Battlerite

At first glance the title might seem to be a regular MOBA game, but similarly as Bloodline Champions, Battlerite doesn’t follow the path created by Dota. The title lacks any bases, towers or allied units controlled by artificial intelligence. Instead, it offers open arenas on which the gameplay is focused only on direct deathmatches.

The game has a strongly action-based combat system. The action is presented from a top-down perspective and the mechanics are based on shooters and other action games that use similar perspective. The character is controlled by using the WASD keys and each attack must be first correctly aimed with the mouse. The pace of the game is high and dodging is the key to winning.

Each time someone dies, the time in the game becomes temporarily slowed down, allowing the players to catch their breath, analyze the situation and prepare new tactics. The crowd present on the arenas is an important aspect of the gameplay as well. Gaining the crowd’s favor provides rewards.
