BATTLE CRUSH is an upcoming action game that serves as a fusion between battle royale and MOBA games. It harbors elements from both the genres to cook up an exciting action-packed gameplay loop! For new players, the game can be quite challenging to understand, especially if you’re unfamiliar with how Battle royale games work. No worries, as we will cover everything you need to know about Battle Crush and its gameplay mechanics in this guide. Let’s start!

Understanding the Gameplay and Combat Mechanics of BATTLE CRUSH

BATTLE CRUSH, at the core, represents a full-fledged open world battle royale where the core goal is to be the last one standing. You will be pitted against 29 other players and you can choose to either play solo or in a squad of 3 players. The map is a bit smaller than other popular Battle royale games but that is because BATTLE CRUSH also has some MOBA elements attached to it. 

Firstly, all of the characters in the game, amicably called “Calixers”, possess unique active and passive abilities much like a MOBA. You need to manage them on the battlefield, taking note of Stamina and ability cooldowns.

On top of the usual progression mechanics, you can get stronger in battles as well by picking up new equipment from opening chests scattered around the map. Sometimes these chests are hidden in plain sight, other times they can be tricky to find. Much like other battle royales, you can even pick up handy medkits that allow you to regenerate HP after a gruesome fight. The core controls are easy to learn. You can use the virtual joystick to control your character and move around. A handy dodge button is also available to dodge incoming attack projectiles. In case of terrain changes, this dodge can transform into a Jump button to help you escape tricky situations. 

Stamina is the most crucial factor. Your most important resource is the green gauge that appears beneath your health bar, which is always visible above your character. This meter will run out when you fight, evade, or pretty much do anything but move. Obviously, once it reaches zero, you’re pretty much helpless until it recharges, thus the secret to continuing attacks without becoming completely defenseless is to manage your stamina. 

Other than that, you have three main offensive strategies. You can create combinations with Light Attacks that culminate in a more potent blow. They are inherently weaker yet require less energy. The same is true for heavy attacks; you hit harder and need more stamina. If you press the button enough times during each attack type, you can complete a combo; but, if you need to withdraw and reposition, you can always stop midway. Lastly, there are ultimate abilities that take too long to charge up but can be useful in changing the tide of the battle. 

Battle Crush: Battle Royale Tips and Tricks

The main gameplay mode of Battle Crush is extremely clear-cut. It’s a straightforward combat royale that takes place on a network of connected floating islands. Every island will start crumbling individually instead of forming a closed circle. When this occurs, you will be alerted and if you are unlucky enough to witness the earth collapsing beneath you, you will be able to leap to still-steady ground if it is nearby. Otherwise, your dodge will become a jump while in mid-air.

Of course, taking out an opponent isn’t the full game, just like in most battle royale games. An adversary will become dazed when their HP is reduced, and a few more hits will eliminate them. But if you give them a chance, they’ll bounce back and return to exact their retribution.

Equipment

Another essential component of the game is equipment, where you can find chests with items of various rarities to increase your stats as you progress around the map. It takes time to stop and open them, and in the event of an attack, you are defenseless. Therefore, keep an eye out for goods that could help you turn the tide of combat.

Open-World Advantages

Travel stealthily since some types of terrain, like wheat fields, will help you conceal your movements. The same is true of your adversaries, though, and frequently you won’t notice them until you are directly in front of them. Therefore, if more than one opponent is in the same concealed region as you, either prepare for a fight or try to forecast where they’re coming from when they enter.

Additionally, you will be able to acquire scrolls that have benefits like increasing your dodge or temporarily making you invisible. These are obviously huge game changers in battle, but luckily, you can store these scrolls for a later time. Simply hit the scroll’s icon on the hot bar at the bottom of the screen to utilize it at that time.

Playing BATTLE CRUSH on a bigger screen of your PC with BlueStacks without worrying about battery drainage and smooth gameplay, is highly recommended.
