    Nowadays the Battle-Royale genre is really overcrowded. And most of these games are very similar. Spellbreak changes this formula and delivers a fresh but still familiar product. The main difference ist that you play a wizard instead of a soldier. That means you use spells instead of weapons. And this feels just right!

    Come on guys i would be doing myself a disgrace by NOT saying this is the best Battle Royale!

    I actually think Fortnite is better ONLY because this game just came out. If they give constant updates, then this will become the next big thing! :)

    I have never particularly loved the genre but I must say that I was pleasantly impressed by the mechanics and graphic style of this game. I still find it pretty meager but if the developers put in the effort it can have great potential to come.

    The balance is good I think ( the competitive players might not think so XD )
    I am loving how I need to improvise every time I start a match. It keeps me on my toes in a match, because I really need use what I have on me ad that moment when I see a enemy player. All the different elementals make the game feel like your a true battle mage / or avatar XD The game will need to find it's stable player base and keep them engaged. Chapters or seasons ( might be the same thing ) will do that hopefully. Give the players a reason te keep playing. and you will have a stable player base. What would like to see in the future of this game ??

    I would really like two see more gauntlets ( elementals/magic types ) shadow, water, lava, sun, gravity, steel, sand, Glass.

    More uniek magic styles like, transformation magic, summoning/necromancy, weapon calling magic, trap magic. Time magic

    And I would also like two see more gameplay options like:
    Like terrain shaping, so you see even more destruction effect from battle's. Destruction elements would help this game shine even more I think, if you your enemy is hidding or camping in a building just make it crumble while they are in it. Burning buildings would also be great fun to use as tacktic. Or a area where using fire would not be to smart when your in it, like a gass filed room or a oil covert erea. But that's for the long term I think XD

    All in all this game has lots of potential !!!!    … Expand

    Absolutely love this game. Even when losing I'm having more fun than I've had on a multilayer game in years! There are still some bugs, but considering this is still in game preview, that's to be expected.

    Крайне интересный батл рояль про магию. Вспоминаю старенькую магику.
    Хорошая динамика и множество взаимодействий стихий на поле боя. Играется так же, как и выглядит - хорошо.
    Не хватает условной озвучки персонажей (диалоги / касты) и разрушаемости карты (хотя бы зданий, деревьев), но это мелкие придирки    Крайне интересный батл рояль про магию. Вспоминаю старенькую магику.

    Spellbreak is a riveting take on skill-shot PvP combat. Every second keeps you on your toes and landing your shots feels so good. The graphics are simple and pleasant and the game is very well put together. A few bugs here and there, but this review is being written just a few days after launch.

    Modern Warfare is fun, but the size and frequent updates hinder it for me and my friends. Valorant is fun, the low graphics makes it playable for almost everyone. But it's just for PC and the game gets too sweaty at times. But Spellbreak! Graphics just low enough for everyone to jump in, crossplay, cross-save, battle royal, element mixing, fun! Mad fun! It's perfect.

    This is somewhat the most awaited battle royale for me. Its the best as it is one of a kind. You get a mix of mobility and shooting at the same time trying to figure out good combos and talents to come with your gauntlets. Really diverse and damn the map is gorgeous some parts are foggy/dark/bright its just the best for me.

    Spellbreak offers a breath of life into the lungs of the battle royale genre. New battle royales have to fight hard to keep their head above the water that is infested by the titans that are Fortnite, PUBG, Warzone, and Apex Legends, but Spellbreak’s innovative gameplay might just be what the genre is looking for.

    Spellbreak tries to reinvigorate the worn-out battle royale genre by ditching guns and fortifications in favor of an excellent magic combat system (combining spells works great!) supported by remarkable character mobility. The result is a frenetic, very satisfying game. And it’s free, so it’s easier to turn a blind eye to the fact that the map is large but empty, and there isn’t even a simple chat system to make communication within the team easier. [12/2020, p.37]

    The potential to grow into something superb is there, but even in its current state, Spellbreak is a great breath of fresh air for the genre. The game should find an audience with fans of battle royale or new people who are fed up with the gun-toting nature of them, or for those who are simply looking for something a little magical to dip their wands into.
