Trove recently expanded its player-versus-player offerings beyond the existing Bomber Royale mode. The update introduced Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, and Deathmatch modes, allowing players to utilize their standard character skills and abilities in combat. Participants can earn Battle Coins and Battle Boxes to unlock new collectibles at Battle Benches, with leaderboards now tracking performance.
The implementation of these modes has drawn criticism, particularly regarding the matchmaking system. Players cannot select specific modes; instead, they are placed into a general queue that randomly assigns them to one of the available game types. This lack of choice has been highlighted as a significant frustration for those who prefer specific gameplay experiences.
Reviewer assessments indicate substantial technical and design hurdles. The author reported difficulty finding matches on Xbox, suggesting a lack of crossplay, while PC matches were marred by stat imbalances. Because character stats and gear carry over into PvP, the author noted that lower-level players are frequently insta-killed by endgame-geared opponents, creating a miserable experience for those not fully leveled.
Ultimately, the update is described as a disappointment. The author suggests that unless a player is on PC with high-end gear, the current PvP state is not recommended. The review advocates for normalizing stats in arenas to ensure competitive fairness, concluding that console players should currently avoid these modes entirely.
