The verdict
Batla is a Quake-like toy-robot arena shooter whose servers are shut down, so it can't be played now. Skip it unless you want nostalgia; even when live it was criticized as pay-to-win.
Great for
Nostalgic former VK players who want to remember it, not anyone who wants to actually play
Main risk
The game no longer works: servers are shut down and it hangs on loading with blank menus
