I found this game through a video by Seycara (the composer of the OST). I received a code by supporting the development via the paypal link on the developer’s website, before the Steam Release. The team behind this game has a lot of heart and I admire their dedication to making this game the fantasy BR/survival experience that has been lacking in the market. I highly recommend participating in this game’s early access if you’re interested in helping Homage Studios make this game the masterpiece I know it can become.

  • The game is extremely enjoyable if rough at the start, learning curve is massive, YOU WILL BE ENDED by anyone who has any idea of what they are doing.

  • Classes are vastly different from each other, each with ups and downs and counters.

  • Battles feel like something out of a fantasy book with shit going EVERYWHERE even in small fights from 1v1s to 3v3s or more depending on how many teams are ingame.

  • Crafting and upgrading is how you all weapons and armor it’s simple but, works well you get your gear and choose to either start hunting or more scaveging to get upgrades.

Spellbreak

Spellbreak

Context:

I have been playing since the earliest days of the Pre-Alpha and am probably one of the first players to ever enter. Now to be fair I am not the most active, but combining all platforms together I have somewhere above 1500h playtime since 2018.

Review:

I love this game and that holds true even though this is a negative review. However, I can no longer recommend this game for the following reasons:

1. Spellbreak For Dummies

The game has been “streamlined” from its original complexity in the pre-alpha. From what used to be many different classes and access to every gauntlet at all times (even duplicate gauntlets could be carried), you now get 6 classes and a total of 12 talents. In a lobby you have access to 1 class and 3 talents, which cost talent points to use. You can carry a main gauntlet and an offhand, the exception being the Spellslinger Talent which allows you to carry extra gauntlets and runes in your inventory at the cost of slots for heals.

While I absolutely love Spellbreak’s combat system, it has a lot of missed potential with blaring issues that either never get fixed or take forever to get addressed.

I have been playing the game since it launched back in September with 500+ hours on the Switch version and 150+ on the Steam version.

There are several issues with the game that is easiest just to list out:

1: Bots. Almost every match done in the Battle Royale mode will have some amount of bots in it generated by the game. The game at no point mentions these bots exist within the game nor does the game identify which characters are bots and which are real players. I went my first 10 hours not even noticing that a lot of what I was facing were bots. At low level play it gives a false sense of accomplishment, and at high level play they are just free loot that pretends to fight back.

So far I am disappointed in this game. From the store page this game looked promising but after purchase you discover there isn’t much interesting and very few options that can be found to play the game. I feel like the $9.99 i spent on this game is way to much for the limitation this game has.
