Up to 30 players come together in NCSoft’s action brawler Battle Crush to compete in eight-minute rounds and find out who will be the last one standing – a feat made even more difficult by the fact that the ground can fall out from beneath the players’ feet. The game allows players to combine seven skills in order to fit their playstyle. The game casts people as “Calixers”, Battle Crush’s version of Heroes. Each is inspired by mythical figures such as Poseidon, Hades, and Hermes and has their own story and skill sets. Battle Crush offers several game modes for solo players and groups. These include Battle Royale (Solo or Team), Brawl (Solo or Team), and Duel. The Battle Royale mode is built for up to 30 players and takes place in a collapsible arena. Players must survive each other and the environment to make it to the end. In the Brawl Mode, players can team up in groups of three to fight in a smaller arena. Finally, Duel is a best 3-of-5 mode in which players compete one-on-one. Players choose more than one Calixer to play as and when one player loses a round they are allowed to choose an extra item to use in the next.
