“Lineage II” Developer NCSoft enters the battle royale scene with “Battle Crush!” The beta test runs from October 23rd to October 30th, 2023, lasting 8 days, with a caveat that all account and game data will be wiped post-beta.
“Battle Crush” offers a distinctive battle royale experience with a 30-player showdown on a dynamic, crumbling battlefield. Matches last a maximum of 8 minutes. As the battlefield crumbles, quick adaptation, and strategic decision-making are essential.
“Battle Crush” focuses on delivering an intense gaming experience through a range of exhilarating and unique skills:
- Light Attacks: Swift, damaging combos.
- Heavy Attacks: Powerful blows for crowd control.
- Ultimate: Invulnerability while charging.
- Dodge Attacks: Quick evasion and ambush opportunities.
- Environmental Interactions: Push or toss foes out.

Treasure chests and consumable items can dramatically alter a match’s outcome. These items appear on the battlefield and offer significant power-ups. “Battle Crush” introduces Calixers, each with a unique story and action skills, allowing diverse playstyles and narratives to unfold.

“Battle Crush” offers multiple game modes:
- Battle Royale (Solo/Team): The last player or team standing wins in this classic mode with up to 30 players.
- Brawl (Solo/Team): Pick 3 Calixers, and battle until you’re the last one standing.
- Build-Up: 1 vs. 1 mode with a strategic twist.
“Battle Crush” can now be tested through the Google Play Store and Steam.
