Brazen Blaze -3vs3 Brawl Arena-

Edit: They abandoned the game, to make cash grab games under the name Bazooka Studio's. RIP MyDearest Studio and Brazen Blaze. (Dev's confirmed they will no longer develop the game further, they will only republish old stuff on rotation ie; old shop skins and re-publish old weeklies back in rotation, in short no new maps, no new runners, no new skills, no new sub-weapons). They went FTP to save the game, ride the wave while... it is dead! Player Base & Matchmaking Issues: - The player base is so small that full 3 vs 3 human matches are nearly impossible. - With over 50% of the Top 100 leaderboard playing fewer than 5 games a week, the player base feels nonexistent, leading to matches filled with bots, 1v1s with bots, or incomplete human teams facing full bot teams instead of proper 3v3 human matches. - Don't be surprised to see multiple players with just one win on the worldwide, cross-platform Top 100 leaderboard, a clear sign of the game's tiny and declining player base. - If they remove the bots, the player base will be exposed as nearly nonexistent, and there will be no recovery. This decision will be the final nail in the coffin, and despite the inevitable consequences, I predict it will happen soon. When it does, I’ll be here to say, ‘I told you so,’ as they’ll have pushed this agenda despite the clear risks. - Update: I'm done being a forever beta tester for a game that has been out for over 8 months, with a shrinking, dying player base, yet still feels like it's in beta, if not in an even worse state. They keep locking, removing, and re-releasing the same game modes. Removing bots from Round Team Match, only to bring them back a week later, only further proves they lack the skills and knowledge to manage a live-service game, as outlined below. They have learned nothing. Poor Leadership & Mismanagement: - Leadership pushes shallow updates instead of real fixes (e.g., basketball and punching bags that nobody touches after the first few minutes). - I've never seen a team prioritize the wrong updates this badly, it's as if they're taking advice from people with no experience in the multiplayer gaming industry. - Shrinking dev team and mismanagement show they can’t handle a live-service game. - Developer communication is almost nonexistent, and events and content are dull (we had better and more events during the beta). Loss of Fun & Declining Engagement: - The excitement from beta is gone, and the game’s fun has drastically declined post-release (it never peaked the same excitement as in the beta). - Players are leaving faster than new ones join, shrinking the player base (as shown by the in-game top 100 leaderboard). - Runner balance is a mess, especially when most matches are 1 vs 1 or filled with bots. Monetization & Economy Issues: - Battle Pass offers little value, with no reason to grind (even used to be a paid Battle Pass). - Runner Pass is a total joke, pay for the game, then either spend more money or grind excessively in bot-filled matches just to unlock all five runners. - Monetization is greedy, with overpriced $35+ recolored skins. - The in-game economy is a mess with multiple pointless currencies. - "Exclusive" event rewards are meaningless due to re-releases. Social & UI Problems: - The social lobby is poorly implemented, with muted mics and idle avatars resembling Budget Power Rangers as your avatar, highlighting the small player base. - Constant pop-ups pushing you to connect Discord to find players, with no option to turn it off, feels like harassment until you link Discord. - Unwanted large Discord screen with no option to turn it off. Final Verdict: - Fun for a few games, but I highly recommend refunding within 2 hours due to the lack of players and shallow long-term content. - If it goes F2P, it will be too late to fix the current state due to mismanagement.
