It’s 25 minutes into a match of The Witcher Battle Arena when I realize it should have ended 15 minutes ago. I was enjoying the simplicity of attacking iconic characters from the Witcher world with flashy spells, and didn’t notice that the clock had stopped ticking and the respawn count had locked in place. Battle Arena has broken, and the match will not count. I reboot the iPad app, load up another match, and run into new, equally irritating bugs and disruptive connectivity issues. This is common, unfortunately, and unacceptable for a free-to-play 3v3 MOBA that already has substantial problems.
The rich world of The Witcher is primed and ready for competitive multiplayer game, and Battle Arena gives each of its nine launch characters a fun and distinct set of skills. Letho is a brutish tank who can deal and receive damage in bulk at the expense of mobility; Iorveth’s archery expertise leaves him vulnerable if anyone closes the gap, but utterly devastating from afar if you can land his skill-shots; and Geralt of Rivia himself modifies his stylish attacks with the Sign magic that makes him such a talented monster hunter in the mainline Witcher games. These characters and more rotate in and out of free-to-play accessibility, so if you play long enough you can enjoy everyone without spending a dime.
