I think one of the main problems for the death of balthazar was the dislike bombing of bulwark players. Intertruth a few years ago said some STUFF so balthazar rn is around a 75% like rate if im not wrong? So its not being as recommended as much. I love balthazar, its a very amazing and fun game but the dev team kinda felt a bad taste in alot of peoples mouth.
balthazaar balancing is kinda trash im ngl...... takes forever for them to balance something, but in the same update they buff/add a new weapon that breaks the balancing even more. if youd like a really original game, theres one called "PHIGHTING"
The thing about unique games on roblox is that they dont have long lasting communities, roblox isnt the most captivating platform for it, and it doesnt reach the correct audience intended. And only things that are relevent to youtube, tiktok, all social media related subjects, will be played or focused on. And there aren't that many large youtubers cover these types of games as most of them do more "childish games" for their age group audience so that they have more views-more money.
Balthazar is going down only because most players have already gotten every weapon and skin they liked since the progression is very fast there. im sure once the devs give players a reason to play it again it will go up in playercount
