NCSoft also sent over a list of key features via the press release, as follows:
- Quick, action-packed strategic brawl battles with simple and easy controls:Â With a distinctive set of user-friendly controls and strategic combat actions, players can combine five types of skills to enjoy satisfying gameplay where each round only lasts eight minutes at most. Each attack and defense skill varies in distance, timing, and stamina consumption depending on the characters, allowing for strategic gameplay.
- Unique battlefields and various game modes with up to 30 players: The battlefield narrows gradually over time, forcing players to always stay on the move. Players can choose from various game modes – Battle Royale (Solo or Team), Brawl (Solo or Team), Build-Up – and unique battlefields based on their tastes.
- Play with Calixers with their own story and unique skills: Battle Crush offers a diverse range of Calixers, inspired by mythological figures like Hermes, Poseidon, Urus, and Lops. During the Beta Test, it offers 15 Calixers in total, exhibiting their individual charm through their unique skill sets.
