and overseas testing. Since then, it has been making final adjustments based on feedback from many players who wanted a game that had "easy controls and short play times."

Urus is a melee damage dealer with a strong base HP who possesses an Ultimate that pulls in nearby enemies, suppresses them, and sends them flying.

Diana is a ranged archer who fires arrows and wants to maintain a certain distance to hit enemies accurately. She can use her Ultimate to rain down arrows on designated areas.

Brawl is a mode where one player plays by selecting three different characters. Brawls take place on terrain narrower than in Battle Royales and players will play a sequence of Calixers. Once a Calixer is defeated, the next Calixer will step up to fight. Therefore, it's crucial to choose Calixers that align with the player's preferences and carefully plan their order.

Duel is a 1 vs 1 mode where victory is decided by a best of 5. Before starting the game, players can devise strategies based on the Calixer the opponent has chosen by checking their selection beforehand. Furthermore, the player who loses a round will be able to choose an additional item in the next round, which will also be a variable to consider.

Calixers are unique reimaginations of familiar mythological figures. In this global early access, a total of 15 Calixers have been released.

The first season, "The Great Crush Era," revolves around the Calixer Poseidon, with different Calixers sailing the seas on pirate ships. Accordingly, cosmetics matching this concept have been released alongside the Battle Pass.

In the upcoming seasons, various costumes, weapons, and more will be introduced to showcase the unique personalities of each Calixer.

BATTLE CRUSH is supported on Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam), and mobile platforms. It will feature crossplay, allowing players to enjoy battles across different platforms. Feedback from the first beta test for PC was used to make improvements to the keyboard and mouse controls. Currently, the controls feel consistent across different platforms, so players can choose based on their preferences.

Since its first reveal, the development team of BATTLE CRUSH has continuously listened to player feedback and strived to incorporate it into the game in a positive direction. The development team aims to further enhance the overall experience, making it more enjoyable with features like spectator mode, chat functionality, and new modes as each season progresses.
