Quote:
Welcome to a world where champions dedicate their lives to the arena.

Battlerite is a PvP team arena brawler and the spiritual successor to critically acclaimed Bloodline Champions. Experience the unique combination of a top down shooter with a fast paced fighting game. Take part in highly competitive, adrenaline-fueled 2v2 and 3v3 battles.

Engage in quick and intense action as you take control over one of several champions, each with their own special abilities. Dodge bullets and pull off massive ultimate attacks with the use of unique WASD movement & cursor based aiming. It’s all about skill-shots, timing and reaction.

Quote:
RAW ARENA ACTION
Become the greatest of your kind in 10-15 minute explosive battles of reaction. It doesn't matter if you are a veteran or a rookie on a rampage, all champions have the same fighting chance. This is top down brawling in its purest form.

PERFORM BATTLERITES

Gain strength and unlock powers by performing ancient rites. Pick your rites to counter your opponents and strategically customize your play style as the match progresses.

WIN THE CROWD
Fight side by side to the sound of the roaring crowd in vibrant arena settings. Team up with friends, smash in style and gain fans in the process. Battlerite is the ultimate spectator sport.

TOP-DOWN BULLET-TIME
Take advantage of the thrilling bullet time system, allowing you to re-think your next decision after every take-down. Drift through the memories of your favorite action movies whilst ducking deadly attacks in slow-motion.

Awesome reviews on Steam so far.

Sadly missed the date for the beta, so still couldn't try it myself yet.
Some trial or demo is not available i guess?

I'm reading mostly very positive things about the game though.

What's keeping you from buying it from steam, trying it for max. 2 hours, and then getting a refund if you don't like it?

Eh good idea, didn't think of that. grinhurt

But i fear that max 2h for a multiplayer game like this might not be enough to see if want to keep playing it in the future. Sad

Really enjoying this alot. But in small doses. It's way too stressful with my atopic dermatitis acting up currently... so I have to take it slow.

I thought about this, but aren't the refunds going back only as steam currency? You can't get your money back to paypal for example.

True. But whether it's a month or a year from now, I'll always end up purchasing something from steam. Doesn't really matter whether that money is in my steam account or in my bank account.

Based on my own post, I gave this game a try for 1 hour and 40 minutes. I'm a very casual gamer and not a multiplayer arena type person at all. Yet even for me the game was very fun, and I can't help but feel very pumped while playing it. It's a rush! I might end up keeping it. Whatever the case, if even I am enjoying it so much, surely for a more competitive gamer 20 euros is a steal. It's very polished and very fun. I can heartily recommend it.

To be honest, I couldn't find the option in gleam on how the prize is delivered, I guess we will both find out in two days. Laughing

This is hilarious. They re-release almost the same game under a new name and now it's good?! What happened?!

Bloodline Champions was good too. At least until the publisher (I think it was Funcom?!) decided to go apeshit with the microtransactions. I'd also say that BC had bad release timing when it came out. Meaning.. too much competition even though the game was pretty unique. Hell, even now, Battlerite has the problem that everyone who looks at it, thinks it's a MOBA.

After 12 hours of playtime, a friend of mine asked me on Teamspeak about the game. So I explained it to him. But there was also Pleblord McDerpington in the channel who felt like he had to throw his very educated opinion in. Telling my friend that the game is clearly a moba.. hew would know... since he watched "a video" a while back. Everything I said about the game was basicly invalid.... Laughing

Yah I played Blloodline and the population was crazy low so I stopped. Went and tried this and if it hadn't had a big shiny new logo, I would have thought it was the same exact game.

I enjoy the mechanics in this one but for some reason only like 1 or 2 heroes so it got a bit boring after a while
