[H1]Potential but not enough players[/h1] I originally had written one of the first reviews for this game, it was a positive review because at the time, the game was new and I was excited for its future. It was easy to find a match, the community was buzzing and vibrant. Everything seemed to be going well for it. Fast forward a couple months and I ended up with: *Discord account *Discord app on my phone *A bunch of new friends on Steam that never play the game and that I never talk to *A game that nobody ever plays And thus, realizing how a good experience has ultimately gone bad... like so many other multiplayer games, it's possible for the game to just die. I found myself on the Discord server plenty of times, asking people if they wanted to play a match only to recoeve no reply... A discord server with quite a few people. If I just run the game and hope for the best, I will just time out looking for a match. I have given up. It's sad to me to do this because the developers are ve...

About This Game
Blade Ballet is a whirling dance of multiplayer robot destruction. Each character possesses a unique personality and special abilities - use them to claim victory as you spin from one challenging arena to the next, battling for dominance in this action-packed fighting game.
Blade Ballet is simple enough for anyone to pick up a controller and jump into the fray, but players must master the timing and unique abilities of each bot to come out on top. This makes the game easily accessible to new players, while allowing for a high skill ceiling to truly compete with your friends. Much of the Blade Ballet gameplay revolves around the innovative “blade spin” mechanic – players control their rotation to sneak past their opponents’ defenses and secure the kill. Each arena also introduces new game mechanics that players must incorporate into their strategies.
- Frantic duels to the death between two, three, or four players
- Spinning and stabbing combat system that encourages simultaneously hectic and skillful clashes
- Ten robots with unique mechanics and abilities
- Nine battle arenas with challenging hazards to overcome - or use against your enemies
- Three exciting modes to choose from - Robomination, Overclocked, and Blade Ball - customizable for endless replayability
A good part of the flexibility of gameplay in Blade Ballet comes from the unique abilities of the bots. Players can choose to master their skills with one bot by continually fine-tuning their abilities. Alternately, they can keep things fresh and chaotic by switching up their bot picks for every match.
Catbot: No bot is safe with this adorable deviant on the loose. Don't let that cute face fool you - she'll slice through your shields without a second thought.
Torque: Yes, it will blend. Torque has no shields, but spins so fast in "Blender Mode" that any bot would be crazy to get within his slicing range.
Syphon: How many swords is too many swords? Syphon steals the shields off other bots. Then he turns them into a ring of slicing death.
Riot: This solid and imposing maneuverable bludgeon of a bot makes up for her lack of swords with spiked shields that regenerate quickly over time.
Nix: Uses teleportation to effortlessly and mysteriously phase through enemies and line up the perfect attack. Commits fully to each new location - if he goes off a ledge, there's no turning back.
Trigger: Hectic and unstable. Lives for mayhem. She loves nothing better than to sling powerful bombs across the stage, wrecking everything in sight. Is not immune to self-destruction.
Ruckus: Powerful wrecking ball sweeps away all opposition. She uses a mace to reposition other bots at will. A mace-punch to another bot's face is particularly effective in combat.
Vanguard: This chivalrous, noble bot has strong ties to a bodyguard origin. Armored and heavy, with a blazing charge. Slow-turning, but he makes up for it with a long reach.
DropJaw: Don't get too close to this bot unless you want to be laid low by a stunningly disruptive shockwave. His typical combo includes jump into Ground Pound, finishing off with the stab of a sword.
STEVe: STEVe was never meant to battle in the Blade Ballet arena, but he gives it a good shot. The difficulty of mastering the strafe and powerful lunge makes every landed hit worth celebrating.

Our goal is to keep gameplay interesting by having players navigate hazardous stages while dueling to the death. We've come up with a variety of artistically, mechanically, and thematically interesting arenas for bots to battle across.
Thanks for checking out the game. Love to hear what you think!

damn I bought this game and there is no one for me to play with so I bought another controller and am now playing with myself, if you are reading this don't bother buying this game because there is no chance in hell you are going to have more fun than I am right now. My left hand just got salty because my right hand is using catbot to pierce through my left hand's vanguard's shield so I was only able to type this review out with my right hand for my left hand is too busy trying to refund the game at the same time. send help.
Great game for friends! Controllers 110% recommended. It could use more customizations, however. Other than that, it's still a very fun party game and shows a lot of promise in upcoming updates. Stay tuned! NEW UPDATE: 8/14/16 Thank you so much for adding graphical settings now! The game can run much smoother on my laptop, for a more enjoyable experience. However, the game is still a bit lacking in features. I will update my review once a larger update releases. Still a great game!
this game is fun when i played it at momo con and it was the only game that stand out for me but $9.99 is not a good price. i just cant play the game at all well i could play with a controller but i dont find it fun by meself playing ughh and the online is just bad there is no point of playing this game at all.that really it for the game just local and online.im sorry blade battle i wanted to like it but it not that great.im sorry.
Pros: -Ruckus Cons: -Other robots that aren't Ruckus -Ruckus won't carry a conversation very well -Ruckus isn't pettable -Ruckus won't give relationship advice -Ruckus isn't the only robot Summary: Ruckus
[h1]Pros:[/h1] [list] [*]Varied, interesting characters with unique abilities. [*]Strategic counterplay (e.g. [b]Torque's[/b] dual-blades counter [b]Catbot's[/b] shield-piercing). [*]Skins are not locked behind microtransactions (they are unlocked by playing the game). [*]Maps involve a theme that enhances gameplay (e.g. scoring a goal on [i]TURBO CLUB[/i] in [u]Robomination[/u] awards a power up). [*]Playing with friends (online) is extremely easy and takes very little time to set up. [*]Gameplay is smooth and feels natural (mostly). [/list] [h1]Cons:[/h1] [list] [*]Some characters feel extremely cheesey. [b]Torque[/b] is basically invincible when used by a competent player, and [b]DropJaw's[/b] shockwave will crush your hopes and dreams, along with your bot. [*][u]Robomination[/u] and [u]Blade Ball[/u] are great, but the game feels extremely lacking in mode variation. [*]Playing online is a bit tricky - sometimes, players lag out and fall off the map without actually seeing...
EPIC
Servers are closed and dreamsail is no longer working on the game, imo it's a good local game tho.
Great game but there is no offline AI mode so if you're on your own then you can't do much because whenever i go into online no-one is there. EVER. If you have many people to play with it's AMAZING but otherwise wait for the game to get popular so there is a point to using online mode.
Local only, game has no community and its day 2 :(
