Battle Crush, the mythology-inspired MOBA, is now in early access
This more family-friendly take on the formula includes some Smash-inspired mechanics
Get it now on Google Play and the App Store
Mythology-inspired MOBA Battle Crush is now live in early access for mobile, Switch and Steam. Duke it out with a roster of 15 characters called 'Calixers', all inspired by mythological and folkloric figures (except maybe the dinosaurs) who duke it out to be the last man, woman, dinosaur or otherwise standing.
If we had to describe Battle Crush, we'd call it an all-ages version of Smite. That's a bit of an oversimplification, but the game does take common MOBA elements and mix them with things like platform fighters (think Smash Bros). It's faster-paced and a lot more frantic in terms of action, perfectly suited for the mobile experience, although hardcore League players may frown on the lack of given buttons to jab at.
We got the chance to go hands-on and give our impressions of Battle Crush a while back, and our general assessment was, "Good, but could be better if it differentiated itself more." So while we believe it's worth a try, it might also be worth waiting to see how it evolves during early access.
Crushing the competition
Battle Crush will launch with three game modes: Battle Royale (you know what this is), a 3v3 Brawl and a 1v1 Duel mode. Best of all, it also boasts full cross-platform support. So if you want to play on mobile, switch to Switch and then Steam, all your progress will carry over.
Battle Crush is available now on the App Store and Google Play!
