YMMV / BattleCON

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Rexan. A ruthless Evil Overlord who cynically manipulates his subjects, or a compassionate ruler who wants to improve the lot of a nation of Fantastic Racism victims?
  • Awesome Music: BattleCON Online gives each fighter their own leitmotif. Many qualify:
    • Kimbhe's theme goes for full Autobots, Rock Out!. The in-your-face electric guitars at the start make this theme particularly memorable.
    • Seven's theme combines pleasantly jazzy organ and quick strings in a great way. The melody has a confused and uncertain feel to it, and contains a few sudden shifts, fitting the character.
    • César's theme opens with slow, menacing guitar and percussion, and slowly gets more intense with hard-rocking electric guitar and synths, reflecting his Threat Level mechanic.
    • Anath's theme is heavy and ominous, fitting for a battle against an avatar of destruction.
    • Mikhail's theme is like the opposite of Anath's. A One-Woman Wail and fast drum beat provide most of the track, with other instruments being more subdued and only coming in occasionally. On top of sounding celestial and otherworldly, it captures his power by representing how he can defeat you quickly and without much effort.
    • Irialandradayamorella's theme sounds goofy, alien, and serious, on top of having a number of seriously catchy melodies.
    • Rexan has a rocking theme with some Ominous Pipe Organ, Ominous Latin Chanting, and One-Woman Wail thrown in for extra spookiness.
  • Game-Breaker:
    • Luc van Gott can be considered pretty unbalanced in the first BattleCON game, War of Indines. All his abilities and stats contribute to create a fighter that has answers to almost everything, is almost impossible to consistently counter, and doesn't have any really bad options. Even first-time players can win matches with him without taking a hit from the opponent.
    • From the second game:
      • Arec Russel Zane possesses 4 counters that, when used, force certain actions to not trigger. When used by a good enough character, he can be infuriating to no end. When Level 99 announced a Kickstarter for BattleCon Unleashed, they acknowledged it by saying "also, we rebalanced Arec" in the description.
      • Runika has 5 powerful artifacts, but damaging her makes her deactivate one, and she's quite weak without them. What makes her a Game-Breaker is that she starts with ALL of them activated, making her unstoppable. Even worse, they created a similar character in the same box, Clive, that fixes all of the problems she has. Specifically, he can activate one of his modules every turn, but getting stunned makes him lose all of them.
  • The Scrappy: Arec Russel Zane is hated due to a combination of being a Bratty Half-Pint and being one of the strongest characters in the game.
