Let me just start by saying this: Panzar is dead. Not dying, not on life support—it’s a full-on digital graveyard. If you’re considering trying it out, you’re better off spending your time elsewhere. That said, let’s dig into why this game failed so miserably.

Gameplay

At its core, Panzar is a PvP-focused fantasy arena game that once had some interesting ideas. The gameplay revolves around team-based combat where you select from a variety of classes, each with unique abilities and playstyles. The combat itself is fast-paced and can feel satisfying—when everything works.

Unfortunately, even this core gameplay is undermined by poorly balanced classes, grindy progression systems, and a lack of any meaningful updates in years. The once-decent mechanics now feel clunky and outdated, especially compared to modern arena combat games.

Graphics and Presentation

Visually, Panzar isn’t terrible, or at least it wasn’t when it launched. The environments have some detail, and the character designs are colorful and distinct. However, the graphics are clearly stuck in the past, and the game hasn’t aged well. It doesn’t look terrible for what it is, but it’s nothing that will impress you either.

The UI, on the other hand, is a mess. Navigating the menus feels like trying to decode an ancient puzzle, and it’s clear the design hasn’t been updated since launch.

Community and Population

This is where Panzar completely collapses. The game is, for all intents and purposes, abandoned. The servers are practically empty, and finding a match is almost impossible. The few players you might encounter are either veterans who’ve mastered every aspect of the game or bots that fail to provide any challenge or entertainment.

For a game that relies heavily on multiplayer, having no active community is the death knell. Without people to play against or with, Panzar is effectively unplayable.

Positives

The class variety is decent, with some creative abilities and playstyles.
Combat can be fun in short bursts, assuming you actually find a match.

Negatives

Dead servers: Almost impossible to find matches.
Outdated graphics and clunky UI.
Aggressive monetization and grind-heavy progression.
No meaningful updates or support from the developers.
Abandoned by both players and creators alike.

Final Thoughts

If Panzar had been supported properly, it might have had a chance. The foundation for an enjoyable arena brawler was there, but the developers failed to build on it. The game feels abandoned, and playing it now is like wandering through the ruins of something that could have been great.

Unless you’re a masochist for empty lobbies and outdated mechanics, steer clear of Panzar. This is a game best left to fade into obscurity.
