Battlerace moves like a bastard child born from two titans:
the frenzy of Call of Duty and the tactical scale of Battlefield.
But it has neither their budget, nor their player base, nor their fame.
And yet…
when you start a match, you realize there’s something beating beneath it.
The weapons respond well, the movement is fluid,
and the AI of the bots, surprisingly violent,
forces you to stay alert, to never underestimate.
It’s not perfect, but it works.
[h3] The good: [/h3]
Solid and dynamic combat
Aggressive, competent bot AI
Maps large enough for flanking and teamwork
[h3] The bad: [/h3]
No active online community
Matches are bots-only
Menus and UI feel rudimentary
[h2] The State of the Game: Ghosts on the Server [/h2]
Today, Battlerace is a silent battlefield.
The servers are alive, yes, but empty.
It’s like walking into a theater with the lights on,
but no actors, no audience.
You play alone.
Or rather, with bots.
And those bots… they’re all there is.
But they don’t give up, they don’t slack off.
They attack like you’re playing the grand finals of an eSports championship.
[h2] Price [/h2]
There’s something magical about cheap games that still work.
Battlerace is on sale almost all the time,
and for the price of a gas station cookie,
you get an experience that, with friends, could be pretty fun.
[h3] Ideal for: [/h3]
Beer-fueled nights with open mics
Players who enjoy no-frills arcade shooters
[h3] Not recommended for: [/h3]
Players looking for active multiplayer matches
People who can’t stand being alone in a server
[h2] Conclusion [/h2]
It’s not polished.
It’s not lovingly maintained.
But it’s playable, fun, and in its humility, honest.
And when you play it, even for half an hour,
you give a bit of life to a project that refuses to die.
So give it a shot.
[h3] PS: Play it with me, please! Don’t leave me alone with the bots, they’re beating me to a pulp. [/h3]
