA. Not only is this game dead, but the matches take about 4 minutes, so just matchmaking and loading into the game take longer than…”

“4 year old game and this is the character selection I have access to? Game is a joke for new players. Onboarding is good enough to get you going but there is no "catch up" mechanic for brand new accounts or incentives.…”
“When this game came out it made me switch from league, i enjoyed it that much. no more 20 minutes of farming,making a build. Just 5 minutes of pure action, cool characters with cool abilities. I had really high hopes…”
“[quote][b]Note: Dying PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's insufficient, dwindling active player population. The developer abandone the game three years ago, yet persists in…”

“I'll be honest, I haven't played this since 2018. At the time, I thought it was just ok as a simpler alternative to other F2P MOBAs which offered much more depth. However after 8 years of it being wiped from my memory…”

“Pure skill and action. Really, one of the best games in its genre killed by devs themselves chasing the battle royale goose.. We need Battlerite 2 in 2026 :(”
— a player, Steam review · 207 hrs played“Missed this game so much lately, sad the devs made the worst possible decisions again and again, basically killing the game in the process (battlerite royale, made to capitalize in the growing battleroyale genre at the time, was the biggest mistake by far) As everyone else i…”
— a player, Steam review · 570 hrs played“mechanically this was one of the best games i'd ever played. it's a shame how they split the playerbase and then abandoned this game. i'm still getting email updates about stunlock's new projects. i would not play any of their games again due to how quickly they finish and then…”
