The mythology-inspired MOBA Battle Crush has arrived in early access, bringing its unique blend of battle arena action to mobile devices, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. Players can choose from 15 colorful fighters called "Calixers" - an eclectic mix of mythological beings, folk legends, and even prehistoric creatures battling for supremacy.
A Fresh Take on MOBA Gameplay
Battle Crush combines traditional MOBA elements with platform fighting mechanics reminiscent of Super Smash Bros., creating an accessible, fast-paced experience tailored for mobile gaming. While simplified compared to hardcore MOBAs like League of Legends, its streamlined controls and quick matches make it ideal for casual play sessions.
During our hands-on preview, we found Battle Crush enjoyable though somewhat derivative. While worth trying in its current state, we recommend keeping expectations modest as the game continues development.
Cross-Platform Brawling
The early access version launches with three distinct modes: a Battle Royale free-for-all, 3v3 team battles, and intense 1v1 duels. The game supports full cross-play progression, allowing players to switch seamlessly between mobile, Switch, and PC while maintaining their account.
Battle Crush is now available for download on the App Store and Google Play. For additional gaming recommendations, explore our weekly roundup of top new mobile releases or browse our comprehensive list of 2024's best mobile games.
