Gameplay

Battle Bears Gold is a first-person shooter game, with cartoon styled bears starring in different roles in the game, as each of the 11 classes, battling each other out on various game maps. The 12 characters are Oliver (Soldier), B-1000 (Assault), Riggs (Heavy), Wil (Chub Scout), Huggable (Huggable), Astoria (Sniper), Graham (Engineer), Tillman (Demolition), Botch (Assassin), Saberi (Combat Tech), and Sanchez (Arbiter). [1] The players in the game compete in different game modes, with varying objectives based on which game mode is selected. The game has received multiple accolades from the "Best App Ever" awards, as well as commentaries, reviews, and coverage by sites like Slide To Play. [2] The app was developed by SkyVu Entertainment, an Omaha-based company, and released as a successor to Battle Bears Royale. [2] The game is SkyVu's current flagship game, and is supported by in-app purchases, in the form of joules, which also can be earned by playing the game, and gas cans, which have to be purchased. The game has a ranking system that progresses with every match.

Supported Platforms

The game is available for free on the Windows, Android, Google Play, and iOS App Stores. As of May 2014, all Battle Bears Gold platforms (except for Windows) are up to date on the most recent major balancing update, 2.23.

Battle Bears Gold supports in-app purchases through the Google Play Store, Windows 8 Store, and the Apple iTunes/App Store.

Maps

The maps are in a wide variety of locales, including No Bears' Land (a warzone), Skate or Die (a skate park), and Abusement Park (a carnival). Each one has its own features that affect gameplay, ranging from overhangs that affect aerial weapons to semi-transparent walls that block the player-character's way; some maps are even interactive.

Reputation System

After a match players will have a "thumbs up/down system" under them measured by a standard thumbs-up/thumbs-down system. Players may give ratings based on the actions of other players in-game. The reputation system is used to mark offending players and time them out, as well as reward positive action by players with free in-game currency.

Development

Battle Bears Gold was released as a version of its predecessor, Battle Bears Royale. [2]

Reception

Gamewoof said of Battle Bears Gold, "Every now and again something that seems like a waste of time when starting out, surprises you and ends up being something worthwhile. Battle Bears Gold is one of these games." [3]

Lonniedos said of Battle Bears Gold, "What does freakin'... that bear has a gun. I don't know if we're not giving this enough attention. im going to think that its probably the case because there's no too much attention for that, that bear has a gun, lets play." [4]

Dan Avery of Queerty writes about Battle Bears, "Battle Bears, a hit release from SkyVu Entertainment, sees militaristic ursine soldiers blasting warm-and-fuzzy pink bears called Huggables. When the cuddly critters are shot, though, they bleed rainbows instead of blood and guts." [5]
