Battlerite 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Two teams of two or three players battle in short rounds, in this free to play team action game from Stunlock Studios, based on arena battle gameplay. It is a spiritual successor to Bloodline Champions. Each player chooses a unique Champion with their own offensive, defensive and movement abilities. Beating every player of the enemy team wins the round, and winning three rounds wins the game. Rounds last about two minutes, and when the timer runs out a Sudden Death boundary slowly forces players into a small area in the middle of the map. Unlike traditional games of its kind, the goal is not to destroy towers, and you do not kill neutral units to buy items. Matches run about ten to fifteen minutes, and a replay feature called the Odeum lets you review them. Maps favor different strategies. It left early access in 2017. Rounds of two minutes still make every match a quick one to try.
