What players say

Players are split on Behold Battle. Some enjoy it as a passive, low-effort game for multitasking, while others see it as a shallow downgrade from the developer's earlier Mages and Monsters, missing interactive depth. The game's randomness frustrates attempts to master the hardest difficulty, and a lack of unlockable modes or progression limits long-term appeal.
