Available since March 2022 only, it seems that Babylon's Fall is struggling to find a solid community of players. As proof of this, the sad record he set during the week of May 2, all of which was reported by VGC .
Only one registered player for Babylon's Falls
What a sad record for the promising title of Square Enix . If we could have thought that Babylon's Fall had all the ingredients to please , with in particular its combat phases based on those of Nier: Automata therefore offering similar hack'n'slash gameplay, the release of the title did not make it. unanimity among the players.
If the title of Square Enix records an average of 60 players online per day according to data from Web Steam Charts, which is, we will not hide it, very low, it is on the date of Wednesday May 4 that Babylon's Fall had only one player logged in .
A sad reality that the player in question, who revealed his identity on social networks and who therefore turned out to be journalist Dashiell Wood , wanted to take a humorous tone through a tweet.
Following this, he did not hesitate to change his biography, indicating for a few hours " World's only Babylon's Fall Player ", to be translated as "The only player in the world of Babylon's Fall".

When announced during E3 2018, Platinum Games , which is at the head of the title, promised a 3D beat them up , but a few months later, the studio apparently decided to change several elements, transforming then Babylon's Fall in a foursome dungeon-crawling . In addition, the artistic direction has also changed to reveal much more pastel tones.
Nevertheless, despite an uncertain future, Square Enix does not remain defeatist and is reassuring since in a press release published last March, the studio announced the arrival of new content as well as future improvements .
In the world of video games, there are a lot of consoles and there is something for everyone, and at Nintendo, you have plenty to do! If there are several more or less rare versions of its machines, and here's one that's quite peculiar.
