BattleLeague Heroes (beta) - An Anime Game That IS NOT FOR ME!

1K View2023-03-28

I recently tried this game called BattleLeague which is currently in beta, and I don't know... I was definitely not feeling this one. Gameplay wise you are introduced to a bunch of characters at the beginning of the game like a visual novel, but I was quick to skip the story because it was seeming to be pretty boring.

I just wanted to get into the action of this game. I was then introduced to the arena battle system where you have to build your team and fit them into the combat zone within the limit the game gives you. So lets say your main hero costs 3 points out of 7, then you have to fit maybe a group of priests or warriors that cost 1 point, and then a group of frost mages or maybe warlocks that cost a further 3 points. And that fills up your team.

Then you pit your party against other players teams. And when you win or lose you gain points that go towards your trophy rewards. These trophy rewards give you items like new heroes, or gems. So it's quite useful. But in order to level up the trophy section, you must repeat the arena over and over again, you even unlock a x10 repeat grind option, but only 10 times.

After that I guess you're on a cool down period. So after that you will have to manual repeat once again. There is an adventure mode, but you need to get to 300 trophy points or something like that, so I left my game running the repeat 10 grind for this period.

It was around this point that I was starting to get really bored of this game. It's just a constant repeat of the arena section to level up the trophy section to get more gems so you can save the gems in order to go to the shop and buy a big rare or higher chest, depending on how many gems you have saved, so you can buy a loot box to hopefully get better heroes and duplicates to upgrade the heroes you already have, so you can boost your combat power. Because if you can't up your combat power.

You will just keep dying in the arena over and over again. I did come across a weird glitch at one point, where my team wasn't changing when I went into the arena. The combat power had changed at the top of the screen, but in the combat arena I was still using my weaker units, and constantly dying. This lasted for a while and no matter how many times I changed my units, they weren't showing up in the arena itself.

After leaving the arena section and closing the game and coming back again, the bug had finally gone. Though it didn't matter since my teams were still too weak for the arena and for the adventure mode too. In the adventure mode you need a combat power of higher than 6k. my best team compilation at the moment only has slightly over 4k power.

So I'm pretty stuck. I also noticed that there is an AFK tent in the menu where you can claim gold from being AFK from the game as well. I'm assuming I just grind the arena over and over watching my teams die and still get some progression in the trophy room so I can still get rewards? I'm not sure. but at this point I had enough of the game and closed it. Visually, I actually enjoyed the art style.

The anime art work was nice and the character models are cute and cool looking. It's a shame the game itself just wasn't something I enjoyed at all. Overall I'd say that this game is for those who just like to idle their game over and over, grinding the same thing and hoping to get better upgrades. But I don't think this is the game for me. I personally got bored pretty fast with all the repeat grinding, I won't be playing this again. It's just something I'm not interested in.
