Battle Crush Beta Available on Switch, Steam, and Mobile

Battle Crush, the mythology-inspired MOBA, is now in early access
This more family-friendly take on the formula includes some Smash-inspired mechanics
Get it now on Google Play and the App Store

Mythology-inspired MOBA Battle Crush is now live in early access for mobile, Switch and Steam. Duke it out with a roster of 15 characters called 'Calixers', all inspired by mythological and folkloric figures (except maybe the dinosaurs) who duke it out to be the last man, woman, dinosaur or otherwise standing.
If we had to describe Battle Crush, we'd call it an all-ages version of Smite. That's a bit of an oversimplification, but the game does take common MOBA elements and mix them with things like platform fighters (think Smash Bros). It's faster-paced and a lot more frantic in terms of action, perfectly suited for the mobile experience, although hardcore League players may frown on the lack of given buttons to jab at.

While we recommend trying it, it might be prudent to observe its evolution during early access.
